Charged for no service - STAY AWAY FROM BT THEY AR...

Ok so I decided to sign up for BT Infinity and tv package with BT sports in January. Was due to be installed on 23/01/2015.
I booked a half day off work for the installation and was impressed when the landline engineer called at 1.30pm. He told me that he was only doing the landline and another engineer would probably be out to do the TV.
Landline engineer worked away on the line and about 2.00pm I had a call from the TV engineer to say there was a fault in the line so would not be installing my tv. When I asked when he could install it he just said I don't know. From his attitude I could tell he wasn't bothered it was a Friday after noon so he just wanted to go home.
I was really annoyed with this as I had picked the Friday specifically and waited 3 weeks for installation for that Friday. I rang BT and asked them what was happening, I asked if he could come out on a Saturday to install the TV but I was told no they dont do Saturday installations. So I decided I wasnt going to go ahead with my installation and cancelled my order.
I was told to tell the landline engineer to leave as I was cancelling. I spoke to landline engineer and told him what I was doing. He then said he would speak to them as he was at the box the same time as the TV engineer and he didnt see any fault. The engineer spoke to customer services and told them I was cancelling my order.
As far as I was concerned that was it. My order was cancelled I was getting my refund of £90.71 and I would receive a bag to send the equipment back.
In February I received a bill for £22.41, I rang customer services as I still hadn't received my £90.71 and now they were billing me for a service I didn't ever have.
Result of call I got my £90.51 back and heard no more, great I thought that was easily sorted.
Wrong in March I got a final reminder for payment of £22.41, again I rang the lovely people in customer service and spoke to a very confused man who kept asking why I was being billed, this I thought was very amusing as that was my question to him. He said leave it with him and he would call my number back in 30 minutes. Guess what 30 minutes no call.
In my stupidity I assumed it had been sorted.
Last week I get a message from BPO to say ring this number immediately regarding BT. I rang the number and was put through to the most arrogant and ignorant woman I have ever had the misfortune to speak to.
I tried to explain my situation but she kept talking over me and in the end she said tough I was being billed for BT Sports as this should have been cancelled seperately. I told her noone ever explained that to me in all my communications with BT and she wasnt interested just advised me to pay up.
So today I rang BT to ask why this had gone to collections and what was my bill of £22.41 for. The nice lady told me she would look into it and transferred me to another nice lady. The 2nd nice lady said I should have contacted them before today!! I said I did and nothing happened. She explained that the £22.41 was for my landline charge. When I said I cancelled the day of the connection she said I needed to ring the nice people in BPO again as there was nothing she could do.
So now I have an outstanding bill of £22.41 plus admin fees of £5.60 from BT for nothing. BT think I just need to pay it and go away. Well as you can imagine I am fuming.
DO NOT USE BT AS THEY ARE THIEVES.

  • N200, buggy as hell. For those looking for an MP3, stay away from Creati

    I have already encountered the same two bug twice. It works after reformating the whole thing, but after pressing some volume buttons (by the way, my minus volume button gets stuck sometimes) the folders gets messed up. I have the most recent firmware. N200 is a really, REALLY bad product. Dont forget to mention the sound it makes when backlit is on, it is damaging to the ears.

  • Are you a Veteran? Stay away from Verizon!

    If you are veteran hoping to get a 15% discount from Verizon then stay the heck away. You won't get it. Go with AT&T who will give it to you. I'm regretting switching over.
    Went into official Verizon store with DD214 in hand. Verizon agent scanned document, assured me I would get the 15% discount on my plan immediately. I actually asked two more times just to be sure. She assured me each time. Verizon site says I am verified.
    First bill came, no discount. I called Verizon and they said it can take 30 days. Upset me a bit but I waited.
    Second bill came, no discount. Chatted with a Verizon representative who said my plan is not eligible. I checked my plan details. Nothing written there about it being in-eligible. Checked the Veteran Discount FAQ and it specifically states: Note: some plans and features are not eligible for discounts and that limitation will be called out in the plan details. However, my plan details say nothing of the sort. The agent could not give me the discount and just kept repeating that my plan was not eligible for the discount.
    So even though I was promised the discount from a Verizon Wireless Agent at an official store and my plan does not say anything about me being in-eligible, Verizon has refused to give me the discount due to very arbitrary wording. They even have a link that is suppose to show you in-eligible plans but it does not work. The representative told me that they change the eligible plans all the time. So even if I got the discount they would probably just change the eligibility in the future.
    I was about to recommend a few other veterans to move over to Verizon but now I am telling them to go somewhere else. I should inform the local Department of Veteran Affairs here so they can properly inform any veteran that might call in and ask.
    Verizon should be pretty ashamed of themselves.
    My Plan: Single Line $60 - 2GB

    I Totally AGREE...STAY AWAY FROM VERIZON!! Work for Fed Govt, DoD....according to Verizon's rules, Qualified for the Employee Discount....NOT.....Previously worked for Kroger...applied for the employee discount as a Kroger Employee and the discount never showed up on the billing....Customer service WAS NO HELP....signed up with a Verizon Rep at one of their stores.....Go Figure...Now signed up for employee discount (GOVT) over the net.  Said was eligible...After signed up called to verify the discount..Rep said , Oh, you're not qualified?????? I hope that you get your issue resolved.  You would think that being you are ACTIVE DUTY...and....service our wonderful COUNTRY (US) that Verizon would even be more helpful and courteous to you, as an Active Duty Service person!!!  GOOD LUCK TO YOU...AS FOR ME....As soon as my contract is up, AUG 14, 2011 ( I Can't WAIT)...I'm changing over to SPRINT....Several co-workers use SPRINT...love the service and told me that there are NO HASSELS about giving the US GOVT EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT....{please keep your posts courteous}....SPRINT ROCKS!!

  • EA6500 worst experience - stay away from this router

    Hi Everyone,
    EA64500 is worst, stay away from this router, since last 2 days I spend more than 4 hours with Linksys support and it is useless ans wastage of time. 
    I am going to return this junk to Costco. It works for 2 months only after spending hundreds of dollars. It sounds rosy but the product is crep. 
    Check out real problem at following link

    There are many reasons why a connection could be intermittent. It might be because the connection to the ISP is unstable, to much wireless traffic, frequency interference from other wireless devices, physical obstructions or corrupted router firmware.
    The location where your wireless router and computer are placed affects the performance of your wireless network.  To boost the wireless signal, it is ideal to place the wireless router either in the central part of your house or in a location free from any obstructions that may block its range. The frequency used by your router’s wireless network can be set to 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or Mixed.  Interference happens if there is conflict with some wireless devices that are also using the same frequency within your network.  The most common examples of devices that use the same frequency are cordless phones, microwave ovens, and baby monitors.  Another factor that could cause interference would be a separate wireless network which operates in the same frequency as your routers.
    If all computers connected to the router are experiencing intermittent connections, it would be best to observe the connection straight from the modem. Observe it for 24 hours and if there are no issues then best to upgrade the router’s firmware.

  • Do I get charged for any uploading (possibly even from my web host) when people download a podcast that I have created?

    Do I get charged for any uploading (possibly even from my web host) when people download a podcast that I have created?

    Not as far as iTunes is concerned: hosting a podcast there is free. However the media files are kept on your server - your ISP or a hosting service - and there may be a limit to bandwidth. If you podcast turned out to be extremely popular then the number of downloads might exceed the allowable bandwidth from your server in a given period and lead to an extra charge or possibly blocking until the period was over: this is something you would have to check with them.

  • TS3274 My ipad 2 charges very, very slow. It was on the charger for 7 hours and went from 41% charged to 77% charged.

    My ipad 2 is charging very, very slow. Is was on the charger for 7 hours and went from 41% to 77%. I have tried several different charger, even purchased a new charger. What could the problem be?

    Could be your battery needs replacing.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Sisoftware Sandra: Is there a reason to stay away from this software?

    I have not noticed Sisoftware Sandra recommended by folks on this website.
    Is there a reason I should stay away from Sandra?

    I suppose, there is no real reason to stay away from it.  The point is, I believe, that it is in general not as popular as (let's say) tool like Everest/Aida, HW Monitor, CPU-Z, GPU-Z, Core Temp, Real Temp and the like.

    iCloud is free as long as you don't exceed the 5GB free storage limit.  (You would need to purchase extra storage on iCloud to exceed this limit.)

    This process does not appear to work for me.  I'm running 10.8.3.  I created a new user for a guest staying with me.  They have gone now and I am attempting to either change the password or delete the user.  It won't allow me to choose the user I created.  I am logged in as myself and it states that I am an "Admin".  The user I'm attempting to change is listed as a "standard" user and there is a white checkmark inside an orange circular background on the user pic in the list of users. 
    Can someone help me?  I am having a hard time believing that OSx will allow me to create users and allow them use of my computer and it's drives, yet it will not allow me to change the password so I can monitor what they might have been doing while logged on?  What if this were my child?  This guest left under sketchy circumstances, and I'd really like to be able to ensure they were not using my computer to do illegal things or to have illegal communications.

  • Stay away from BT - my personal experience

    Hi,
    My name is Rubens Kubiak, joined BT on 22nd March. So far, BT has been the worst ISP I've ever seen - by far.
    I placed the order through phone.... decided about the broadband package and landline calling plan, perfect.
    A few days later, I called BT to inform that the starter package should be delivered in my office, as I would be away from home (where the broadband would be installed). I received a phone call and an email confirming the change, and the package would be delivered then to my office address.
    What a surprise? Nothing arrived in my office. They tried to deliver it.... at my home. Unbelievable, with all the planning beforehand, phone calls and e-mails and confirmations. A really bad start.
    I just managed to get the package in the Post Office by saturday (23rd). Installed and everything was working fine.... for about one hour. Then... got disconnected. About three minutes, no internet. Then, since 23rd March, every single day I got disconnected about 10 times a day. It lasts about 2 or 3 minutes, but is really annoying for a service that is not cheap and should work smoothly. Now the best part. Try to call BT. Try to reach the technical support. IT IS A JOKE. During the day, takes about 30 minutes (if you're veeery lucky) to speak to a human being. Today I waited 1h40min.... with no answer at all.
    Well.... P2P connections (torrent, etc) are also highly controlled by BT, and is practically impossible to download a file. The speeds are really low. Fine, I agree with the policy, so everybody can have a good connection. But nobody tells you that when you're purchasing the broadband via phone. Even when you tell the operator that you want a complete and unlimited package because you download too much. They should have been decent and tell the facts straight away! They should have explained me that.... don't you think BT?
    Now, speaking with the tech support.... they told me that's normal during the first two weeks or twenty days the connection being unstable..... it's a period of stabilisation. Period of stabilization? When purchasing the package through phone, nobody ever alerted me about this facts. They told me now, that I'm facing the problem. Not good, BT.
    Now they told me to wait until 5th or 6th of April to see if the problem is solved. What is that? I'm paying for a product...... that nobody told me would be unstable for a while..... and why on earth should I be patient?
    I hate things like this..... loads of excuses.
    I purchased a product, and I'm not happy at all...... delivery was a joke, the seller hid important facts about the service, and now the best part: trying to explain I'm not happy at all, and want to cancel the whole stuff. I've been a customer for 5 days..... and just want to ship the equipment back, pay for the month I've used and forget about BT.
    But..... mo make me feeling like a clown, BT wants to charge me THREE HUNDRED SIXTY SOMETHING for cancelling the service.... as contract cancellation fee.
    C'mon BT. You guys should be ashamed! Anyway....  BT is not authorized anymore in my bank account. I'll pay for the installation, for the service I've used.... but I'm not going to pay any kind of cancellation charge.
    It's been less than a week I'm a customer..... and already a unhappy one. I just want to forget BT and go for another ISP.
    Well... that's my personal experience, and my personal thoughts....sorry about being rude sometimes.... but BT is driving me crazy here!
    I'm moving away from BT by the end of the month, maximum....... anyone experiencing the same problem????

    Hi rubenskc
    I can understand that you are annoyed about the delivery and if you didnt know about the stabiisation period.
    The stabilisation period really should have been explained on the call, but as others have posted, its an important part of activation in order to get the best speed from your line.
    Best to leave the hub alone to do its thing and dont be tempted to reset.  Have you noticed any improvements since it was activated?
    Thx

  • Complaint re charges for no service

    When traveling in France I could not connect to Skype. After numerous tries I gave up. This was very frustrating. Then I was charged for all those tries where I could not be heard at all!! There is no where to make a specific complaint about this.

    I can't agree with Lee Jay. My experience buying product direct from Adobe has been extremely good. I even ordered the wrong product ( an Adobe font set) and was able to call back two hours later an get the order cancelled and downloaded the correct font package with no issues.
    Doing business in other countries has different licensing restrictions, taxes, duties, and higher business operations cost. Here's a good example:
    http://www.zdnet.co.uk/news/it-at-work/2010/04/12/uk-users-pay-a-premium-for-adobe-cs5-400 88600/
    Adobe US customer service is probably instructed not to accept orders for product being physically shipped to another country.  If you had ordered a Lightroom 3.0 download product using a credit card with a US address, Adobe wouldn't even know you were in Italy.

  • Charged for canceling service in first 30 days

    Hi, all. In short: I cancelled my Comcast service within the first thirty days of a new plan.  I was told that I wouldn't owe anything if I cancelled within that time, not even termination fees.  However, Comcast is charging me over $40 for that month.  I need to know how to put a stop to that, or else they threaten to ruin my credit history by sending negative reports to the credit bureaus. Recently I changed from an old (non-promotional) plan on Comcast to a new one.  I did so in order to get a reduction in price from $155 per month.  The new plan gave me only a reduction of $15 per month and I was forced to take telephone service as well.  I was told I had thirty days to cancel the service without penalty.  I wouldn't be required to pay anything for those thirty days if I cancelled within that period as well. Comcast claims that I digitally signed an agreement to this effect online.  However, I only remember accepting some terms about E911 related to the phone service. In order to get me the new plan, the Comcast service tech had to sign me up for additional services, because she couldn't get her system to accept the plan as we discussed it.  The additional services pushed the monthly amount to around $190 per month.   I was told that I could cancel them later. A couple of days later, when I received confirmation of those additional services, I contacted Comcast again to cancel those services.  It took some time, but the technician got the job done. Over the period of the following thirty days, I found a better service provider for TV and Internet, so I switched to that and called Comcast to cancel my service.  I told the tech. on the phone that I was told I could cancel free of charge.  She disagreed.  After much arguing, she finally relented and said that I would probably get a refund check. Last week, I finally received a letter from Comcast, with a bill for over $40.  I think this is unfair and I need to get it stopped.  When I try to call them, they put me on hold for very long periods of time, then the technicians don't have access to my account history to verify my story.  I have chat transcripts of the conversations about the plan, but they're unable to accept the transcript files from me.  I think it's very convenient that the Comcast techs will say anything online or on the phone and claim to have transcripts or recordings of these communications, however, whenever I ask for something in my favor, the evidence mysteriously disappears.

    Shafting the customer is in their business plan.  They hope that you will get so frustrated that you will just give in.  Better to just do what millions around the country are doing....cut the cord and go with just internet service only.  50Mbps is all you need to stream HD content and buy your own modem which will pay for itself in 9 months vs. Comcast's ridiculous rental fees.  $10/month for Hulu and about the same for Netflix.  You still get most of the content you're looking for without all the fees and headaches.  Good luck!

  • Getting charged for sevice after I switched from verizon

    I canceled my verizon service as of March 10th.  I just received a past due notice from Verizion stating I owe the full amount, including 3/11 - 3/26, even though I was no longer in service.  They still expect me to pay.
    I called customer service and the first person I spoke to said they could prorate my account, she put me on hold for the supervisor and I got disconnected. Called back and was told a whole different story on why I was being charged a past due amount. Finally got a supervisor who said too bad, that's how the bill gets automatically generated and I have to pay for the service up to the end of the next billing period, there is nothing anyone can do. And amazingly they just had a big meeting earlier today going over how they can't credit customers back current charges for services they do not have?  Why should I have to pay for a canceled service??? So frustrated right now!

  • BT bill charges for non service during moving hous...

    BT dreadful customer service & incompetence
    Hi all,
    After deciding to move home I made the necessary arrangements with BT prior to our moving date. Our switch over date was 14th November 2014.
    After numerous calls with BT and mostly dealing with multiple BT operators with little knowledge, poor communication skills, lack of interest and on a few occasions extreme rudeness, I was still no further forward with a line connection date.
    It became apparent that there was no line services to my new home, which I could understand although I was disappointed not to have been informed of the situation prior to my moving home (a fact BT should be easily aware of)
    I spent weeks going round and round with no clear outcomes or specific information returning to me, I actually knew more information from the site builders than BT knew, BT even had the arrogance to tell me that my information from the builders was incorrect (which it wasn't)
    Numerous misinformation, conflicting information, non returning of calls, engineer dates that were not upheld, non required engineer dates are amongst a series of frustrating dealings with the vast majority of the BT operators, there were only a few operators that seemed to care and assist and they were at the end of my ordeal of 3 months!!!!!
    It was very clear that the information from each phone call between myself and BT was not correctly recorded. On two separate occasions during a singular phone call I actually had to repeat my situation to three separate operators to which I had become accustomed to being transferred amongst.
    So to be clear from 14th November 2014 until late February 2015 we were without services.
    During one of my many and expensive mobile phone calls to BT I was advised to set up my own mobile broadband and they would foot the bill and repay the expense until they provided a service.
    (Which I did as I had no confidence in a connection date within months)
    Throughout this ordeal BT had the arrogance to attempt to bill me, even though we had no service!!!!
    Here is the kicker.
    BT have now disconnected us from their service (31st March2015) for an unpaid bill, a bill we can't get amended and corrected to reflect the 3 months without their incompetent service.
    They have even added charges for BT sports which I can't even watch as I have no viewing box, I believe this came free for 6 months) with my original package.
    Even this is an issue. I was informed upon moving house that a new contract would commence when I moved home thus starting the 6 months free BT sports package once more (yet another mistake by BT)
    We will not pay any form of bill until they amend and correct the bill to reflect we had no service for 3 months.
    I have now tried to call to speak to an operator regarding the issue, after entering my home phone number the BT automated service redirects me to the only option which is to pay the outstanding bill!!!
    No bill will be paid until it is corrected, I will be sending a bill for the mobile broadband I required to set up and maintain. I am also considering looking into the loss of earnings I suffered due to the length of time I was offline, as well as the amount of time required to deal with the sorry mess. A stressful time enough moving home without this added fiasco.
    I am also aware of the Ofcom regulatory body as well as the multiple rules BT will have breached in our contract.
    All in all we have endured a long and needlessly complicated mess, which thinking was behind us, is in fact still present. We are seriously considering removing our service completely with BT which I am sure in the eyes of the law will be justified and legally binding due to the numbers of contract breaches sustained by BT.

  • Unexpected charge for Comcast service call

    I had the same problem.  The service was down for 3 weeks and the techs kept hanging off the phone when they couldn't resolve the problem.  I finally had to go in person and they found out the modem was bad, but after that, two more weeks until we had the Internet back.

    I signed up for comcast internet back in April 2013 and had issues with it up until Feb 2014. I initially started out with a bill of 29.95 a month, then aftert 6 months it went to 44.95, and then I get a call that it is going up to 69.95 6 months after it went to 44.95. Well I was approached by a rep in Best Buy about Comcast services. He was able to get me the triple play package (phone, internet, and cable) for 79.95 a month. I jumped on this deal thinking the internet issues may be resolved when I upgraded. Well turns out I need a special modem for the phone and only one digital set top box is included in the price. So I ended up with another 17.95 in equipment fees added to my bill. The internet became even worse after upgrading. The new modem they supplied me would release and renew my IP address every 30 mins. This made doing any kind of online gaming impossible as I would drop my connection for 2 mins every 30 mins. I ended up having to take the modem back and have them swap it for a new one. The new one droped the internet connection randomly throughout the day at 8 past the hour. I called customer support and after a few hours of bouncing around from person to person I got someone that had me go in and change the default settings of the modem to something else to resolve the issue. At this point I am happy because I have a continuous internet connection. After a few hours of playing online I am randomly hit with intermittent lag spikes. I use speedtest.net to check my connection and it is erradict, sometimes it is over 38mbps and others less than 1 mbps. I pay for 50 mbps. I call to have this issue resolved and they try everything they can think of over the phone and finally say they will have to send out a tech to trouble shoot the problem further. I schedule the appointment and the tech comes out, he was not dressed in any kind of uniform and did not have identification on him that was visible. I would not have known it was a comcast tech if the truck didnt show comcast and xfinity on the sides. He comes in and takes a look at the coaxial comming out of the back of my modem and runs a check on it. He says the coaxial cable is bad and replaces it with another piece of coaxial cable I had lying around. He says that fixed the issue and leaves. He did not even check anything else outside. Just replaces a coaxial cable that comcast sent me in a self install kit and says its bad. Needless to say my issue was not resolved. I called and again they scheduled another visit for a tech to come out. The tech shows up and spends around 30 mins checking everything outside only to find no problems. He makes a 55 ft ethernet cable and has me connect my computer directly to the modem. Hey my problem is solved. I have a stable internet connection. What good is an all in one cable modem if it does not work. I ended up having to move my room and computer around so that the computer was right next to the cable modem ( I could have left the 55 ft ethernet cable running around the room but did not feel like looking at it).
