Discount offered by agent was not applied to my account

I recently spoke with a representative over chat to lower my bill to match a competitor's deal at $55. I waited a billing period and the next bill showed as $120. I called on July 6th and spoke to a representative who told me that that chat never occurred and there was no promotion to match the offer.

Why was the agent able to promise a rate that was not offered?

Sounds like a lawsuit this to be honest, I've not yet had my billing but I was given a truly good deal, I'm now waiting to see if its going to happen or if its just a fad/false advertising or misleading someone into an agreement. 

Either way, I'd be threatening some contract lawsuit regardless if its month by month its still an agreed amount per month for a period of time.
