Att says I have a balance , but I don’t

In the last month I have been going back and fourth with AT&Ts customer services reps. Every time I try to place an order it say “ you have an outstanding balance please contact us “ when I call them they tell me I do not have a balance . After some digging around they told me I have a uverse account that has a 500$ balance and I’ll have to pay it before I place any other order . Only problem with that is I’ve never had uverse . I’ve only have internet serviced and phone server with AT&T They can’t seem to help me . I tried contacting the fraud department and they told me “we don’t see any fraudulent activities “ So I don’t know what to do anymore Do I pay the $500 dollars account that isn’t mine ? Or do I leave the company?

1.   Okay you wrote you've had or have internet service with AT&T. What kind of internet service? ___________ (DSL or fiber)

 2.   And do you still have internet service with AT&T?   Yes or no

(Because it drives people crazy when they ask you a question and you don't answer the question)

At least saying something like ,  "the only internet service I've ever had with AT&T is  fiber service" would be something of a response.   Or maybe, "I have internet service but I don't know what kind it is It's horribly slow/it's blazing fast".

@formerlyknownas Sorry for the late response this website was down for me , Also i barely figured out how to reply to a comment.

So i have had the super fast(fiber) internet with ATT for about 4 months now Prior to that i have never had internet service with ATT

I have been calling CS for months now and they cant seem to figure out where the account i owe money is linked too 

some have said direct TV others have said u-verse.

They say i have a balance of 500$

But they dont\cant tell me where the account is and where it originated from.

Now i cant upgrade my phones or add any lines to my account.

I'd say go for the better Business bureau complaint route.  A better Business bureau complaint is forwarded to AT&T upper Management and will give them a chance to review this insanity and hopefully figure out it isn't you

I'm guessing they probably are claiming that you have a debt that belongs to somebody with a similar name. It wouldn't be the first time that AT&T didn't follow the numbers, that being the social security numbers

You should definitely run your credit report to make sure that nothing like this shows up on that.

Uverse was their internet service. Do you still have the account?

@formerlyknownas  Where would i file that? 

Also i have run a credit report , that was my first thought and nothing showed up on the report. 

Att cant even see the account on their end. 

Its just a stressful problem that has been going on way to long

Could you send me the link to file the compliant and what i would need to include ?

Thanks in Advance
