Discontinuation of Prepaid Plans

[was-happy-till]

I use prepaid for my phone. Have done so for years. I've even built up quite a credit from unused minutes.
I recently got some offers to upgrade to monthly for just $10 so I called to inquire. I was told that they were discontinuing offering prepaid to new customers and wanted to convert existing ones.
Then I asked about my outstanding credit of $600 and was told that would be lost once I switched over. Not even the $80 from this year would count. That's what I was told along with if I'd called last month I could have kept the credit.
What kind of inducement is that? Even if I called and got a different answer I wouldn't trust it.
How do I escalate this such that I can get something in writing?

I'm in same situation. Paid $100.00 plus tax Nov.1,2024 giving my Acct. $236.00 & find out now I lose all that. Been a loyal Fido customer for many years. Customer rep says because I was on Prepaid, I get a reduced Plan. I sais I would still be offered that Plan & not paid the $100.00 plus tax on Nov.1,2024. I feel cheated & scammed.
