Small enough to never question. That's how it stays on the bill for six months.
A third-party web listing service, $24.99 a month, on one location's internet bill. The contract says, in writing, that third-party web listing is not authorized.
Six months later: $149.94, for nothing anyone asked for.
Sample dataYour contract says what's included and, often, what's expressly not: no device protection, no overage on an unlimited plan, no third-party add-ons. TIP keeps those terms and checks every billed line against them.
A charge the contract prohibits is a billing error, however small, however long it has been there. A legitimate service that simply isn't in the rate table is left alone; the ground is what the contract forbids.
Every billing error comes with the line item, the amount and the reasoning, in plain English.
By default, TIP does the rest: files the dispute with your carrier, follows up until the carrier answers, and tells you when the credit lands. Every dispute and every carrier answer is in your Dispute Tracker. No work on your side.
Want TIP to ask first? Your call, any time. Every billing error TIP finds carries a confidence score: how sure TIP is that the carrier owes you the money. TIP comes set to file a dispute for every error it finds, whatever the score. If you'd rather TIP file fewer on its own, raise the bar: file only the high-confidence errors (85% and up), or only the near-certain ones (90% and up), and TIP brings every error under the bar to you to approve first. Or turn automatic filing off, and nothing is filed until you say yes. It's one setting in TIP, and you can change it any time.
Either way, TIP checks the next invoice for the credit. A credit promised and never paid is a billing error too, and TIP goes back for it.
TIP is taking on a small number of founding customers this fall.
Thanks. TIP will reply within one business day with times for a 30-minute call.
Bring one recent carrier bill if you can. TIP reads it live on the call.
