Finally in March, a chat agent says "We never received your old phones, so you're responsible for the full price of the new phone." I shared with them the USPS tracking info saying the items were delivered. The chat agent pushed back saying "all that shows is a box was delivered, not the contents."
I went nuclear and filed a complaint with the FCC.
Within 24 hours, I received a call from a person from the "office of the president" of ATT. I know he's not really in the office of the president, but the customer care he extended to us was second to none. He picked up the phone each time I called and gave us daily updates until the issue was resolved.
Not only did the credits properly post on the next bill, we received a one-time statement credit in the amount of the missing credits as an additional service recovery.
Long story short... if you aren't getting anywhere, file with the FCC.
Wow, I didn't know that was a viable option. It might come to that, if my next call leads to another shrug from them.
