Is there not enough customer service reps to handle all the complaints

I have been a long time Verizon customer. I have home internet and wireless.  I think you have excellent service all around.  I will admit I have had a few issues over the years, but for the most part very happy.  Since Feb. 19, 2014 I have had nothing but frustration with my wireless account.  My daughter who was already a Verizon wireless customer wanted to save money by joining my family account.  We went to your Chino Hills store and were told we needed an assumption of liability; which they could not do and we were given a number to call that would take care of this.  Everything went well except email was wrong for me, but my daughter received one telling her as soon as I authorized the account it would be effective.   Thursday morning I called to straighten out the email, but was told I could go online and find the document and approve.  I received the confirmation, but since Wednesday my daughter’s phone could only receive calls.  Do you know how terrible it is for a young person to not be able to text?  Thursday evening my daughter calls Verizon for assistance and was told they could do nothing because she was not an authorized manager.  Friday I called Verizon and was on the phone for over an hour and if my wife would not have come home in time I was told I could not add my daughter as an authorized manager.  We got my daughter authorized and tech support over the phone fixed the issue for the texting without my daughter or her phone in my possession.  A gentleman by the name of Aman out of Chicago was very helpful.  I texted my daughter, but she was at work so I was not aware of the issue she could still only receive calls, but could not call out.  Funny isn’t it, but I could add her line to the family account in the store.  I do understand the security issues, but I think it has gotten out of hand.  Her phone worked fine until she went on my account.
After all this I discovered I was qualified for a military discount.  I decided to go to the Verizon store in Whittier on Washington and Lambert.  Optimistically thinking I could get everything done instead of being on the phone for another hour or more.  Well I was wrong.  Tien is the manager and sent me to Elmer (removed).  He said he can do nothing without the phone (odd but tech support can over my phone).  I now ask him about the discount I was told I qualified for, and he says my wife who is the owner has to release the account, meaning we have to come back.  As a result of all the running in circles with this company you could see how I am extremely frustrated. In addition now knowing that when I retired and lost my discount I didn’t need to release account. That was about 6 months ago.  Also I was working for the Post Office and went to same store to apply for a discount and was not told she needed to release the account. That was approximately 2 ½ months ago.  Never heard from them after that, but I don’t work for the Post office any longer. Also, I tried to remove the password for my account and was told it is mandatory to have password.  I told Elmer that I have been a customer for a long time and that has not always been the case and his reply to me was that it has always been that way.  I left the store and maybe you have been around, but you might want to check that out and I know you have the technology to find out how long I have been a customer.  I hate to be lied to. 
I believe a lot of the problem lies with communication; it seems every time I have an issue, there is a new policy.  I know the frustration would not have happen if I was informed of policy changes and your employees didn’t assume we the customer are aware of all policy changes.
I went to Verizon store in Pico Rivera to activate my military discount; my wife wasn’t asked to release account.  Once again I was there almost an hour due to new ways to verify my identity.  I had my California drivers license and my DD214 (military separation papers) but that wasn’t good enough.  Thank God my vehicle registration was accepted for validation.
My contract will be complete November 2014 at which time I am seriously considering changing wireless service.  And what a process to complain, verizon email must have been toomuch too handle

(removed)  I don't facebook or any of the others.  Maybe your happy to give in to verizon hassle full way to complain.  I will be sending this by U. S. mail as that is the only way in their contact us page.  I think is (removed) for one of the biggest carriers to treat loyal customers with 10+ years.  It is like all companys these days only the new customers get the discounts.  But thanks for the help.https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/817810

    Installed my Photoshop Elements 7 on my new laptop.  Says my serial number is invalid.  Chatted with customer service rep and she says the number should work. What now?

    Hi,
    Did the serial number come from a boxed set and previously installed from disc and are you now trying to install from a download?
    If so, that will not work - the serial numbers are different.
    If you don't have a dvd drive on your new system, perhaps you could get someone to copy your disc to a memory stick and install from that.

    In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
    iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

  • How can I file a complaint against a sales rep and customer service rep? Is there an email address?

    How can I file a complaint against a sales mannlying to me and denying me my employee discount? When I called customer service to inquire and file a complaint the rep told me if I give him the salesmans name he will shake a finger at him next time but that's all that can be done...is this the type of service I pay over 200 dollars a month for? I would like a mangers contact info as this is completely unacceptable.

  • The lies that customer services reps tell you.

    My horrible experience with Verizon customer service today, 3 different representatives completely lied to me and told me 3 different instructions on how to get the new iPhone 6 plus which resulted in me losing my whole day for nothing. Only to have a Verizon customer service supervisor tell me that there was no records of any of my conversations with any of these customer service reps. Needless to say as a customer I am so unhappy with the way I have been treated and  lied to that I don’t even feel safe keeping my service with Verizon. I am afraid and that the next time I call with a question I now have no trust in anything that a Verizon customer service rep tells me. Read the below for details in my awful and exhausting expertise with Verizon today. 
    Today I went down to the Apple store to edge up my phone to the new iPhone 6 Plus. If you are told that you can do this as well think again. I know Apple has restricted when the new phones are available for the cell phone providers but they should have thought of a way for customers to more easily get phones through the Apple store since they don’t have it. To start this story off I had pre ordered the new iPhone 6 plus back in the beginning of September which I was going to have it shipped to the address I was living at. The pre order was not going to make it to me until October 28. Well last week I had to move and needed to change my shipping address. So when I called Verizon they said that they would have to cancel my order and re do it all over again in order to change the address, this sent my shipping date of the pre order back to October 31. I then asked if I were to find the phone at the Apple store sooner could I cancel this order and get it there. I was told that I would be able to go into the Apple store and get the phone if they got it in stock before I received my pre order. This morning I attempted to do exactly that. I called the Apple store to see if they had the iPhone 6 Plus in stock and they did, which has been hard to find lately. I then proceeded and called Verizon to cancel my pre order and ask about how I would go about getting my phone at Apple.  The person I talked to said that when I got to the Apple store and got my phone and before I paid all I need to do was call Verizon back and that they would work out a way to pay my remaining balance on my edge phone. I then drove 20 miles to the Apple store and did what I was told and called Verizon when I got there, they said that what the other person from Verizon said was not true. This new person told me what I had to do now was go to the Verizon store and pay my remaining balance and turn my phone in. Then I would be able to go back to Apple and get the new phone and keep my edge plan. At this point from talking to many people with Verizon and having to re explain what I was try to do, I asked this guy to put a note in my account of what he told me. This way when I got to the store they would know what I was trying to do. So I drove 5 miles back from where I came and got to the Verizon store, not a dealer the actual store, and talked to a sales associate who then told me there wasn’t a way for them to do what the guy on the phone said they could do. I was told by this sales associate and a manager that their system would only let me pay my remaining balance singularity, that the only way their system would let me pay my remaining balance to edge up was if I was getting the phone through them at the Verizon store. This didn’t make any since to me because I was still getting my plan though Verizon just not through that particular store. I began to get a little upset and told the sales associate to call Verizon and ask them what to do because every person I talked to on the phone though Verizon told me that I would be able to get my phone at Apple and edge up. They didn’t call at first instead they kept trying to get it to work though their system. The manager then told me again that they couldn’t do it and I insisted that they call Verizon and figure this out because I have driven so far and canceled my pre order to trade in my phone and now I am being told I cant. The manager then walked away and told his sales associate to call them. After waiting another 20 minutes for Verizon to answer the two associates talked about what I was trying to do and this new person on the phone wanted to talk to me. She made me explain my story all over again what I was told and a what I was trying to do and she said that what the people at Verizon store said was true and that they don’t know what the other people were talking about and that I can’t pay my remaining balance on my phone do I could edge up and get my phone at the Apple store. I told her then why has everyone been telling me I can, she said I don’t know, I told her that wasn’t good enough. By this time I was really upset and started to raise my voice a little bit. I have worked in the customer service industry for over 10 years and I know that when a customer is yelling at you it’s a bit unnerving. So I kept my cool as much as I could and didn’t swear or anything. I merely made my point that this wasn’t right and that I felt much abused as a customer. There is no reason why I should be lied to by more than one person, if I would have known that I couldn’t at first then I would have been just fine waiting until the end of October to get my pre order. Though I got so excited that the Apple store had the phone that I wanted and that Verizon told me I would be able to go down there and get it and then I rushed through my job, skipped lunch and canceled an appointment to do this just to find out I was lied to and sent on a wild goose chase, this just wasn’t right. While I had the latest person on the phone I asked if my calls have been recorded and noted to see if there was any documentation as to what I have been told and she said no there wasn’t, I told her that this was unacceptable from a customer service stand point. So I left the Verizon store really unhappy, upset and empty handed. The impression I got from both the sales associate from the store and this new person on the phone was that they wanted to make sure that the money I would pay for the phone went to them and not someone else. Which is poor customer services ethics. Also I lost my place in line for the pre order and would probably have to wait even longer to get it. So now I am beating if I should just cancel my line and get the phone through a different provider that won’t send me through the ringer when I call customer service. 

    I had the same exact thing happen to me. I can't believe the lies these customer service people are told to tell yiu

  • Customer Service Reps are wholly unqualified to serve customers

    I have been dealing with several issues over the past few weeks and have been given false information on a number of occasions. I was double billed on my checking account asa  result of this incompetence and the lead to believe I could upgrade my phone early up until the actual order was placed and then was told they would call me back and no return call was made. When I contacted customer service about these issues, I was basically told that there was nothing I could do about the situation and when I expressed a wont to switch to another carrier after having a Verizon phone for almost a decade, I was essentially told they were sorry to see me go. No attempt was made to keep my service in any way. It is concerning that I pay my bill on time every month and when I need assistance from customer service, I cannot trust the information I receive there because of being told several false pieces of information over the past several months on various occasions. Overall, I love my Verizon service but the customer support is completely unreliable and I cannot be trusted at this point to actually help me. It is completely worth an ETF to get away from this company as a service provider at this point. Unfortunately, I have to pay in order to get away from Verizon but at this point, I am not being given any other options by Verizon Customer Service. I have a feeling I will get no reply from Verizon regarding this because of their complete lack of respect for their customers and not sure if they will even leave this post on the forum but if so, I encourage anyone that has similar issues to reply so that Verizon sees that their customer service reps need to be better trained as a whole.

    {please keep your posts courteous}
    I have NEVER had a bad experience with CS. Sometimes you need to look in the mirror. Not always, but sometimes.
    You stated on another post that other companies don't have bad customer service. Obviously you have never been with AT&T!

  • All I did was ask a question via email, and a customer service rep cancelled my entire pre-order

    So the other day I emailed bestbuy.ca customer service to ask them a question related to my E3 pre-order. Included in the order was a Ps4 Nyko Type Pad, and I asked if it is possible to cancel this single item in the order, and if it was, to do so. 
    Key to note that included among this E3 pre-order was a PS4 Fall-Out 4: Pip-boy edition, which is now sold out across North America. 
    The customer service rep took it upon himself to play trial and error with this order instead of actually knowing what he was doing and ended up cancelling the entire order and losing me my Pip-Boy Edition. 
    I have been emailing endlessly trying to explain how this is a bigger mistake than they are making it seem and have only gotten responses asking me to do something about it, not Bestbuy fix their mistake.. absolutely terrible customer service. 
    This was the question I asked (a), and the initial response I received (b).
    (a) my initial question
    Is it possible to cancel only one item of this pre-order? I would like to cancel the Nyko Type Pad if possible, but not any of the other items.
    (b) First bestbuy.ca response
    Dear ______,
    Thank you for contacting Best Buy Canada regarding Order # 
    We are sorry but when we tried to cancel the game in the order it doesn't work. When we tried to cancel it in second attempt it does, however your whole order got cancelled. We sincerely apologized for the inconvenience this has caused you.

    Further emails have only received predictable copy and paste responses, explaining that Fallout 4 Pip Boy Edition is out of stock, and to check local stores. Completely ignoring the issue I was raising. 
    My second email
    This is absolutely in excusable and needs to be fixed on your end.
    One of the items in the pre-order that you cancelled has been sold out online almost since it was made available (Fall Out 4: Pip-Boy Edition, Playstation 4). Now that you have cancelled the order I have no way of receiving this item. It is sold out in every location. How is this going to be fixed?
    Second bestbuy.ca response
    Dear ____,
    We have received your email regarding the stock availability of Fall Out 4: Pip-Boy Edition, Playstation 4 on Bestbuy.ca.
    Our website does show this product as ‘Sold Out’.  It is possible that we will receive more stock of this item however we are not sure when as there are no pending purchase orders through the vendor.  As such, we are unable to provide any details as to when we may have stock available for online purchasing.
    Our online inventory is pulled from different inventory than your local store, so provided the item is not a web only item, they may have available stock.  Try using the store stock check (on the Product Detail Page) to view stock availability or contact your local store directly.
    Thank you for choosing Bestbuy.ca
    Sincerely,
    .TA
    Bestbuy.ca
    Great reading comprehension. The email wasnt about the availability of the game, the email was about the mistake made by a customer service rep. And no, no more stock is being made available, as Bethesda has said so. Just a terrible, terrible case of customer service.
    Consider me, a lost, long-time, customer. 

    Very sorry to hear about this ! 
    If you haven't had a resolution to this matter over the weekend, please send me a private message with your order number and contact details. I'd be happy to escalate to our Customer Experience team here. 
    Best, 

  • I have tried to connect and purchase on my iTunes Store, but forgot security questions. Not even Customer service is able to help me. How can I spend the 20 bucks I have on my account now if even the phone assistants can't help me?

    I tried to Purchase on the i Tunes store, but forgot security questions. Not even Customer Service is able to help me. How can I spend the 20 bucks I have on my account now if even the phone assistants can't help me? I can't rememeber any answer to any of mu questions and I can't even register my product (iPod Classic) even though I purchased it 6 months ago. Customer Service held me on the line for 30+ minutes asking me all the time if I rememeber one anwer to my questions (to which I repeatedly said no) and there seems to be no way to circumvent that security system, not even with my second email, also registered on My Itunes. Isn't there any way for me to get those 20 dollars back I already have in your store or at least reset my security questions if I don't rememeber?
    Thank you very much.

    qwerqsr, Please contact 1-800-My-Apple, about this issue. The account security team should be able to assist you. Please have your password and the ability to log into your account via appleid.apple.com.

  • Better Customer Service reps that know what they are doing.

    I recently had the horrible experience of trying to dispute a matter over the phone with a customer service rep, which was a HUGE hassle. I had an easier time looking up the information on the internet and doing it myself because all the reps like to do is transfer from one person to the next without ever answering any questions. Are the reps even trained? It didn't seem like it to me. They were rude and couldn't answer any questions I had which is part of the reason I didn't want verizon in the first place. . . They don't make you feel like you are anything more than a dollar sign

    I have only been with Verizon 1 week. Loving the service itself but the customer reps are not even medicore.  Everytime I call I give the same information to a rep that passes me to another and yet another and I give the same information over and over.  Then I get hung up on and no one calls me back.  I have to then go through the process yet AGAIN.  I try live chat and almost an hour later and giving the same information to that rep repeatedly in the same chat conversation - I am still trying to get the issue resolved.  Come on Verizon get with it.

  • Two customer service reps cannot be wrong? or can they!!!

    I ordered triple play last year as i was getting a better price if I included the TV, I never connected the DVR or TV service as I like my DirecTV NFL package.
    After one year, I noticed that Verizon was charging me 20 dollars for the DVR so I called the customer service and asked If I can just downgrade my service to double play, I was told yes and that price will go down by 25 dollars to around 63 dollars a month.
    I returned my equipment to the local Verizon store, after a week I started getting voice mail messages during day time to my home number that my TV service will get cancelled if I do not call them back, no extension number was provided.
    I called the general customer service number and they said they understand I want to cancel my TV service due to cost of DVR.
    I asked to confirm what my cost will be for double play from now, I was clearly told 63 dollars and some cents.
    One week later I get a bill for more than 100 dollars????
    I have put an order with comcast to provide me services starting next billing cycle, should not be hard to port my number.
    I do not beleive I am upset just because I was charged more but more importantly about being lied to by two of your customer service reps. Is this a coincidence or is it a culture in your company ???

    It looks like your issue may require a Verizon representative to review your account details. Please contact our customer service team via live chat or email at: http://www.verizon.com/contactus
    Choose “Live Chat.”

  • How do I reach the customer service rep that I spoke with

    I recently had a problem with my AT&T bill.  The rep that I spoke with, Latrice Iiland was fantastic. How can I reach here to discuss follow-up? Thanks!

    E61381665 I hope that you are a corporate customer relations person as I cannot explain the total lack of communication/organization/problem understanding-solving of your outsourced phone support staff, which I have experienced to date.  I have spent over 5 hours in phone conversations wihout ever being able to escalate the probelm to a supervisor/manager/customer service person.  It has been like listening to a broken record over and over.   And the fact that there is no customer service phone number in 2015 is a serious concern for an upscale consumer market. My Vaio computer sustained water damage in mid June.  It took 4 days to get an authorization to get a repair.  It is now over a month at Best Buy, and I keep getting updates from Geek Squad.  They have ordered more parts six (6) times now and cannot complete the repair.  At what point will I simply get a replacement/refurb/store credit/refund?  I am a professional consultant and make a living with a laptop while traveling.  A month is unacceptable to wait for a repair when I paid a 20% premium on my purchase at a Sony Store to insure continuity of service.  Please help. Steve Klein

  • Customer service rep to be picked from ship-to

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to pickup the Customer service rep from Ship-to party. As per the SAP standards if the Sold-to party is maintained with partner function, then it will flow in the sales order.
    But one of the Sold-to has around 50 ship-to parties; I would maintain the Customer Service rep in Ship-to party. Please suggest where I need to do the enhancement in Sales order.
    Regards,
    Jagadish

    Hai Jagadish R     ,
    In the sales order standard program, in
    Include          MF02DFEX
    and ask your abaper to Use the order data  in the Sales order header details
    and in the Ship to Party field make the entry of the Customer service rep from Ship-to party.
