Bad Customer service from lenovo

I have the Lenovo yoga 2 13 inch and I pursued extra in home warranty support.I wanted Lenovo to replace my battery of my laptop and they didn't have in stock.I asked if there was any other option to get a faster machine faster in need my machine for college.They transfer my case to a Customer relation manger and they said 3 days they will call me and it was setup on Sunday and today is 5 days and no call every time I call warranty support there claiming they will call me next day and no call. Any moderators from the disscouin board help me or any customer relation manger help plz.

Nitin02,
Welcome to the forum - I really appreciate your taking the time to share your friend's story hear.
I can appreciate that it must be frustrating. Certainly part delays are something we want to avoid.
If the system is overheating there are several possible reasons:
1) The power management software has been removed or corrupted - reinstall it / check settings for balanced power scheme. Does system have these symptoms when running on battery, on AC or both?
2) The fan / heatsink are clogged with dust - clean it with can of compressed air
3) The fan / heatsink are not making good contact with CPU & GPU - check fit, apply new thermal grease & retest
4) Fan / heatsink are defective - replace them
5) System board and / or CPU is defective - test and replace as needed
With these points in mind, it can be time consuming to take a systematic approach - so, perhaps service made intial checks and believed the board was defective. It is possible there could be several different model boards for the system depending on GPU options for example, and maybe the wrong part was ordered?
If so, that is unfortunate, but I'm sure you appreciate that everyone can make a mistake sometimes, right?
Can you please send me a PM with your friend's service case number and contact information? I will escalate the case and see if there is anything that can be done to speed this along.
Best regards,
Mark

Pandora Doesn't Work on Droid X2-Bad Customer Service from Verizon

This probably isn't news for most Droid X2 users, but my husband can't get Pandora to work on his newly purchased Droid X2. What's really frustrating is that we went to our local Verizon store to pick out a phone for my husband because he wanted to listen to Pandora at work & neither one of us was at all familiar with android phones. We told the salesman that we were newbies & asked his advice on which phone to get. This guy(Fred) assured us that he was a pro & he listened to Pandora all the time on his Verizon phone. He specifically recommended that we get the Droid X2 for listening to Pandora. Unfortunately we did as he suggested & signed on. It took my husband way more than the allotted 14 days to familiarize himself with using the Droid, let alone Pandora. By the time he felt comfortable using Pandora on his phone at home (using the WiFi), it was past the 14 day trial period. That was when he discovered that Pandora wasn't working right on his phone without the WiFi. Naturally he assumed he was doing something wrong. Then we checked into the problem online & discovered that the Droid X2 was infamous for not working with Pandora.
We went back to our salesman,Fred, & asked him for help in getting Pandora to work. This went on for a few weeks and eventually he admitted that in fact Pandora doesn't work on the phone he recommended to us for just that use. We assumed that he would help us in upgrading to a phone that would work since he was the one led us astray. That was when he went into standard Verizon mode & told us that our 14 days were up & there was nothing he could - or would- do to help us. So we contacted Verizon directly & were told the same thing.
Is this kind of bad customer service typical of Verizon? I don't understand what the big deal was about not helping us to fix our salesman's mistake. If we'd made this mistake on our own, I could see Verizon telling us that we were stuck. But we told them we were newbies & asked for their help.
I'm really disappointed because I bought this phone for my husband so he could enjoy Pandora at work. And now he's stuck with 2 years of making do with other services & hoping that maybe Pandora will help him out. Does anybody have any suggestions as to anything we can do to make this sorry situation work? Thanks.

T400 or not T400 or terrible customer service from Lenovo

Why doesn't lenovo ever think about consumer?
Why do I have to select E6400 instead of T400 when I really want T400?
Why Lenovo Customer service does not care about customers...
Please read my case on:
http://lenovo.pissedconsumer.com/lenovo-15-restocking-fee-on-wrong-notebook-20081019140035.html
I plan to publish this on PissedConsumer and in 1 week on RipOffReport, ComplaintsBoard and My3Cents.

Asyrov, welcome to the forum,
it is clear that you seem to be unhappy about something regarding an order you placed, what is not clear is what you are unhappy about. You do not state what exactly had changed in the configuration to make you so unhappy, just that you are unhappy about something.
It would be helpfull if you could maybe provide a little more detail and then members will be able to offer advice according to their experiences.
If I understand it all correctly, you ordered a system with shared graphic but have now realised you require discrete graphic?
Thanks in advance

Very bad customer service!

I am a photographer and in June 2013 I decided to join the newly launched Creative Cloud single application subscription program for Photoshop CC.
At the same time I purchased a Lightroom standard license (Lightroom was not available on the Creative Cloud at that time).
The monthly price for Photoshop CC with a one year commitment was 24,59 Eur for Europe (I live in Czech Republic). I didn’t quite understand how that translates from the 19,99 USD of the US subscription, but fair enough Adobe is not a charity and they have the right to decide to charge what they want for their products. Plus the subscription prices were clearly showed on their website, so I decided to join anyway.
Honestly I was very happy both with Photoshop and Lightroom and I think they are two fantastic pieces of software so I didn’t mind the price I paid for them.
Then a few months after I get a call from my bank saying that my card has been blocked because it might have been compromised following some online payments I made. And after a little research I find out that (citing the Adobe website) “Very recently, Adobe’s security team discovered sophisticated attacks on our network, involving the illegal access of customer information as well as source code for numerous Adobe products. We believe these attacks may be related.
Our investigation currently indicates that the attackers accessed Adobe customer IDs and encrypted passwords on our systems. We also believe the attackers removed from our systems certain information relating to 2.9 million Adobe customers, including customer names, encrypted credit or debit card numbers, expiration dates, and other information relating to customer orders.
Great, now I am for two weeks without card while my bank gets me a new one (they are not that fast in Czech Republic).
Fortunately I also read online that (citing the Adobe website) ”Adobe is also offering customers, whose credit or debit card information was involved, the option of enrolling in a one-year complimentary credit monitoring membership where available.”.
Honestly I misunderstood that as a one year complimentary Creative Cloud membership and I thought that was very nice of Adobe, they didn’t have to do it, and to me it showed an effort to say “we are sorry” and to try to retain their customers’ trust.
Some time passes and I am obviously still getting charged monthly for my subscription.
So I contact Adobe through the online chat…..turns out that I am not eligible for the one year complimentary subscription (none of the agents actually explained to me that I had misunderstood the offer) but after a bit of complaining and waiting online I get offered a one month complimentary subscription!?!?!.
You can make up your own mind on how to interpret that but to me that meant that Adobe recognized their responsibility but tried everything possible to get rid of me with the minimum possible.
The guy on the chat however said that if I am not satisfied I can ask him to escalate.
I do so and he tells me that I will be contacted within 2-3 business days.
A week after I have not been contacted yet, so I call the support again and I am told that they are very sorry for not getting back to me and I will be (again) contacted within 2-3 business days.
TWO weeks after that chat I finally get a mail from Adobe, which is now offering me 2 months complimentary subscription.
I realize I better take what they give me so I reluctantly accept.
Not even a week after that, I realized that Adobe launched a new Photoshop Photography program where they give the Photoshop CC license + Lightroom 5 for 9.99 USD or 12.29 Eur with a yearly commitment. This is half what I pay now, not even considering the one off Lightroom 5 license that I already paid (129.15 Eur). The special offer expires on the 2nd December (less than a week from now at the time of writing this).
The good news is that existing CC subscribers can ask to transfer to this program for free.
So I contact the Adobe support again and they happily confirm that I can switch to the new program.
BUT I would lose the 2 free months as they cannot be transferred to the new program because it is already discounted.
I spend a good deal of effort explaining that the 2 free months are not a discount but are a compensation for me being without card for 2 weeks so I should be able to retain them, but the support person on the other side of the chat just politely dismisses every argument.
I understand that Adobe did not have to allow existing subscriptions to transfer to the new offer for free, I purchased a service and then a few months after the price went down, fair enough this happens.
If the price went up on the other end I would have still kept my original price.
However what infuriates me is that since any existing subscriber can join the cheaper offer, Adobe has actually penalized me in front of all the other customers and the reason why they have penalized me is that my data have been compromised on their servers.
You draw your own conclusions but to me this is very bad customer service.

This is the transcript of the conversation I had with your colleague over the support chat, then unfortunately my connection dropped and I lost him:
Saka: Hi Francesco.
Francesco: Hello
Saka: I have received your initial question. I'll be glad to check and help you with this.
Francesco: thank you
Saka: Sorry for the wait. Please do stay online.
Francesco: ok
Saka: Francesco, I have checked and see that we have issued 2 months free for the subscription Nov 21, 2013. Your next billing date is on 27.2.2014.
Francesco: but I have already been billed on 02.12
Saka: I'll be right with you.
Saka: Are you referring to Clenství ve službe Creative Cloud s jednou aplikací pro Photoshop (rocní) or Program na úpravu fotografií Photoshop (Pro vlastníky licence k produktu CS3 a novejší)?
Francesco: the first one should have been canceled, the second one has been activated
Francesco: with the 2 months free of charge added to it
Saka: Yes, the first subscription has been cancelled.
Francesco: I have been bulled only 12.29 Eur so it is for the second subscription
Francesco: the first one was 24.99 Eur I think
Saka: Yes, you have been charged € 12,29 for the new order Program na úpravu fotografií Photoshop (Pro vlastníky licence k produktu CS3 a novejší).
Saka: You can continue using the subscription without any issues.
Francesco: so where are the 2 months free of charge?
Saka: We have provided 2 months for your Clenství ve službe Creative Cloud s jednou aplikací pro Photoshop (rocní).
Francesco: those have been transferred on the Program na úpravu fotografií Photoshop (Pro vlastníky licence k produktu CS3 a novejší)
Francesco: as confirmed by your colleague and by the mail I received
Francesco: This is the mail confirmation
Francesco: Užívejte si našich služeb o něco déle Bezplatně jsme prodloužili vaše předplatné produktu Program na úpravu fotografií Photoshop (Pro vlastníky licence k produktu CS3 a novější) o několik dalších dnů (62). Nové datum pro obnovu předplatného je nyní 26-únor-2014 (PT). Děkujeme, že jste si předplatili náš produkt! Tým služby Creative Cloud
Francesco: Which confirms that the next billing date for Program na úpravu fotografií Photoshop (Pro vlastníky licence k produktu CS3 a novější) is 26/2/2014
Saka: Francesco, we have provided 2 months free only if you are willing to continue subscription till the commitment date. The order gets cancelled since you have purchased for Program na úpravu fotografií Photoshop (Pro vlastníky licence k produktu CS3 a novejší) at lower rate.

I am sick of the bad customer service

I called to set up new service. I had to use my grandson's phone (personal cell phone) who happens to work for AT&T, and these people refused to help me. He was in the other rooom doing school work while I was on the phone with the company to try and set up service. They are not very helpful when it comes to trying to set up a new account. You try to bring your number from another carrier, they transfer you, and you get transferred to another department after you give them your SSN and then it makes you feel as if your information has been stolen.

If I have to keep putting up with bad service with phone service, then I will not stay with who I am with, and I will not try using AT&T service. It seems as if when I have to use my grandson's my personal phone I could get him in trouble when I have to get ugly with these people for not listening to me, and then they decide to talk over you when you are talking, and I am not happy because it is bad customer service. Someone needs to do something about the employees. My grandson has told me that if I have to start writing down employee names and ID numbers and start reporting them, because it seems like this company does not take the concerns of the customers to the caring level, and when you are a new customer, they don't want to help you.

Complaint BAD customer service experience in Hong Kong

I would like to complaint a Apple staff called “Andrew” who worked in Festival Walk Apple retail store in Hong Kong resulting in my wife cannot buy the iPhone reserved within the timeslot provided.
My wife successfully reserved two iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Gold with timeslot 12pm to 1pm (Lunch time period) on 13 Oct 2014 at Festival Walk Apple retail Store in Hong Kong. She queue and waits for assistance. Bearing in mind two different members of staff approached her and said there was a 20/25 min wait. It is fine to wait for 20-25min. But after 20 min later, she asked the Apple staff again to confirm how long she needs to wait for and ask if she whether took the iPhone few hours earlier and later. This is because the she needs back to work.
She asked the apple staff called “Andrew”, he raised his voice and told her that she need to wait now and cannot take the two iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Gold earlier and later. He also said if she would like to take the iPhone earlier, she needed to ask everyone in the queue to confirm if she allows taking the iPhone first. How come the staff response to her like that. My wife needed back to work finally and cannot buy the iPhone reserved!
At first, time management is very bad in Festival Walk Apple Retail Store in Hong Kong is very worst. Why my wife cannot buy the iPhone within the timeslot provided.
Secondly, Apple Staff attitude is very ridiculous. My wife just enquired the staff politely. But how come the staff replied her like that. How come Apple hired a rude staff likes “Andrew” in Festival Walk Apple Retail Store in Hong Kong. He was very rude, impolite to her. What’s going on. The staffs never polite and I can tell you if we treated our customers like that where I worked we would have been fired immediately!!
Does Apple Company provide any training to the staff? My wife and I doubt that any training provided to the staff. Apple customer service is terrible, he really don't care about helping you with a problem.
Apple is a big company over the world. Apple staff is the most arrogant group of people we will ever meet. They provide such worst customer service experience. It is absolutely unbelievable and unacceptable. Great service offers a unique opportunity for businesses that are willing to invest in a memorable customer experience – they can ot-support the competition. But I cannot find any great customer experience in this Apple Retail Store. Please note that Bad customer service is totally affect company reputation. I did complaint those staff “Andrew” on the same day. But there is no any feedback and response from the Festival Walk Shop Manager or Apple representative. It's an absolute disgrace and I wonder why apple don't have a complaint department!

<< Personal comments removed >>
You get to the store ~30 minutes before closing time, your card is declined for insufficient funds, you are told there isn't enough time to go to your bank in order to deposit more funds and return in time to finish the transaction and are surprised when they don't agree to finish the transaction when you return AT closing time?
Glad you finally got your phone, but I too see no reason for an apology from Verizon. Maybe checking to make sure you have the funds to cover the expenditure next time would be wise. You have a smartphone, possibly adding an app to make the funds transfer electronically would have even kept you in the store while you made the additional deposit/transfer. Better planning on your part would have prevented ALL of this.

Bad Customer Service - no solution for Trial Version for CC install

Hi,
I'm having problems to install my CC apps, since I`m having the issue on the apps keep asking for a serial number.
I already tried all the solutions that I found on the foruns: delete cache, install using English International as my preferences on Adobe Manager App, etc etc
That is only happening on my PC with Windows 7. On My Macbook Pro everything is working fine.
Well, today I tried the Chat option from Adobe Customer service, and after I spend a long time with them, they just dropped the connections when they doint have
anyother solution for me.
It waa bad experience from Adobe.
At least I still have some time to cancell my CC signature If I dont get this solved on the next days.

If you don't get any help at this link then I have to agree that it is a bad Customer Service:
<http://forums.adobe.com/community/creative_cloud>
There's nothing you can do because Adobe in their wisdom decided to have these forums so that unpaid volunteers can help customers in exchange for worthless title called MVP.
They also have a call Center in India where the staff are paid huge amounts (thousands of rupees per month) to help you.

PLEASE READ - Awful Customer Service from both Sky and BT

For several weeks or more my broadband connection has been dropping off completely literally whenever it wants. There is no pattern, specific times or any clues as to why it does this whatsoever. We first moved to the area I currently live in back in November'14 and there had been a couple of issues in the area causing broadband to go down. So we assumed the connection dropping was because of similar issues but it just kept happening so enough was enough, time to call sky. So the teach advisor does a line test which comes back fine and confirms the connection has dropped many times by looking at the history just as I said. They then do a 24 hour line test where they were supposed to call me back with the results, you guessed right....they didn't. So of course I was back on the phone to them, they confirmed the connection coming into the home was perfect. They then ask a number of standard questions regarding the setup and connection socket. We established the connection socket was an old one and 'not' a test connection socket. The advisor then tells me their booking a BT Openreach Engineer because the socket will need changing for the Sky Engineer to test the connection. I also asked "Do you think it could be the router", the advsor replied "I wouldn't put my money on it". This was great of course, already onto fixing it I thought. So the day of the appointment comes and low and behold it's a SKY Engineer at the door NOT a BT Engineer even after establishing over the phone he wouldn't be able to test the connection because of the old socket. He knew nothing about the issue & my perfect working router was changed to a brand new one along with the microfilter etc, which was fair enough because I ended up with a new one. Amusingly I couldn't keep my old one as a back up....jobsworth, this was of course SKY guessing & hoping it would resolve the issue even if it is the first thing to do they were wasting my time because they 'knew' the connection socket wasn't a test one. He said if it still continues then to call SKY and tell them a BT Engineeer will need to fit a Test Connection socket as we knew anyway. IMO this was unbelievable because regardless of this being their procedure I was given the wrong advice from a so called proffesional Tech advisor and they could have sent a new router in the post as well as booking a BT Engineer = waste of my time. I finally got an appointment with a BT Line Engineer who turned up knowing nothing about the issue, he did a copper wire test and it come back perfect, he said he's never seen a connection so fast. The Exchange is literally around the corner hence the connection is so fast. He said as the copper wire test was perfect that's him done now but he will change the connection socket to a test one. Whilst fitting it he said it could be the socket as it's old & the connection might not be filtering through properly. Once fitted it dropped & connected again 5 times or more in front of his very eyes, nothing more he could personally do. When the line engineer was originally booked Sky's advisor also booked a call from their technical support (higher up) to call me in the afternoon after the engineer had been to see if had been fixed etc. I confirmed the connection had dropped after the new socket was fitted so this completely rules that out. Due to the history of the connection dropping before my original call, Sky's checks and a new socket of course it's time to book a Broadband Engineer. So the lady says "we've established there is no problems within the home so it must be between the home and the exchange so the last thing to do is book a BT broadband enginner". She says "I'll put you on hold a minute whilst I see what appointments we can get". To me astonishement she says they need to collect some more data and will call back in the morning at 9:30am. So she calls me back and says they are not going to book an enginner because I have been connected for more than 16 hours now. Well that nearly made me choke in disgust and shock simply because their log history of the connection dropping confirms I have gone much longer connected. Not just that but it dropped 5+ times after the new socket was fitted and in front of the enginner that changed it. So if that isn't an advisor not giving a dam about the customer and attempting to save SKY money I dream that just happened. As you can imagine I told her what a joke that was and hung up the phone, absolutely ridiculous and I am sure the majority of SKY employees would agree. The next day just as I knew it would the connection started dropping again as & when it likes, random as usual. So they actually book a BT Boradband Engineer this time, finally. So the engineer arives once again knowing nothing about the job making him the 3rd person to arrive in the dark about the job. He believed the problem was SKY trying to speed up everyone's broadband for a number of months now even if there was only a meg in it. Because of this apparently my dsl noise-margin was set at 3 and that was too low. So after discussing noise margins with me he went back to the exchange, called SKY who agreed 3 was too low and changed it to 6. He called back and advised me it should be OK now and to give it 10 days for the line to settle. Rather than running at a fragile 24meg it would be a steady 16 now he said, which I could cope with as long as it didn't keep dropping off. Later that day my connection starts dropping again and I knew full well this has nothing to do with allowing the line to settle. So the SKY advisor goes through the notes that the engineer had made, he mentioned everything we spoke about apart from something that shocked me. He has put down that he couldn't do an Earth *something* test because there was young children about. To my amazement not once did he mention that and if he had my partner could have took them upstairs. However that was that and another Broadband Engineer was booked. He turns up making him the 4th person that knows nothing about the job so after expaining the issue he seems very enthusiastic about the job itself so that was confident. After doing the same tests as the 1st 'broadband' engineer he can't find any issues either, so he climbs the pole 50 metres away from the house. He took it apart, cleared a bit of corrosion but nothing unusual. Then he tells me he'll get SKY to monitor the conection, he has another job to go to annd he'll call back at 3. It got to 5pm and still no call or knock at the door so I called SKY who's customer solutions contact BT who say the the issue has been put down as 'resolved'. I confirmed my connection hadn't dropped since so I left it at that. Because I wasn't at all confident it was fixed it was fixed I kept joking with my partner by saying "Resolved" every so often because of the engineer not calling back and the stress it has caused. Surprise, surprise, the connection drops again the same evening at just gone 7pm (Saturday) so I am straight back on the phone to SKY. Having to explain everything again he puts me on hold to discuss it with a colleague. They put all the notes from every case into a new one as previous one's have been closed as the engineer's claimed 'reolved' when obviously it wasn't. He explained that it is being 'Viper' escalated now as a complaint to BT because they have given 2 frontline Engineers to rectify the problem & they haven't. So they booked a more 'senior' engineer to come out. SKY advised he will be given all the notes from the case & when they get confirmation of the appointment they receive a reference. SKY then contact BT with that reference and explain everything verbally as well. Whilst booking the appointment & speaking with me the broadband connection goes and so the does the landline so we get cut off. This happens everytime they book and engineer. and 2/5 advisors haven't bothered calling me back to contine the conversation, this guy was the 2nd NOT to call me back. The day of the appointment arrives and because I wasn't called back & received no confirmation I call SKY to confirm who do just that. I decided to discuss more discount with this advisor because I had only previously received a small amount because BT Engineers keep putting the case down as resolved. On the Saturday the advisor offensively offered 65p because he does as the computer tells him....pat on the back for him. Thankfully the lady advisor this time was more understanding and applied £20 which was at least something. She also said she would speak with her manager and call be back in the morning with some offers as an apolgy because the enginner would have been out and fixed the issue by then. I was also advised it's the last thing that could try as he is a 'senior engineer'. The so called 'Senior' BT Broadband Engineer arrives and regardless of what SKY told me about it being 'Viper' or 'Hyper' escalated he was also pretty much in the dark. Well as you can imagine that is just the icing on the cake, lost for words. Anyway, he does his tests & says "Sounds like all they've done so far is climb a pole". So he climbs the pole & replaces the cable from the pole to the exchange still confirming everything is fine. There is nothing more he can do and says I will need to call them if it happens again and say "What do you want to do"....shocking to the least. He put in his notes/suggestions to SKY; should it happen again, replace the equipment at the exchange or book another type of engineer. I NEVER got a all back the following morning from the advisor that said she would call back with offers even though she said "I always make my call backs"..........looks that way. Of course the connection drops once again, this time when I call & after having to explain literally everything again I get put through to 2nd tier techincal support (something like that). The lady explains that she needs to book a BT REIN Engineer, this was definitely what she said as I asked how it was spelt and since googled it too for an understanding. She said she would normally take my case on because of everything I have gone through & it would mean not having to explain it everytime but she is going on holiday and not back until September. She apologised a number of times on behalf of SKY and arranged a call back on 6th September (I think) to discount me further as an apology. So apparently the REIN Engineer is booked, she told me to unscrew the connection socked and plug the microfiliter directly into the test part of the socket. Whilst she's putting the appointment through the landline goes off which we were taling on as well as the broadband connection going off. When she called back she assumed I was doing the connection socket whilst on the phone to her. Absolutely not, so I explaine that evertime an appointment is booked with BT this happens. A previous advisor told me that BT does and automatic line test upon booking which is why the landline & broadband drop. She was absolutely adament that this shouldn't happen but that was that & the appointment booked. The Engineer turned up and would you believe it wasn't until I started chatting with him and he'd already started tests that he realised I was expecting a REIN Engineer. He then told me that SKY cannot raise a REIN Engineer they have to (Broadband Engineers) & there's only 2 in the whole of North *my area*. Well again, what do you do but laugh or cry?, I went for the laugh where my blood was boiling. He also said that there is no 'Senior' engineer as such and also said "If he put in his notes about changing the equipment at the exchange, why didn't here"....exactly. So the Broadband Engineer goes back to the exhange calls SKY who allow him to change the equipment & calls me back advising it's all up & running. I aksed "If it happens again is there anyone I can call directly", he replies; "I don't know, we have a number specifically for BT and I just spoke to someone called Chris who doesn't think it's REIN *Facepalm* . This BT Engineer actually did his job properly but for SKY to say "I don't think it REIN after all that is well......lost for words. If I have missed anything out of all this mess I guarantee if it's not incorrect spellings & grammat it's just more awful, awful customer service from both BT & SKY whom are business patners lol. So SKY.....Is the Issue fixed?What was it?Where's my further discount?What offers you got as an apology? bear in mind I already pay around £80 per month for everything after call charges. So after this shambles I hope it's FREE. Oh and what are the odds on someone calling me? because evertime I get through it's luck of the draw & most of the time it's BAD LUCK. Although I have already spent literally hours on the phone to you I am glad I have got this on the net now as it will know become common knowledge. I have also kept a personal copy in case the Thread is removed. Regards.

Thanks for the info and of course the understanding, althought I am sure someone official browses it now & again my main aim was to get this out there. I had an issue a while ago with EA sports regarding their FIFA 15 game, to cut along story short I was incorrectly banned from their servers for apparently botting so I couldn't play online. Their customer service was diabolical, pretty much on par with this. After some research I found out they were the voted the worse company in the states so that said it all. After being passed from advisor to supervisor to manager and back again everything fell on death ears. So through Google I found as many sites & email addresses as possible and posted/sent my argument. It got as far as the EA president where it was all sorted and I was heavily compensated. If I hadn't of done that though I'd still be banned from their servers. Will do exactly the same with this case, as everthing goes throught to someone as SKY in the UK it should be a dam sight easier than getting a reply from EA Canada etc.

Contract mis-sold. Terrible customer service from a supervisor-no clear way to make a complaint

After being a good customer for a year and a Verizon Wireless customer for 5 years, numerous issues with Verizon Fios have surfaced.
1) Representative totally mis-informed about the contract
When I took out a contract with Verizon FIos a year ago, I had not wanted to have a contract because they only option available was for 2 years and I knew that the lease for my apartment was only for 1 year and in all likliehood I would be moving. I was told by the representative that there would be no problem if I took out a 2 year contract because I could simply transfer the existing contract to wherever I moved with no issue.
Fastforward a year and I'm moving, call Verizon to make the transfer and i"m told, that actually i'm effectively cancelling my existing contract and re-starting as a new customer. This means that my bundle has gone up $10 a month and I would have to start another 2 year contract.This completely contradicts what I was told a year ago. I would never have taken out the 2 year contract if I had known this.
2) Terrible customer service from someone who is a supervisor
This morning I spoke to a representative and after she said she couldnt address my concerns about being mis-sold the contract, I asked to speak with a supervisor. How he handled the call was incredibly unhelpful and rude - I dont understand how someone at a supervisor level can have that kind of attitude. First he tried to indicate that it was my fault for not being clear with the representative last year (before he knew the full facts), he did not take show any recognition that being mis-informed about a contract is a significant issue. When I asked him how to make a complaint he told me to go to verizon.com/contact. I did this while I was on the phone with him and told him that there was no clear way to make a complaint, I was told "I am a supervisor, I cant sit here on the phone with you and take you through it step by step" - I was not asking for step by step help, I assumed that as a supervisor he would know which wa the right section to click on. He then basically made it sound like I was an idiot and I was told that every other customer seems to find it intuitive (which judging by other comments on this forum about the contact piece of the site is not actually true).
3) Impossible to file an official complaint through normal channels
There is no email address to which you can send a complaint (according to the team on the phone). On the verizon.com/contact page, there is no option for making a complaint. When you type in a question about making a complaint nothing comes up. This seems ridiculous and makes it seem like Verizon is not interested in hearing customers feedback.

Terrible customer service from Brendan at Telstra Bourke St Melbourne

Hi All,
Just thought I would ask your advice concerning repairs to my Iphone I requested from Telstra.
The phone is great and I love it, my only problem is that it no longer turns on anymore.
I took it to the shop where I bought it on (yep I lined up to buy it the day they were released ), the really flashy Telstra shop in the Bourke Street Mall. I got one of the techs on the front desk to look at it. He then took it to the head tech guy and he came back and said they would not repair or replace the phone under warranty. He said that it had a 'disturbed liquid submersion indicator at the bottom'.
I have never droped it into water the whole time I have owned it, but I do travel overseas to humid areas so that may have set off the 'submersion indicator' to make the techs think that I dropped it into a puddle when I have never done that.
Obviously, its a real pain, not having a phone for even a day, so I asked what my options were. I was told that the 'apple warranty is void and repair/exchange can not be carried out and the replacement cost for an 8gb for $670'.
The quotes above are from what is typed on my Service Repair Order.
I asked was it possible to send the phone to Apple to be inspected, and they advised that it was not, and that my only option was to purchase a new phone, and that I had two options. Firstly, if I surrendered my old phone, a replacement would be issued for $670. Secondly, I could simply purchase another iphone 'outright' for a cost of $726.
I tool the second option, and have a brand new phone, although I am disapointed that I now have an almost new phone that simply stopped working that is now used as a paperweight.
I tried everything to minimise the cost of getting a working iphone, and after talking to the lead tech, he then got the store manager to discuss my options.
Brendan said he was the store manager, and eventually let me know his name after first stating 'I dont have to give you my name' and eventually told me his employee number was 0238895.
He spent over an hour checking the situation while I waited, but would not put anything in writing except some notes in the section related to the 'reported problem' on the Service Repair Order.
Is the advice that Brendan from Telstra gave me correct, and was it necessary for me to purchase another brand new handset for $726?
If anyone has any questions I can be contacted on <Edited by: Host>
Kind regards
Wayne B

See the response that I provided to Tamara regarding the recent change to the policy.
You might want to print the new version of the policy and bring your receipt and go back to Telstra and see if they will consider an adjustment, i.e. you return your brand new iPhone, they swap it for a refurbished iPhone and credit you with the difference in price.
I actually fail to see where you received "Terrible customer service from Brendan" as stated in your title.

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE IN NEWNAN

We had very bad customer service at the NEWNAN, GA BEST BUY. I purchased a notebook with a defective part. Returned the netbook back to the store. Geek Squad looked at it and said the hard drive was defective. They would not do anything except after arguing with us finally offered to send it off for repair. We declined becuase my in laws sent a laptop off to be repaired and ended up paying just as much for the repair and they paid for the computer. This was after they were told they would not pay for anything. Also, were only told they had to pay once the computer was sent off and could not get it back until they paid. $300 LATER THE COMPUTER WAS STILL BROKEN! We were lied to and pused around by everyone we talked to. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there and welcome to the Community. What brand of laptop are we talking about and when was it purchased?

Laughably bad customer service

The experience:
11 month old Yoga 13 - love the computer overall
Knocked it off the table last night, freaked out, picked it up, not too bad! Broke the middle piece of the DC-in jack, but was able to make it work in the meantime. Simple, cheap part, and a relatively simple fix so I figure I dodged a bullet.
The trouble begins!
1. Call the Lenovo authorized service provider (per lenovo.com) in my area. They stopped servicing Lenovos two years ago, but the website never gets updated.
2. Call the next closest authorized service center (2 hours away from me).
Them: "We only service Think- systems."
Me: "No big deal, this isn't covered by warranty anyway, but can you help me get the part?"
Them: "Best bet is to try eBay."
Me: "Um, is that trustworthy?"
Them: "Yeah, most of the time."
Oh, here we go.
3. Search for part online, find Lenovospareparts.com!!! They're official and authorized! Website says to call since the site won't be updated after Nov 2013 (this is the official parts site?). Okay, I call.
Before even asking for the part number they want my name, email, cell phone number, alternate phone number, and mailing address. Annoying, but they'll surely have the part since this is Lenovo's official number, so I give them all of the info. Finally, he asks for part number -
Lenovo Rep: "Oh, for the Yogas we don't usually have parts in stock, but I'll check." (I get a feeling for how this will go.) "Nope, we don't have it. I can put in a request but that usually takes two months or more."
Me: "I don't understand how you don't have the part. The computer is less than a year old."
Rep: "Yessir, we can repair it for you for a fee."
Me: "Sure, I realize this isn't covered by warranty and there's a fee, but how long would that take?"
Rep: "About a week after we receive it from you. It'll be an $80 deposit to start." (The part itself is only ~$10)
Me: "So you have the part to fix it if I pay you, but you don't have the part to sell to me even though I'm more than capable?"
Rep: "Yessir, while you may be capable, Lenovo doesn't want customers fixing their own computers as it might mess things up and would void the warranty." (The warranty only has about two weeks left on it, so by the time I get it back from them it'll be out of warranty anyway, and to reitterate, this isn't covered by warranty anyway!)
Me: "This is very frustrating and ridiculous, but I realize you're not the one responsible, so thank you for your help." (I worked customer service for years and realize he's just the front line guy, not the one making decisions - no ill will towards him.)
TL;DR: Lenovo site full of bad info. Closest Lenovo authorized service center won't service my 11-month old Yoga, suggest I look on eBay for parts. Lenovo themselves will take two months to find the part for me to buy, but will have the part in a week if I pay them to fix it. Now I'm off to eBay.
I hate Dell as a rule, but the fact they're just down the road and there are parts galore mean I'm going to have to consider them now for computer purchases where I work. I love this Yoga, and wanted to price similar systems for my staff, but I can't risk having to deal with this on a regular basis.

HT1933 battery issues and customer services from apple store

I have been a iphone user since january 2013. i have found some issues with the battery of my iphone 5 and booked appointment several times to report to it. the problem was battery dies unexpectedly, for example it dies when it shows even arround 20% remaining sometimes. every times i have made checked it with genius bar the found no problem using there diagnostic system. On 22 december 2013 again i have done some diagnostic test with apple genius bar and they reformat everything and said problem will be solved. however again on 24 december i had to take my phone to genius bar as they problem was still there and it was died suddenly even there were more than 20% charge remaining. Then i got to the stratford apple store and showed my phone to one of the manager named Harnson. i have showed the dead phone and describe him the situation. he tried to switch it on and found that it shows no battery is low as 2% and need to charge. then he take me to genius bar to diagnostic the phone again. in the genius bar when his colleague has switched it on then it showed 24% charge remaining. then i explain that this device has no reliability. it doesn't show the actual percentage. it was 2% few minutes ago and died and now it is showing 24% without any charging. then he diagnostic it again and found no problem....
he replied to me your phone is perfectly find according to the diagnostic report. so they can not do anything about it. i was so much frustrated about the whole service. the staff at the bar was so muuuuuuchhhhh unfriendly and unhelpful. later he talked to one of his colleague and suggested me to pay 100 pound or something to replace with a new phone..
i felt so bad and i was not expect this sort of service from the world famous apple company.. staffs attitude are genuinely very bad and arrogant.
1. how can i prove that there are some problem with the battery. even they have seen that it turns from 2% to 24% without charging. the device is a fault since i bought it. but as it is not showing in the diagnostic test the refused to take any action about it.
2. bad attitude and arrogant staff made me feel even worst.
please note that this staff are nice with white people and im an asian. is that can be a reason of having bad services from apple?????????????

no they gave me a new 3g 16 gig, i did ask for a 3gs....it is like for like when it comes to replacing....but i think i was pushing my, luck, but im very happy not to have paid the 139 quid, so a happy customer I am, my problem was that i was out of warranty, i did not take out the extra protection warranty ( silly yes, leason learnt... i hope so )
It was the guy who served me who was fantastic, i cannot fault him, he did not have to wave the extra monies, but he said that i seemed genuine, and the fact i did not jail brake my phone or want to, even know he prompted me to as a suggestion , maybe just maybe this all worked in my favour and the result is i have an iphone that works..... Now my issue is with O2 my telco carrier in the UK, as of Nov this year, O2 pay and go customers are in-titled to have there phones unlocked if they have had there phones for more than 12 months. My phone is 15 months old(all with O2) , so an unlock i can get, but because i have a "replacement phone", the imei number is different to what my initial phone was, they are saying i have to wait another 12 months.... I got a SMS message from O2 today that my unlock application was unsuccessful ..... because i have a different IMEI number to which i started with..... just when u think it is easy...WHAM .... so i have to take on O2 now, more phone calls etc...... Any suggestions anyone, has this happened to anyone you know ?
Cheers
