New York City is suing T-Mobile, alleging the carrier violated consumer protection laws. According to the lawsuit filed Thursday in the New York County Supreme Court, T-Mobile allegedly sold used phones as new and put customers on expensive financing plans without their consent.

The lawsuit also alleges it overcharged customers, didn’t provide them with legal receipts and deceived them over its refund policy.

T-Mobile has sold used phones as new at least 21 times in the last three years, according to the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP). The carrier also adds hundreds of dollars to advertised prices by partnering with third-party financing companies like SmartPay, a press release from the city alleged, and some customers e-sign the leasing contracts without knowing this.
