Do you feel with your skin that the real game has become difficult these days? Moreover, prices have risen so much that it is even more difficult. At this time, many of you will be interested in what you can save even a penny. So today, let’s find out how to inquire and get back the communication fee unreimbursed money, which can be one of my hidden money.
What is the unreimbursed communication fee?
Most people have experienced changing or canceling carriers at least once. It is common to settle the usage fee up to the point of such change, but it refers to the money remaining after not receiving the excess fee or deposit paid in advance during the settlement process.
There are various reasons for such unrefunded money, but excessive payment due to discount conditions, domestic call charges, double charge and payment of charges, and non-receipt of deposit after cancellation are common.
If you have ever moved or canceled your cell phone number, canceled your home phone and internet phone calls, or changed your carrier, you may have unrefunded money that you don’t even know about, so it’s a good idea to look it up once in a while.
Isn’t it amazing to say that the unreimbursed amount of telecommunications expenses that have not been collected so far is about 150 billion won? Carriers will never voluntarily return it. You must personally inquire and apply for a refund.
