“T‑Mobile will never change the price you pay for your T‑Mobile ONE plan.” That was the promise. The Un-contract. The whole reason millions of customers picked the magenta team over Verizon and AT&T in the first place. Now T-Mobile is retiring legacy 3G and 4G-era plans — Magenta, ONE, Simple Choice — and automatically moving customers onto “modern” 5G plans at higher monthly costs. Billing changes hit mid-July for the current wave. The company that swore it would never surprise you with a rate hike just sent the notification.
In the aughts, I had accumulated about
$30$30K in debt, but managed it through consolidation programs, and got it down to about 3%.Then the subprime mortgage crisis happened, and my creditors said sorry, but we’re fucking you over no matter what the contract says. Your interest rate is 12% and feel lucky we don’t raise it again.
Apparently companies will do that. I didn’t pay them at all and just waited seven years to wait out statute of limitations.
I had a fixed rate loan through BoA to do similar (handle some debt) and they tried that shit with a bunch of us. Everyone made a stink and wouldn’t stop emailing the CEO until he said they’d honor the original agreement.
Dude, how did you make it through?
Ah, I see the confusion and misplaced a decimal point. Corrected.
Parents suck!
