      Domineke D told me I was paying activation fees and sales taxes when I bought 4 phones with him for $500. That was a lie. Later I noticed they were actually set up and go fees. 1) He never disclosed these fees ahead of time 2) He didnt set up any of the phones. When I came back to the store to confront him he claimed he waived the activation fees to make up for it. Now Ive learned thats another lie. Im still getting charged by ******* on my next bill for $160 for activation fees. Liars crooks and scam artists work here. Go anywhere else. Just took another look at the receipt and noticed another scam charge $10 per phone Remaining Phone Balance . $200 in scam charges in total.

      I went into the ***********, AL store at 10am on 4/2/2025 to pick up a phone I had ordered online. The guy that was working was on the phone and as soon as I walked in looked at me as if I was inconveniencing him. Then as he supposed to be helping me he answers his phone again to tell someone he needs to call them back. There was zero customer service put forward by this guy. I asked about the trade in I had submitted with ******* and he proceeds to say that's through ******* and how I should've come to the store cause "you just gave someone in ********* $1.50". First, how I choose to upgrade my phone is none of his business. Second, he could've just been polite about it.Finally, throughout the entire interaction it felt hostile and very comfortable. Almost like I was putting him out being there.

      March 1, 2025, Sales Person was ******** *. He lied about what he was promoting and the cost of the items. I was erroneously overcharged and had charges on the invoice for items I did not approve. Told me items were free due to promotion and then was charged for them.

      My wife purchased new phones for our family. They charged us twice for brand new phones. They were made aware that day our account was debited twice. ****** claimed the charge would fall off a midnight which it did not. She messaged and called all day and he never responded. She went up there before they closed (Clio) and he claimed he was busy and stated the charge was pending which is a crock being that a debit transaction is taken instantly. She asked for a refund and he claimed it couldn't be done and that we now have to contact corporate despite this place taking $2200 from our bank. I emailed Mr. **** multiple times and he will not respond. This does constitute theft and we will treat it as such if our money isn't returned.

      Complaint: 23126103

      I am rejecting this response because:

      It took 3 weeks and me writing the BBB complaint before this company did anything. I sent 3 emails to their employee with zero response after he took my money. For anyone reading this, please take notes before doing business with their facility. And be forewarned, Victra is not advertised on their outside display, they fool you by appearing to be a direct ******* outlet...This cost me excess time, money and stress...We went to the store multiple times yet because you "Eventually" returned my money you think this is acceptable? This is disturbing you people think you can just reply and return money as it benefits you. You can pay my next phone bill for the ignorance displayed by your staff and upper level management.

      I went to the local ******* Victra store to get a new phone for my partner who has ALS. He was told he needed a newer phone to do voice banking. There was a promotion going on at the time get a new iPhone 15 on us. I was told by the person working with us that by **** would not change by more than $5/month. Nothing was mentioned about changing the plan. My next bill was well over $300. I was told the next bill would come down which it did to just below $300. Since I received this free phone, my bill has been about $50/ month more than it was. I went back on 2/25 and was told by the person working with me that I wasnt credited properly. She called someone and was told that I would get a credit on my next bill for everything I overpaid and that bill would probably be close to $0. I did reluctantly sign up for automatic draft to save $20/month. I just got a bill that was $265. I was credited $20 for signing up for automatic draft but thats it. No one seems to care that I was told one thing and it was not true. I called the *******.Victra customer service number to speak with a supervisor. I was told that he was busy and I would get a call back which hasnt occurred yet and it has been two days since I was told that I would get a call. Basically there has been NO customer service and I was lied to about the free phone. It seems that long-standing customers (Ive been with them 25 years) are punished while new customers are given great deals.

      I went into ******* on chagrin blvd beachwood **** on 3/10/25 to inquire about service there was a promotion on line about get I phones on them as a new customer I went in trying to get the promo for $25 for 4 lines I asked the man in store if he was familiar he said he thought it was just on line and he called his manager the manager told him he could offer it in store as well. My credit was ran and I was approved for ******* now I still dont understand this part as the offer said get the I phone free on them but okay. Since I was only approved for ******* I only got 3 phones and a watch that is supposed to be free as well. I was told that my bill would be 150+ tax monthly with all that I got. I asked several times as I was informed by ******** to be careful of ******* as they have a habit of giving false info and they have hidden fees. I told the *** that and he assured me I was good. I went back to the same store in 3/15/25 and the same girl wrote down for me my bill would be *********** which is 3 phones and a watch. When I seen my first bill it was ****** I called customer service and was told to go back to the store I did that and was told the general manager would be in on 3/20/25 to stop back in. I went back and he was not there I was told he was working on my account as of now I have not heard anything from him and nothing has been done to my account to fix the error that was made by the original store ***s. I was told I would be getting credits to reflect what was told to me in store. I was told those same ***s have been messing up other peoples accounts. I was also told the ****** I paid in store the day I signed up was for my activation and the taxes in the phones and watch. This is ridiculous and I should have stayed at T-Mobile I have been stressed to the max because of this and the service has been horrible all around customer service and mobile service.

I have been trying to cancel my account for the last several days I went back in the store and I was told to call customer service customer service I spoke to 2 ***s that acted as if they were going to help me and they did not instead I keep being redirected to go back in the store to cancel. yesterday was the 30 days I had to cancel I went back in the store and the *** there said no you have to call customer service I told him absolutely not Im done playing these games I want to cancel my account now. When he called customer service he said one was answering customer so I had to come back today smh this has been a true nightmare and because of this my blood pressure has been sky high. I was instructed by ****** to make the ****** payment I have that in a text message and the remaining balance would be credited. I would also like a shipping label to send my devices in so I can be done with this company please and thank you this has truly been the worse situation I have ever had.

      On 11/25/24 I purchased a Iphone 16 pro based on a three year contract (and phone chargers, etc) for $240.33 that was based on a conditional promotion that permitted a return within 30 days from Victra, a "customer service oriented branch of *******, as described by the store manager, ***** ******** Because I had both health and automobile issues that were persistent and ongoing, I asked both ***** and sales representatives *** and ***** many questions about the options for returning the device within 30 days as I wanted to gather additional information about the pending termination of my current cell phone contract with US cellular. ***** gave me his cell phone number to call if I had any issues and wanted to return the device within 30 days. I tried to do so several times prior to the 30 day period, and also tried reaching the ********/**** DIstrict Manager, ** *******. Both failed to respond to my attempts to communicate with them about returning the phone and the health/transportation issues I had in doing so. Subsequent attempts to communicate with ******* have been unsuccessful. I never used the device and returned it to *******'s main address in ****** on February 7, 2025 via **** and the tracking confirms the package was received by ******* on 2/11/25 at 12:06pm. I continue to receive bills. Again, I did not use the product (or the related chargers, etc) or service. Sadly, I continue to receive bills from *******, now totaling $956.48. ******* has not acknowledged receipt of the product but has just sent me a copy of the bill with a transmittal letter saying the copy was furnished at my request. They have also hired a bill collection service, ***. *** has threatened to report this on my credit report unless the balance is paid.

      In December 2024 I went to a Victra owned ******* store to open a business line. I worked with ******* ****. I was quoted $128.99 a month for the phone and Internet gateway with unlimited data. A few days later I went into the ******* business app to check my billing. I was shocked to see a bill for $443.11. I went back to the store to discuss the bill. Tristain reassured me that it takes a couple weeks for the promotions and credits to show up. I waited 2 weeks. The credits and promotions never came. I still had a bill of $443.11. I refused to pay anything until this problem was taken care of. I started getting emails and text about my past due bill. I went back to the store again. Now I was told ****** ****** would be coming to the store to take care of it. You guessed it, never happened and my phone was shut off for non payment because ******* nor **** fixed the billing issue. At this point it's been over a month. I went to the store again and demanded my phone be turned back on. It's a business line, my only means of communicating with my customers I refused to pay anything over the $128.99 I was quoted by *******. I ended up having to pay $162 to get the phone turned back on because they still couldn't figure out the billing. I have not received a credit to this day for over paying my bill. Not only is my bill not right Victra owes me money! Again I was told ******* Mulrpy would look into it I've emailed ******* twice and get no response. I went back to the store on 3-17-25 to ask why I still haven't received the credits owed and how much my bill is ******* said, "Pay whatever the app says, I'm trying to keep your phone from being shut off." I filed a complaint with Victra on 3-18-25. I received an email from Victra on 3-19-25 that it will take 7 days to look into the issue. Its been 2 months and I have to wait another week. Meanwhile my bill is due on 3-21-25. I will not overpay again and will probably have my phone shut off due to non payment.

      A few months ago, we went into the Victra ******* store to add two phone lines. We met with a woman who told us that she normally worked at the ******* in *******. As part of the Black Friday deal, we were getting two new phones free with the new phone **** added to our plan. She informed us that while she could get us the iphone for one line, she would have to order the ******* for the line 0017. She asked us to wait until the following Saturday when she was working to pick up the phone. We went back the next Saturday and were told that she was let go. They eventually found the phone but messed up and gave us a new number for that line. We were told the phone wouldn't be free unless we had a different phone to trade in besides the Revvl. We went back in weeks later with an old ******* phone. The manager working said that the Yankton woman was making promises they couldn't keep, but he said if we would agree to try ******* and modem for a month, he could make the new ******* free. Despite being told it would be free, we thought we were being nice in taking the modem. About 3 weeks later we brought the modem back in. They told us we had to bring it to ***. We went there. They were closed. We went the next day. *** said they couldn't take it without some code from *******. We went back to Victra, waited in line forever AGAIN. They told us they didn't know what to do and to come back another day to see the manager. I came back the next day. Again, a huge line. Frustrated at the long wait, I gave the modem to an employee that I spoke to before with a customer and said, **** won't take it. We don't want it. I'm not waiting for hours again to be turned away to play your games." Weeks later we get a box in the mail to return the modem and now a $300 charge for it. I'm beyond angry. Incredible amounts of time were wasted on getting a deal promised by their original employee all for someone to get a sales bonus. They purposely played games with me.
