Hi, I took a connection of Cingular last month and I was told by Cingular's authorised store agent that for my company they are giving corportae account so I will get 13% in my monthly bill.
I was amazed by this scheme as I wasn't aware of any such scheme in my company. I asked him if he can give in print whatever he is saying. He has given me a print document mentioning that I will get 13% discount in my monthly bill. In the first bill I got this discount...in fact it was more then 13%.
But in current month bill they have given me only 8% discount. When contacted I was told there was no scheme of 13% and actual discount is 8%. They also wasn't sure how I got such discount in my first bill. So, I was very much disappointed and asked them since they are not follwoing the contract so I don't want to continue with them. I was told that in such case I have to give 150$ cancellation fees.
I want to ask am I really supposed to pay such fees in this case where I was totally cheated and I have the print record of this. It seems just for selling a connection Cingular is doing this type of act. I got discount in my first bill as I had option to surrender the connection within 30 days but after that they totally changed what they promised.
Pls. let me know the possible options. If I want to sue them do I need to pay to lawyer? How strong is my case ?
