Sorry for your problems--but you seem to be confusing us, an independent help site, with Tracfone. Here are some steps to consider, in order:
  1. Complain to corporate: use the corporate contact information here--http://www.corporateofficeowl.com/tracfone/Corporate%20Office
  2. Complain to the consumers bureau of the Federal Communications Commission, at 888-225-5322

In addition, you may want to consider a review/complaint site like https://www.gripeo.com/ or http://www.consumeraffairs.com/, each of which is designed to get action from the offending companies.

Good luck!
