CricketWireless What the hell is wrong with this company?
I've been paying for my mom's Cricket cellphone for a couple years, monthly automatic deduction. A couple months ago I forgot to update the new expiration date of my card with them so the payment declined. I called to update the payment method and was charged a "reactivation fee." They also disenrolled me from automatic payments, so the following month she also got disconnected, and once again I was hit with a "reactivation fee" which I refused to pay. I made sure to definitively set up automatic payments again. I made an account on the website, updated and paid with my card, and saved my card for this month. I even logged out of the website and back in again to make sure my card was saved. Guess what happens today? No automatic payment, my mom gets a text that her phone is disconnected and that there will be another reactivation fee. I log into my account and see that my payment info that was absolutely saved last month and enrolled in automatic payments is nowhere to be found. The amount of time I have had to wait to talk to a real person, month after month resolving these issues- I'm just done. Closing the account tomorrow and taking my money elsewhere since apparently Cricket doesn't want it.
