In a nutshell: If took a look at your AT&T internet bill and saw a charge you don't remember, a discount that wasn't applied, or some other error, you probably want to dispute the charge. Most of the time, this means no more than just filling out a form and waiting for a few days before the problem is fixed. Even when it's not resolved so quickly, it still shouldn't be difficult.
If took a look at your AT&T internet bill and saw a charge you don't remember, a discount that wasn't applied, or some other error, you probably want to dispute the charge. Most of the time, this means no more than just filling out a form and waiting for a few days before the problem is fixed. Even when it's not resolved so quickly, it still shouldn't be difficult.
The first step of the charge dispute process includes filling out an online form. Have the following things present when you fill it out:Your AT&T account numberYour credit or debit card number, if you paid the charge with a cardYour bank's and routing number and your bank account number if you paid with a bank transferYour phone numberYour email addressYour bank's addressA photo of the bank or credit card statement that shows the charge you are disputing
AT&T payment dispute form
Start by selecting the Internet option from the Services menu.
You should get a phone call or email within the 5 business days following the day you submitted the form. They will tell you of their proposed resolution for your problem. If you are satisfied with it then skip the following steps. If you want to continue the dispute, take the next step.
AT&T Notice of Dispute form
The legal department's mailing address can be found on the form.
You will be given the results of this investigation within 60 days. They will either suggest a resolution or schedule a settlement meeting to talk the matter over with you directly. If you are satisfied with this settlement then skip the remaining steps.
Tell the company's legal representative that you want to send the dispute to arbitration. In accordance with company policy, a neutral third party will be selected to handle the arbitration and make a judgement. You may also be able to file a suit in your small claims court instead of sending the matter to arbitration, depending on the circumstances. Arbitration always requires an arbitration fee from both parties, but AT&T will usually pay your arbitration fee for you.
In almost all cases of a disputed charge, just filling out the form bringing the company's attention to the problem is all it takes to resolve the problem. If you need any assistance with anything, call the AT&T customer service department any time, day or night. It never closes.
GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
