Re: ETF
I was able to get out of my contract last year when I found out they were changing fees on me while still under agreement. I didn't have to pay no ETF's and ported my numbers over to cricKet which don't require a contract. |

According to neufuse, he told Sprint to cancel the contract when it was up (in 15 days). It's entirely possible that he would have been unable to call 15 days from that date. Perhaps he was going on vacation, moving, or something. In any case, you should be able to call your cell phone provider and tell them to cancel service as of a particular date. Since the cancellation actually occurs on the day that the contract expires, there shouldn't be any ETF.

Probably made the mistake of using their "auto-bill" service, they just charge your bank account whenever they feel like it, and it's up to you to try to get it back. And unlike a credit card payment, its a LOT harder to get a refund from the bank side.

Well, that makes no sense, why not suck it up for just 15 days, some things posted here, makes no bloody sense @ all. Why even ask, should have let it ride out.
I don't like early term either, particularly if I got screwed with billing, but to complain and not go 15 days is and must be plain stupid.
....I can go with a year, two years seems a bit extravegant, with any provider. |

TYVM for this info. I have a complaint against the local Sprint store for selling service in a town they have no towers and thus no service. They have the gall to keep selling there when they know they have no right to! |

Write a letter to CEO of Sprint and FCC. I guarantee 2 outcomes. 1 - you will hear from the CEO's office at Sprint looking to resolve your issue and 2 - the FCC will send a letter within 2 months saying they are investigating. Sprint will refund your ETF faster than selling you a new contract.

Not as a class representative. My guess is that the class rep will get several hundred thousand. |

said by baj475  :Quite some time ago Sprint told me that I owed them an ETF. I told Sprint to KMA and that if they wanted to try and collect they could meet me in a California court. To bad they never tried. I could have used the class representative's share of that $73M.  your share: probably around 14 cents.

I even told them dont do it till its over and they to this day have not refunded me the $175 they charged me! maybe now I can somehow get that back.... File a Small Claims action to recover the ETF, and cite the court decision just handed down. Don't forget to ask for costs and fees of filing/service, and INTEREST on the ETF from the date of your payment. |

I assume you would have tossed any bill with the $175 ETF at that point. Don't tell me you actually paid it and then tried to get your money back? |
