QUESTION
Can I cancel a phone line without paying a termination fee?
Asked on Jul 20th, 2013 on Criminal Law - New York
More details to this question:
I am trying to cancel a line on a family plan with AT&T. The line is still under a contract. I am having difficulty paying my phone bill due to my hours at work being cut. Currently there are four lines on the family plan. I am the account holder and I pay for two of the four lines; the other two is paid by the responsible parties of the lines. I do not have the means to pay the early termination fees. Is there any way for me to cancel the line and have the termination fees waived?

Probably not but talk to AT&T and ask about it. Sometimes they may waive the fees.

You cannot cancel the phone line without paying a termination fee since is AT&T's normal practice. You can, however, try to discuss the matter with them to see if they will waive the fee.

The answer is in the contract. This is why we have contracts. Ask AT&T if they would be willing to waive it. If not, then you are probably stuck, because if you don't have the means to pay early termination fees, you probably don't have the means to pay a lawyer, either.
