Customer Service for Closing a Bundled Account

Let me start this post by saying that when my husband and I moved, we wanted to keep our Verizon bundled service.  We were happy and had no reason to switch to another company.  However, Verizon does not service the community that we moved to so we were forced to close our Verizon account when we moved and go with another service provider.
We moved December 10, 2011 and closed our account at that time.  We did everything we were told to do, when we were told to do it.  Since that time we have been receiving monthly statements from Verizon stating that they owe us $66.28.  When we got the first statement, I called to make sure we had done everything we needed to do and they assured us that we had and that we would receive a check within 60 days.  So, we waited.  It is now July 6, 2012 and we are still getting statements from Verizon saying they owe us $66.28.  After MANY phone calls from me to Verizon "Customer Service", I have determined that someone did not close out my account properly back in December and that is why we have not received our refund.  I have been assured that there was nothing we could have done differently on our end...but I have received no apology from anyone for why this was not handled properly and in a timely manner.
To say that I am frustrated with Verizon is an understatement.  Does no one there monitor closed accounts to make sure they are closed properly?  Does no one there monitor money that is owed to customers?  I'm pretty sure if the tables were turned and I owed Verizon money...they would be tacking on late fees every month.  Well, guess what....I consider you at least 4 months late with the refund.  Also, when I asked the finance person if there was anything they could do to go ahead and cut the check, since it's obvious what has happened, she said "no, it takes 60 days to go through the system".  Sorry, that's not an acceptable response when you are the ones who messed up. 
It really isn't about the money.  It's the principal.  Take responsibility and treat your customers the same way you expect to be treated.

  • Rate Apple customer service for me

    I'm a new user and finding Apple customer service very un-responsive to resolving a problem I had with an unrecognized charge to my account. Account has been disabled and I have no access while they "investigate." I have given new credit card but that isn't speeding things up. All for a $1.29 charge! I'm not impressed but stuck with them if I want to keep my iPhone! In general, is there usually satisfaction with Apple? Or is there general dissatisfaction with their customer svc responses?

    Apple has been rated #1 in customer service for a few years now.
    With millions of iTunes customers, ther are bound to be some that have issues.
    Usually they are pretty good about getting things sorted out. Respond to the previous email you received and give it 48 hours for a response.
    problem I had with an unrecognized charge to my account.
    You did call/write your CC company and dispute this charge, correct?

  • I CAN NOT BELIEVE APPLE OFFERS NO PHONE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR ITUNES USERS!

    I have been unable to access my purchased music on my new computer (the old one crashed before I could back up my purchased itunes music). I clicked "check for purchases," and received one of several television shows I purchased and NONE of the dozons of songs and albums. When I clicked "check for purchases" again, a box came up that said "all purchases have been downloaded for this account." Does Apple really not allow you to recover your purchased music in this situation? Does Apple really put profits ahead of customer satisfaction to the extent that they've eliminated phone customer service for itunes altogether? Well, I know the answer to the second question from research is yes. How sad. But can anyone help me with the first Q? Is all my purchased music really gone permanently? Thanks. -Matt

    Hi, Matt.
    Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups.
    That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form at the bottom of this page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/backup/
    Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
    Your music is valuable - please back it up!

  • Bad customer service for my printer

    Today, I called HP customer service for an ink failure issue of my printer. I knew that the printer had out of warranty so I want to ask question how to reset the printer. But the customer service representative told me that I am a valued customer so he will assist my problem over the phone fully without any charges. I really appreciated two attempts (Cleaning, Power reset) and he would give me two options of my problem.
    Those were basically replacement plans that were $30-$60 less than the new one. Of course, those plans are for the manufactured reconditioned with extra sets of ink cartridges and 2 years warranty if I pay another $1. I couldn’t accept this offer at that time because I need to discuss with my wife, but instead I asked customer representative to call me on later tonight. The customer representative supposed to call me later tonight, but I didn’t get any phone call from HP, so I called HP and I was really surprised how HP change their words. I argued around 2 hrs with switching my phone call to 4 different person, and a lot of waiting time, asking that I got offered. I knew that HP would record all the conversation and never response me about this.
    Finally, I found that HP offered me scratched and cosmetic wear printer with guaranteed working. The hardware supervisor gave me this offer and made sure that I am aware of that by reading conditions of printer. Later, I asked for the return policy, and she give me 3 business days. Who is going to buy a $50 less priced printer with a lot of scratches? I know that another sets of ink cartridges will worth to have this offer, but I didn’t because I will disappoint when I first saw the product.
    I totally disappointed of customer service how HP changes their offers and words, resulting me wasted more than five hours, including convincing my wife. I regret that I bought so many HP products (computers, printers, and tablets) I will never buy HP products, and I will not recommend HP products because of worst customer service. 

    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums. I'm sorry but this is a peer-to-peer community of HP customers, and not a venue to contact HP directly. Most of the users here are consumers like yourself who are offering solutions because they like to help others, and any HP employees you see are here on their own capacity and not representing the company.

  • Promotional Bundle Discount - Disappointing Customer Service for the first time ever

    I'm a long time Comcast customer currently on a triple bundle package.   My promo discount ended and typically I can call; talk to a knowledgeable rep; and find a comparable bundle to keep my rate under $200 a month (tv, internet, phone that I use for business calls).   Last week I got a "sassy" rep who was anything but helpful;  reading off scripted cards; insisting that she was doing a good job and had satisfactorily helped me.  I kept telling her no...I wasn't happy hearing there was NO promo available to me via the phone but I should try going to the website...well, I've spent another hour online trying to find alternatives with no luck.    After reading some forum posts, I'm convinced there is NO site on comcast that offers any promo bundles for existing cusotmers that want to lower their bills.  I do not need all the channels that my current plan has, but apparently if I change some things, comcast will get me for additional equipment costs so I'm sort of screwed unless we just drop everything and switch things up....I do hope someone from Comcast reaches out to help before you lose me as a customer...... 

    I must have talked to the same rude customer service girl as you did. I was also trying to get a reduction in my bill and her response was to give back the modem that I rent and that would take $10.00 off my bill. For the last month I have had nothing but poor wifi service, having to call almost every day and have my modem reset. Well I hooked up this new modem that also includes the router on Saturday, what a nightmare that was. For more than 24 hours now my wifi has been intermittent at best. I called earlier and spent a good hour on the phone being transferred multiple times and each time having to repeat the same stuff over and over again! I have been with Comcast for more than 15 years and I think it's time for a change, tomorrow I am calling AT&T !!!

  • COMPLAINT: Nonexistent customer service for hacked iTunes account!

    Since I couldn't find a "Customer Service" forum, and there is no useful email address, support form or phone number to address this issue, I'm posting this here where I hope someone can actually help.
    My wife's iTunes account was compromised within the last few days, and whoever took over her account racked up HUNDREDS of dollars in fraudulent charges. She was able to get PayPal to terminate its connection with iTunes so that no more charges could be made, and she was able to reset the password on her account using the web form. But we have been completely unsuccessful in getting ANY help from Apple on this issue.
    We tried contacting 1-800-MY-APPLE and tried several support options in that system. The first time we managed to reach a human, he HUNG UP on us. The second time, my wife was told there was nothing he could do, and that she would have to fill out an online form. Said form gives no indication of how long it will take to get a response.
    Tonight, my wife got a response from someone at a support center connected to Apple, who apparently CANNOT write in coherent English, and who is saying he cannot find any fraudulent charges on her account. Needless to say, she is not at all pleased, and neither am I.
    Apple, please have a COMPETENT customer support representative contact me IMMEDIATELY. (You should be able to see my contact information in my AppleID account.) Or give me a contact phone number or email address to which we can get someone who knows what they're doing.
    Thank you.

    More's the pity. If nothing else, I want other users to be aware that we've already tried that support form and have gotten no support from Apple. Protect your accounts by changing your passwords if you haven't already, because if someone breaks into your account and makes unauthorized purchases, you won't be able to count on anyone from the company to help you.

  • Unable to reach Customer service for billing question

    I have trie serveral times to call verizon customer service to ask about a billing question.  Either I'm disconnected or I receive a recording say the office is closed.  I tried Verizon's Live chat, explained my question and was told to call a 800 number  and the same thing happened again.  Why can't I reach a live person  regarding a billing question???????     What is going on with Verizon???? 

    I'm sorry you are having difficulty. An agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information or to help you resolve your issue.

  • Re: BT - Your customer service for the bereaved st...

    My brother died 24th Feb 2014.
    I contacted BT to let them know this and that i would clear any arrears before taking over his account to keep the BT services we have.
    I am now his childrens guardian, they lost their Mum 4 years earlier, so wanted to get off on the right foot by sorting the BT account and moving it into my name.
    Since the 4th March until today 29th March i have been trying to get MyBT online account to Confirm that i am the Primary Account Holder.
    I have put in the best part of 10 hours in calls and time- all wasted- the account still says in the account holder section that i am Not the confirmed account holder- This is still in my brothers name.
    I had a call from the Escalations Team who offered me £50 compensation and 1 months services free, they also confirmed that a PIN number had been mailed to me which would allow me to Confirm that i am the Primary Account Holder.
    After getting the PIN and following the instructions a message appeared saying 'there was a problem, please try later'.
    I also had one BT employee change my name on the account to 'Mr Customer' and then hit save- messing up all the hours of horrendous calls, repeating the whole story again and again.
    I am yet to speak to someone who can actually sort this problem out.
    My next action is the very highest level of complaint for the disgusting, insensitive treatment i have had.
    BT managed to get the direct debit change sorted and took my money but failed to confirm me has account holder either by post or email.
    Monday i will contact the Bereavement Team, I will also ask for written confirmation of my Status regarding my brothers account.
    I am totally stressed with the death of my brother and BT have just been utterly USELESS.
    Anyone who reads this and can offer advice please do.
    Otelo and the Telecom Ombudsman are both getting copies of my paper complaints as is Chairman Sir Michael Rake, BT Customer Services Director.
    Enough is enough.

  • TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE TRYING TO UNBLOCK MY ACCOUNT!!

    I have been fighting with the Skype Customer Service people for the last 10 days on this. I got a notification on Skype around 10 days ago on my email address saying that someone had attempted to change my email address to something else. I replied back from my email address saying that it was not me who requested the change, so please leave the email address unchanged. 24 hours later Skype has blocked me out of my own account, I recently charged my account with $16 that I cannot use and my work is getting affected. I have raised a ticket on Skype SRX1281660833ID , where I am arguing with their customer service agents who only use typical standard responses in their replies saying that I need to fill in an activation form (which I have already done 4 times) and they say my responses are not valid enough for them to re-activate my account. When I asked what exactly was wrong with my responses and the fact that I am replying from the same email address that they sent me notification in the first place, they give me standard responses. I have requested the case to be escalated to a senior manager (which they are unable to do), I have asked them to give me a support number I can call (which they don't have) and basically they are responding saying we cannot help you anymore!!! What can I do to make Skype realize that they need to use common sense, and that I am their (paying) customer and I need my account activated again!!!!?????

    Same for me. But I wanted to add money to make few calls. Then I found that I can't cos of the account status. Tried to verify it and got: If you wish to continue using Skype's services, then our only recommendation would be for you to create a new account. Well, I guess they don't want my money, and now I'm sure they won't get a cent from me. I will just use another call service. I don't know what they didn't like in my verification responses. But some questions are ridiculous:account creation year and month (required!!) - are they for serious? Should I remember the exact date I installed Windows too?last phone numbers that I called - the last time I called numbers was years ago..i with Skype CEO come to his bank and be not recognized, should he then be asked to change his real life name and come back to create new bank account. Would be fun as hell.

  • Good Customer Service, for once!

    Hello, I just wanted put in a compliment.  I was VERY impressed with the service we received from Layton at the Verizon Store on McCarran in Reno, Nevada.  We had been to three different stores to solve our problem with a faulty 3G wireless device, and had received no answer or useful help.  Just blew us off.  I was about ready to switch to AT&T.  This guy changed all of that, beyond excellent customer service.  There should be more guys like him around.  Thanks!  On the other hand I couldnt find anywhere to easily leave this comment, and the chat box didn't work.

    I use the iskin solo case for the iphone 4. They have released their cases last week thursday I believe, but I got mine in the mail yesterday and so far I like it. I know people have different taste and likings on any cases, but I personally like the iskin cases. Been using them since the iphone 3G S and it protected me well. few times I dropped my iphone 3G s with the iskin case on and it did it's job really well.
    I also had the iskin case for my 3G as well and just for the fun of it I did a drop test from where my ear is and I dropped it to the hard wood floor, and it landed dead flat on the ground with screen facing down. I was surprised that it survived that drop because it did made a huge crack noice, and of cource no screen cracks on it, but I sold the 3G now.
    But I would never do the same drop test with my iphone 4, knowing that both side is made of glass and don't want to take the risk.
