<div class="">I had a similar experience but having to do with fees
connected to my moving from one address to another. After
8 or 9 phone calls and still not getting service activated
on the scheduled move in date (or even the next couple of
days) I did get a fee that we had agreed to beforehand
would not happen. After numerous more calls and lots of
them arguing they had no record of any such agreement (the
supervisor I had spoken to before the move claimed there
would be a note on my account) I was finally fed up. I
told them, "I know you record all phone calls so I demand
you dig up all of the calls with me on these dates." I
proceeded to give them the multiple dates I had logged my
phone calls on. They reluctantly agreed to do this but
said it could take up to a couple of days to do. The next
morning (or maybe it was even later that same day) they
called me back and decided it was easier and likely way
cheaper to just refund me all of the fees and other crap
they tacked onto my account, including a new modem rental
that I specifically told them I don't want. I said, "if
you want the modem back you better provide me a shipping
label or else send someone to come get it at my
convenience." They eventually caved on all points.

I fought with Century Link over the FTTN speeds and
refused to pay a penny after the first weekend when only
their speed test met the speed expectations.

<div class="">It helps to argue and work on breach of contract to
