under what circumstances can a port out request be rejected?

Long story but we bought out a persons 3 year Century Link 3 yr contract and now half a year later we just got a port out request for their main TN. Ordinarily I would say hey if you dont like the service no big deal but this is going to hurt bad if they won't pay up what they owe on the contract (at least what we had to pay Century Link) I've never tried to reject someones port out request, can I just reject for lack of payment? Do I have to give a reason? Do I just do like all the other providers do to me and make them provide CSR data and keep telling them its wrong... XD I'm asking in earnest, I want to be legit but this is really going to hurt the company I work for

Our attorney advised that we can reject it for unpaid balances, but not for future revenue based on a contract. I never thought to ask whether early term fees could be assessed immediately so it could be denied. Tread lightly, the FTC/FCC like to take the customer's side. I think I'd call the customer and ask their intentions. On Wed, Apr 5, 2017 at 3:09 PM, Reinventing Rich <reinventingrich at gmail.com> wrote:

The gist has been, release the number per the FCC you cant hold onto it based upon past due balance. It's weird because I have had a hugely hard time with century link for what they have called "Unsatisfactory Business Relationship" But I think the 7 or so replies I have had are pretty much in agreement that I need to let the number go On Wed, Apr 5, 2017 at 4:30 PM, Carlos Alvarez <caalvarez at gmail.com> wrote:

Our lawyer cited something from the FCC exactly saying that about the unsatisfactory business relationship. But the buzz I hear is what I said about the FCC taking the customer's side on disputes. On Wed, Apr 5, 2017 at 3:44 PM, Reinventing Rich <reinventingrich at gmail.com> wrote:

Not an expert and definitely IANAL, but it had been my understanding, by way of our customer base, that rejecting port-outs for pretty much any financial reason has been banned for quite some time officially, though that doesn't stop some carriers from interfering for such reasons anyhow. But as I understand the FCC's position, the freedom to port shall not be abridged for any reason other than clerical reasons, and any contractual obligation or past-due balance should be pursued via civil remedies. -- Alex -- Principal, Evariste Systems LLC (www.evaristesys.com) Sent from my Google Nexus.

Sounds like you need a new attorney. Carriers may not reject port-out requests for any reason other than an identity mismatch (customer does not own the number) or that the number is not in working service. Carriers are also prohibited from disconnecting a number after receipt of a port-out request. Carriers are specifically forbidden from rejecting port-out orders for money owed or contract reasons, and are also prohibited from contacting the customer between the time a port-out request is received and the time the port actually occurs. A good telecom attorney would be able to tell you that; we?ve found you cannot rely upon a general attorney to know telecom law. In the instant example, you have a contract law issue that has to be adjudicated separately from the porting process.
