Double billed for AT&T Direct TV since March 2018 - How to recoop $3463.93

I've reached out to AT&T loyalty twice now. My husband has lung cancer and I've taken over reviewing our credit card bills. Imagine my surprise when I noticed years and years of AT&T Direct TV billing us 2x every month. The first time I contacted their loyalty group they found 2 accounts and noted one had been cancelled in 2018 but was still being billed. The rep even calculated the amount she would escalate to be refunded $3463.93 and said I would receive an email or phone call confirming how they would credit this amount within 7 business days. Today, I contacted them and the first person I spoke with saw that reps notes. However, when I was transferred today, the loyalty rep couldn't find any notes or any indication of the double billing....what? And, I had the ID for the rep I had previously spoken with but was told it wasn't in their power to contact her....Sounds like AT&T right. 

Somehow they must have lost the records when they recently credited - according to them - $92 for 4 months to my credit card. My plan is to report this fraud to my credit card company, to the Better Business Bureau and to the FTC unless AT&T adequately addresses this now.  Please beware when you allow AT&T to bill your credit card. Their systems are pretty messed up and/or they are trying to cheat their customers.

Probably well past time to submit a complaint to BBB and your state attorney general. Good luck.

It is up to you to read you bills, DTV like most companies gives you 60 days to report billing problems and may only refund for that period.
