Customer service regarding credit card mishandling possible credit fraud

To whom it may concern,
On Tue morning I placed a order for a sprint prepaid galaxy s3 and a go pro hero package through the early black friday preview deal.  I had both items in my cart and checked out the go pro package with promo code.  I then immediatley went back into my shopping cart and proceed to put in my galaxy promo code and the item was not longer available and sold out.  I then called customer service to see about why this was removed from my cart and how I could order one.  I was told that item was sold out and nothing could be done.
I then relealized in the confusion that I entered the wrong credit card in the system and wanted to change the form of payment to the correct card.  I was told that they will take my credit card information and I gave the CR rep my credit card and was put on hold.  I then was taken off hold and another CR rep was on the line and I started the whole process again giving my credit card information waiting for an authorization from her, which she gave me. (This whole process took approx 45 min by the way).
I then get to work and decide to check the status of my order at best buy and I am suprised to see my initial credit card info was used to process the order, not the new credit card that was given and told authorized.
I call CR again and the order was checked on on they said that the payment was authorized for the intial credit card and basically there is nothing I can do to change it.  I tell my story to the CR and she sees that I did request my credit card payment to be changed but can do nothing for me not even cancel the order and reissue it with my proper CC number.
I ask to speak to a supervisor Angela and she again tells me their is nothing can be done with my order is being processed and by the original credit card was used as authorized.
My major concern at this point is who did I give my credit card # twice too.  She tells me the agent I was speaking with and I demanded that we get connected with this agent to see what happened with my CC info.  She informs me that this can not happen.  I ask what as a supervisor is going to be done.  She offers no remedy for the multiply issues I was having.  I had to tell her that I would like to escalate this issue, she then said she can issue a ticket # 148428368.  I then ask for the call to be reviewed and I would like a transcript of the conversations I had with the CR rep and how it effects my credit card security.  I am posting this so this get rectified and more people are aware of the dangers your company practices of handling credit card numbers to the CR reps.  I feel this situation could of been handled much differently and want to hear a solution to my issues.
Concered Customer,

Hi wildwest99,
I sincerely apologize if this phone agent didn’t handle your request to change your payment source as you expected them to. It sounds like they tried to change the payment source, thought it went through, but obviously it didn’t change.
We would never give a copy of our recordings to a customer but we would cooperate fully with any ongoing police investigation. Has this second credit card been used without your authorization? If so, you need to contact the local authorities in order for them to open an investigation.
I can say that many calls are reviewed and if this agent didn’t act appropriately action will be taken. This action will of course will be treated internally. Other than providing you a transcript of this call, or sharing if any action is taken in regards to this agent, is there anything specific you would ask of me?
Thanks for posting,

    " After creating an ID , transaction of 1 Rs was made on Credit card. "
    Correct.  This is completely normal and not unusual at all.  It is an authoriization charge and will be reversed.
    "Any reason why when i have made no purchases ? "
    Check you purchase history and see what the charge was for.
    Are Iphonne services so bad.. have i made a wrong decision in buying this product ????"
    Calm down.  The iphone has topped customer satisfactio each and every year from the very beginning.

  • My email Conversation with Creative Customer Service Regarding MicroPhoto Rep

    So I am having a problem with my MicroPhoto because it is goign to recovery mode and is not detected by P.C. (my original post, http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=98326 )
    Here is my conversation after sending in my info about my player
    ME: Support Inquiry: ID(8) My MP3 player is not detected
    Product: ZEN MicroPhoto
    CCPP Certificate Number:
    Serial Number:
    Purchase Date: /9/2006
    Operating System: Windows XP
    Creative Model Number: DAP-MD0007
    Computer Brand/Model:
    Processor/CPU:
    Memory:
    BIOS Type/Revision:
    System Board/Chipset:
    Detailed Problem Description:
    I am having a problem with my Zen MicroPhoto, it started to "freeze" on
    the Creative Logo while booting up, so I went to the recovery mode and
    used clean up and format all and when I booted up again it gave a
    "firmware error" logo. So now when I boot it to gives me a weird
    scramble of white dots on the screen and goes to the recovery mode. Now
    my computer won't detect it and I downloaded multiple firmwares and they
    wont detect it but the Creative Recovery Tool detects it but when it
    says click "run" on each dialog boxes to continue, no dialog boxes
    appear. It shows up in My Computer under "other" with the label Creative
    Zen MicroPhoto with a 20mb capacity. Obviously something is wrong with
    the firmware and I need help figuring out how to fix it. thanks.
    CREATIVE: Dear Brian,
    Thank you for using Creative's Email Support System. We appreciate the
    opportunity to assist
    you.
    I understand from your emauil that you want to get an out of warranty
    repair for your Zen MicroPhoto.
    Based on the description of the issue you had provided, it sounds as if
    the hard disk of your Zen MicroPhoto needs to be replaced. This costs $
    $0. However, before we can issue you an RMA, we would also need the
    following information from you:
    Purchase Date:
    Serial Number: (Please consult this picture to know where you can find
    your serial number: http://ask.americas.creative.com/wwi..._micro_ser.gif)
    Alternate color choice:
    (Please note that the alternate color choice is only used to decrease
    the turnaround time of your RMA if the unit must be replaced and the
    color of your player is out of stock. If you only prefer to have the
    same color that you sent in, please be sure to note this.)
    I will issue you an RMA as soon as we receive the information that we
    need. I apologize for the delay.
    ME: $0? I can buy a new one for $50 more. I don't mean to seem like a know-it-all but I am strongly convinced it has a software or firmware error. I relize I have a few fields to fill in but I will worry about that later. It seems like all the people on the forum that have the same problem
    CREATIVE: Hi Brian,
    Thanks for choosing Creative!
    I understand you are concerned that your Zen MicroPhoto may have a
    firmware problem because it gave you a firmware problem error. Sorry
    for the confusion.
    Your player most likely does have a firmware problem, but the constant
    freezing also indicates a hard disk problem, which will cost $0 to
    replace. If the firmware is the only problem, then the cost will only
    be $25.
    I recommend considering the new Zen 8GB player. It also includes a
    color screen but will also play videos and contains solid state memory
    instead of a hard dri've, so you don't have to worry about internal
    moving parts wearing out as with the MicroPhoto: http://us.creative.com/products/prod...=&product=6999

    ME: It doesn't freeze anymore. It only froze when it first got a problem. So when it continued to freeze, I used the clean up and format option in the recovery mode. After I did that it just goes right to the recovery menu.
    I would be willing to pay $25 for a fix but not $0. Would it be possible to arrange it so it could be looked at and fixed but only if it is a firmware problem? If it is a hard dri've problem, I would just want it sent back.
    Thanks for the help.
    CREATIVE: Dear Brian,
    Thank you for contacting Creative Technical Support. I understand that
    your Zen MicroPhoto was displaying a Firmware Error and now only boots
    into the recovery mode. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you
    today.
    This indicates that the firmware was corrupted and deleted from the
    player. The recovery mode is the only place for the player to boot into
    now that the firmware is lost. The only way to correct the issue at this
    point, would be to reload the firmware.
    I see in your previous messages that the player was not properly
    detected by your computer or the recovery tool. If this is the case, the
    player must be sent in for service and can not be resolved at home.
    Here are the last steps you can try before sending the player in:
    . If you would like to try one more time to reload the firmware, please
    first enter a cleanboot of Windows. This will disable certain background
    applications that may be interfering with the installation of your
    software. Please click the link below for detailed instructions:
    http://us.creative.com/support/kb/ar...p?l=3&sid=6738
    2. Next, try the firmware update once more. For detailed instructions
    and the proper download, please click the link below:

    ME: Is it O.K. that I don't know my exact date of purchase? Can I put a rough date or does it matter?
    I would like to send my player is to get fixed but under a few conditions that you can assure me will be followed.
    . The hard dri've will WILL NOT be replaced and I WILL NOT be charged $0.
    2. I will be contacted before anything you replace that will cost me more than the original $25 fee.
    Is this alright? email me back.
    I appreciate your help, thanks.
    CREATIVE: Dear Brian,
    Thank you for contacting Creative E-mail Support.
    I understand you have some questions regarding your products warranty
    coverage, and the RMA process.
    In order for the product to be considered under warranty you will have
    to supply a copy of the original retail sales receipt with the date of
    purchase, product purchased and the place it was purchased from. If
    the product is sent in without a copy of a original retail sales receipt
    with that information the product will be deemed out of warranty. The
    minimum out of warranty fee is 25. USD which only reflects labor cost.
    In the event that a part needs to be replaced there will be additional
    parts fees based on the problem you have described the Hard dri've your
    Zen MicroPhoto will likely need to be replaced the cost for hard dri've
    replacement out of warranty is 0. USD for your product. This price
    reflects parts and labor. It is recommended that you send a check or
    money order for the full amount with your Zen MicroPhoto. In the event
    that you do not send a check or money order for the out of warranty fees
    a Creative Representati've will e-mail you to arrange payment prior to
    making any repairs or replacing the player. In the event you do not pay
    the out of warranty cost the player will be dispositioned by the RMA
    department.
    Let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
    If you still require assistance, please reply to this email with any
    previous correspondence to ensure the quickest and most accurate
    service.
    Best Regards,

    So basically, if I send in my player I will pretty much be charged $0...which is pointless because there is no way I am paying that.
    I stumbled upon this is site http://www.zenrepair.com/Zen/index.jsp and I may consider trying them. What do you guys think about Creatives service?
    Has anyone ever heard of or tried that Zen service site before?

    Hi,
    I am trying to get Adobe to rerelease the software and registration number for my CS4 suite but my email & ID has changed from [email protected] to [email protected] for some reason the ID link now says I am in the US not Australia. I get the same message:
    To change your country, contact Customer Service.
    But that has not been possible online.
    Do you have an email contact for them please?
    I only want the dreamweaver and adobe pdf creator & editing software but the links on US site don't work either.
    I already paid for the whole suite a few years back so don't want to pay again after I had to replace a HDD in a windows 7 machine.
    So do I send a letter via Australia Post to:

  • Problems with credit card or removed credit number and itunes doesn't let you update/download already purchased items - what is that about?!

    I took my credit card number off b/c I was having problems with it and I was waiting for a new card , and itunes would not let me update and already purchased apps and TV seasons! What is that all about?!

    I just called the 1-800-My-Apple and the said there is really nothing they can do about it. They said I had an outstanding payment of $8.54 (or something like that), I said I know b/c of the problem I am having with my bank, but NO previous completed purchases should have anything to do with this outstanding payment . It should not keep me from being able to update or download previously completely paid apps, TV Shows, or movies - they are mine, and I paid for them. I submitted a complaint.. that just isn't right!

  • Different middle name on credit cards? Same credit report?

    Hello, so I want to apply for the United Mileageplus Explorer Card, however it would automatically be linked to my mileageplus account and take the name from there.
    Legally, I may have two different middle names, one from my birth certificate and another from my SSN card. I've been using the SSN middle name as I was told to by the woman at the DMV when I got my license.
    I currently have two credit cards and multiple authorized user cards under the middle name from my SSN card/ drivers license.
    If I were to get the united card under my birth certificate name which is the name on my passport, would it report to my current credit report? Or what?

    Skye12329 wrote:
    Yes it will report to current report. Mainly because no matter what your SSN is linked to you. Also I don't think any of my applications asked for more than my middle initial for my middle name.If it were me, I would get this worked out with Social Security to 'fix' the problem altogether.  At some point, it will come up. A few years ago, my grandmother got notified by a health insurance company that there was a mismatch in their records with her birthday.  She was very confused, since she was certain she had reported her correct birthday of May 30.  The insurance company informed her according to their records, her birthday should be May 31.  As she was in her late 70s at the time, she was certain she knew her own birthday until she dug out a paper copy of her birth certificate, where her birthday was shown as May 31, just as the insurance company was claiming.  (The entire family is still puzzled as to how anybody could be wrong for 70+ years on their own birthday, but it happened...) She had to go in person to the local SS office with her birth certificate and ID and fill out some forms to get it corrected with them.  Then she had to go to the DMV with her birth certificate to have it corrected on her license as well.  Surprisingly, it wasn't the nightmare I expected it to be. If you've got a name mismatch, in a way that's almost worse than a birthday being off by a day.  Fortunately, your passport is correct, which will greatly help in correcting everything else, including Social Security.  Actually, I'm a bit surprised TSA didn't pick up on the difference when your passport was issued, since they cross-reference with SSA, but it could be that your passport was first issued pre-TSA (like mine), and just slipped through the cracks. Best to clear it up now when there's no urgency, than later when you're up against a clock!

  • Is the customer service really that bad? (possible future customer)

    I'm currently with Brighthouse and I'm looking to switch to a bundle of cable/internet/phone.  Not just here but all across the internet I've read about Verizon's horrible and unprofessional customer service.  Is it bad enough where I should reconsider switching over?  I have Verizon Wireless for my cell phone and haven't had too many issues with them.  If the CS is that bad, does the equipment and internet speed make up for it?
    If it is that bad I would appreciate someone letting me know and saving me the money and hassle.

  • Security deposit issue: customer service saying it is never possible to get it back

    To anyone who might be able to straighten things out here,
    first of all, I am not asking for a security deposit back right away. I was just asking for a possibility of getting my security deposit back and on which condition I can get it back. However, when I called up (800)-922-0204 and spoke with counselor after waiting half-an-hour, she told me I am unable to get security deposit back at all since it is non-refundable to anyone. I questioned her why is it called a deposit in such case, and she kept on insisting that security deposit is something I pay in the beginning to open up an account and it cannot be returned at all. I was puzzled since the guy at the retailer shop and he told me I can probably get the deposit back at some time later and check the estimated date to get the deposit back if I called the number specified above and talked to a counselor.
         So I checked up the answers posted up in this forum and figured out that indeed security deposit is returned after certain criteria is met. I was really irritated and upset, but that's something I have to deal with, so I'll pass on that. Following are my conditions on Verizon account and I hope someone can tell me when I can possibly get the deposit back and/or where I can get such info.:
               I first opened up my account in Verizon 4 years ago with $400 deposit (Aug. 2014). Then, as a Korean male, I had to go back to my country to serve      in military service that I had my account suspended for about 3 consecutive years. (Thanks to the Verizon retailer who helped me out at Oakdale Mall.)      The first condition to get the security deposit back was "to have 12 consecutive monthly bills paid without delay (No suspensions while doing so)" and I      know it was not done since I suspended my account at around 10th month (June 5th, 2011). I re-activated my account with a different phone and a plan      on Aug. 30th, 2014 and the guy at the Verizon service center in Vestal, NY told me to check when I can possibly get my security deposit back.
    Sorry to leave such a long message here but I guess I am not good at summarizing things here. Please take the pain and help this poor kid out.
    Thanks to y'all who reads it & leaves a possible answer to my question.

    First of all, I assume you have a misprint and you opened your account ~4 years ago in August of 2010, not 2014(1 month ago).
    Next, it appears you had your account suspended for 3 years after completing only 10 months of service and have recently re-activated the account.
    If the above information is correct in your case, I would assume you will get your deposit back 12 months after reactivating your account without any further suspensions and/or late payments. So I would guess you will be eligible to get your deposit back in August, 2015.

  • TS4526 Poor Customer Service regarding my Apple TV

    I was told initially to return my Apple TV by Apple tech support to the Trafford store Manchester, I then rang up Apple Trafford store, when they advised me not to return the item as they had no appt available, they told me to go to the genius bar on-line and make appt for the Trafford Store, but when you try and make the appt there is no option to make appt for Apple TV, so this contradicts the advice I was given, I then went to the store & eventually joined their queue and waited for 25 mins with others who had no appts, finally when I got seen by the manger of the store he told me initially to wait for 70 mins, after he read my notes after taking the serial No of the Apple TV he changed his tune as he stated that I was advised not to call to the store to return the said item, I was disheartened to say the least, the Manager then told me that the waiting time for 70 mins will not be given to me as I was advised not to call to the store, he then told me to call back after 3.5 hours, or call tomorrow or vist another store, I was not happy to say the least & found this quite unacceptable, usually you get great service with Apple and maybe my expectations are too high, The manager remained firm & gave me no leeway, I was so upset I left the store & told the Manager I was not happy with him and under protest I left the Apple TV with him which he did not like and accused me of being over dramatic, if something is faulty you should be able to take it to the store & return it, not go through loads of waffle & red tape, I do not think Apple is geared up in this respect unless you adhere to their system, unfortunately for Apple you cannot make an appt on-line for the Apple TV as there is no option for that and the option currently is still not there.
    When I got back home later on I spoke to Apple  & they were dismayed as to what had happened when I told them the situation, this was on the 31st Jan, I still have not had any good communication with Apple, who after speaking to a few senior Support Staff at their Cork & Gateshead centre have assured me that this matter will be dealt with, however the return calls promised to me about my TV have fallen on deaf ears, and also email were promiised to me so that this matter can be dealt with, nothing has happeneed I am none the wiser as to what Apple will do, the ladies I spoke to at the support centres were terribly nice & polite to me, Elaine at Cork & Sophie & Anna at Gateshead, I am still at a loss as what to do as there is no follow up!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I am getting tired of chasing Apple around to get any service, I do not think they will follow up as the response promised has protracted.
    Zafar-

    The Apple TV always worked well, until the last 3 weeks, suddenly I could not get any of my movies or music through homesharing, the guys at Apple tech support were running me through again in how to reconnect it when they told me in the midst of it that my Apple TV is on recall, so it was advised to me to return the item to the store as they instructed me to, I then rang the store up when they told me I could not return it for a week at least, and I should make an on-line appt at the Trafford store through the genius bar, unfortunately this cannot be done as there is no option for Apple TV on their on-line support to make an appt with Apple store in question!!!!!!
    The Manager at the store initially tried to help me, but then changed his mind, which left me quite upset, I do not think Apple are geared up for their returns if you have to go throgh this rigmaroll to return products to them, I really felt quite belittled, it took me nearly 30 mins to get to the store & the Mnager told me to call back tomorrow or visit another Store despite that I bought the Apple TV at the said store, terrible terrible Service!!!!! if you can call it that is !!
