Services shut off and they kept my money
I only had $70+ to pay towards my $121 phone bill. I tried defer it. Immediately paying the membership fee, then another 1.99 for what reason I don't know. But I was charged that anyway. Then I uploaded my metro pcs bill. It was supposed to pay on the 29th. My phone ended up being cut off and I was unable to work due to not having an active phone. I have to have an active phone for working. I emailed them and in my email I had given my number. They emailed me back saying in order to pay my bill they need my phone number. Ummm literally if you can read I gave my number in the email you're responding to sir. Anyway I gave it again. It's been 5 days. I'm behind 5 days and 5days no phone service has cost me a lot. Im going to lose my car if I can't go to work. I live in AZ. I can't be without a car. This no phone no work also has me in need of food. I need a refund or a working phone. A refund I can get food. A working phone I can make money and get food. But they aren't answering anymore emails.
