Hi,
I live in Savannah Georgia. I have a cell phone that is in someone's name. They make me pay $80.00 a month for cell phone service. I paid in August for August service, I just made a payment 3 days ago for September service, and they shut my phone off. Call the wireless provider and told them to cancel my service. I pulled $80 out of the ATM and handed them cash, for service this month. They won't turn the service back on, can I press charges on them for theft? Or will the local police department tell me this is a civil suite, since there was no contract signed. I have some text messages from this person saying he's keep my phone on for $80.00 a month, but they are refusing to admit that they received payment, and with only an ATM receipt I wonder if that's enough proof. Or if a $80.00 bill is something the police would even consider? Also the service was started on July 3, and he is saying the August payment was for July, and the September payment was for August, and now that it's September he has the right to shut off the phone, and not accept payment. THAT WAS NOT THE DEAL THOUGH. he told me verbally I didn't have to pay for July, but I don't have that wrote down anywhere. So I'm just confused as to what I can do if anything. Can I press charges?
