They also have changed the story at least three times I'm aware of.
I haven't paid close attention to this. What have the changes been?
They were moving people who are on a grandfathered plans to new ones without telling them and people were paying more. I'm not sure how that was legal to begin with. Lol
They were going to, but you could opt out of that move ... if you knew it was going to happen.
On top of that, some people were going to be moved off of "Plan A" onto "Plan B," while other people were going to be moved off of "Plan B" onto "Plan C." The whole thing about ending obsolete plans was hogwash. It was clearly "We want more money."
Oh no, not me. I'm a freak when it comes to my bills. They wouldn't be able to pull this bullshit on me. lol
They would have made it pretty easy to catch too. I get a text from them every month when they charge my auto pay, including the amount.
They were telling them, and giving them the opportunity to opt out (after dealing with a sales pitch).
Still crappy, but exaggerating doesn't help anything.
That's not what I heard/read. It didn't happen to me.
Did you get migrated? They started with a limited test that included outreach before migration and cancelled the plan to expand it after everyone was furious.
No, I didn't. I watch my bills closely. When I heard about this, I started watching my account even more closely waiting for them to do so I can strike. Looks like they stopped the whole thing before getting to me.
You can put pretty much anything you want into a contract.
