Customer Service Reps are wholly unqualified to serve customers

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

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

Better Customer Service reps that know what they are doing.

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

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

Does anyone know how to contact a responsible, responsive customer service rep? Promises of resolution to my billing issues are never kept. Return calls are never made. I contacted Executive Relations and emailed 3 Verizon executives. No reponse. Any

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

So the other day I emailed bestbuy.ca customer service to ask them a question related to my E3 pre-order. Included in the order was a Ps4 Nyko Type Pad, and I asked if it is possible to cancel this single item in the order, and if it was, to do so.
Key to note that included among this E3 pre-order was a PS4 Fall-Out 4: Pip-boy edition, which is now sold out across North America.
The customer service rep took it upon himself to play trial and error with this order instead of actually knowing what he was doing and ended up cancelling the entire order and losing me my Pip-Boy Edition.
I have been emailing endlessly trying to explain how this is a bigger mistake than they are making it seem and have only gotten responses asking me to do something about it, not Bestbuy fix their mistake.. absolutely terrible customer service.
This was the question I asked (a), and the initial response I received (b).
(a) my initial question
Is it possible to cancel only one item of this pre-order? I would like to cancel the Nyko Type Pad if possible, but not any of the other items.
(b) First bestbuy.ca response

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

Great reading comprehension. The email wasnt about the availability of the game, the email was about the mistake made by a customer service rep. And no, no more stock is being made available, as Bethesda has said so. Just a terrible, terrible case of customer service.
Consider me, a lost, long-time, customer.

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

The lies that customer services reps tell you.

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

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

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

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

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

Customer service rep to be picked from ship-to

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

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

The easiest way to find the Health report of server or workstation follow the below steps which is very much easiest way to get it done
There are a few ways to find this in Windows Server 2008.
First click “Start” and type “Generate a system health report”
Or second navigate your way to the Control Panel choose “System and Security” and choose “Generate a system health report”.
The last is to type “Generate a system health report” into the “Search Control Panel” box in the upper right hand corner of the Control Panel window.
Once armed with this data it’s easier to refute or acknowledge an issue is at hand.
BTW if you’re looking for this same thing in Windows 7 it’s there just buried a bit more.
Search Performance in the Start Menu, choose “Performance Information and Tools”, click “Advanced Tools” from the menu on the left, and finally choose “Generate a system
health report”.

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

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

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

I was given one price by the customer service rep, asked to speak to a supervisor, and they were all in a meeting, at 6 pm at night, how do you speak with somebody with knowledge at VerizonWireless?

I have been a customer with VerizonWireless for over 10 years. I called two months ago because they had a new rate plan, in reading information on the website, it appeared they were going to switch everyone to the new program. I called (mainly because my bill was nuts) and the rep told me the new plan she was switching me to was $180 per month. The first bill came and it was $280, which they explained away as I was switching plans. The next month it was $255 (which was $25 more than I was paying), when I called the rep - was very quiet. I explained what I was told and she seemed confused. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, she stated they were all in a meeting and one would return my call within 24 hours. IT HAS NOW BEEN 36 HOURS AND I CAN GUARANTEE I WILL NOT HEAR FROM VERIZONWIRELESS MANAGEMENT UNTIL I CALL THEM AGAIN.
This is truly wonderful customer service!!!! Does anyone know how to reach somebody at VerizonWireless, that can explain why I was told one thing and then received something else. My thought is if they treat a 10 year customer this way, how are they treating the new customers.

What does it take to get a VZW Customer Service Rep to call you back?? READY TO CANCEL SERVICE OF 4 LINES!

Has anyone else had problems with VZW customer service? I have been lied to repeatedly and am on the verge of terminating my contracts. To begin, I sent my daughters, who are authorized users, into the store - which is 40 minutes from my house- to upgrade and renew 2 lines. I called Apple to upgrade initially, but my account has a corporate discount, so they were unable to upgrade my lines of service. I called the closest VZW store, again 40 minutes away, spoke with the sales associate DUSTIN. I told DUSTIN exactly what I wanted and advised that my daughters would be in to upgrade the lines.
When my daughters arrived, there were 2 people in line ahead of them. As the other customers were taken care of and left, it became closing time. Another representative approached DUSTIN telling him he did not "need to do all that, just hurry and get them out". YES!!! The other rep told him to hurry and get the sale out of the store!!! WHO PAYS YOUR BILLS? WHO PROVIDES YOU WITH THAT PAYCHECK AND COMMISSION MONTHLY?? YES, we the customer do!!!
Next, DUSTIN brought out a selection of cases, car chargers and screen protectors from the back of the store advising my daughter to "pick one", as he presented the selection of cases to her. She advised she did not want or need the cases or other items he was offering. He told her the case and screen protector "comes with it". HE LIED to her!! This is unethical and deceptive!! It was not until she arrived home, after being rushed out of the store, she noticed the additional charged for the case and screen protector - which was supposedly included.
I called VZW *611 immediately. I spoke with a gentleman named CASEY who empathized with me and stated he would forward this information to his manager to have his manager contact me. I have waited for a return call and have not received one. If I do not hear back from VZW today, I am returning 2 lines of service, cancelling all 4 lines and taking my service to a carrier that will do what they promise and not unethically obtain sales from paying customers.
The bonus to this story- my daughter is a minor! Not only did he manipulate and lie, but did so to a child!!! I have been a VZW customer for over a decade. When I cancel my service, everyone will know why. In addition, I talked my LARGE corporation into obtaining corporate accounts with VZW. I can assure you, that will also be revoked.
Best Wishes

Sadly, i've had a few unethical issues of my own and i'm an adult. I do think there was some responsiblity on the daughters' part to verify what they were paying for before leaving the store even though you made an honest attempt to have things laid out prior to their arrival. In regards to VZW's service, It has declined horribly over the past few years. I've been a customer since they were orignally a company called PrimeCo and I'm on the verge of switching providers myself. I had a defective phone that was replaced 6 times in one year..the store manager called me out the blue to apologize for the defective phones and offered me a free upgrade at no charge. He NEVER told me that he was extending my contract and treating it like a normal upgrade. I didn't find out until i went for my New Every Two purchase. I also received a letter stating they were discontinuing the New Every Two Program, but i still would be able to use my last upgrade on my next purchase. Of course when the renewal period came around, there was no such record of the offer and I got nothing. It's now time to renew my contract again and upgrade, but as before, there is absolutely no incentive for me doing so. I'm still going to pay the same as any new customer that walks through the door, still paying an activation fee, and i don't have unlimited everything like most other providers are currently offering. So please tell me again WHY i would want to renew my contract and purchase a new phone from Verizon when i can go elsewhere and get all types of perks???
All in all, i truly sympathize with you and as of today, i'm looking to purchase a new phone this afternoon with another provider.

Where do you go for help when the customer service rep keeps hanging up on you saying your phone is breaking up and I am on a landline where I bought my verizon plan

I sign up with Verizon on 08/04/2014 new plan new phones switched carries. It has been A nightmare. First I purchased one plan with two phones. They set up two accounts charging me for both on two different account numbers. On August 11th I was told it was fixed by a local Verizon REP. Said it was a computer glitch. Now . Today I received two more bills , still two account and they even contain extra charges as if I was moving my telephones back and forth. Excessive over billing and still two account. When into store where I purchased because they knew I had this problem. They has me call customer service from the store telephone. After 1 hour on the phone with a rude person, the rep. at the store and me both talked to her. She started saying your phone is breaking up hello are your still there. I was on a land line then she put me on hold until I finally hung up. about 20 minutes. because I was already late going back to work. I have spent hours trying to get this fixed and now I have had the service for 30 days so I can not cancel. Does anyone know where to go for some help.

File a complaint they will call you.
Or take them to court for the over billing and your loss time from work to file and go to small claims court. Include the filing fee.
Either way bring all your paperwork to have the judge look at.
Good Luck

Possible to meet with Customer Service Rep, rather than call?

We have been overcharged on our bill (ATT Uverse) on so many occasions, and there are so many inaccuracies on the bills submitted, that we need to sit face-to-face with an intelligent customer service representative and go through all the bills for the last 5 months, in order to reach a comprehensive solution. Calling customer service has not been helpful. They seem to be looking at different charges and different bills than the ones in front of us, not to mention the incompetency of some of the reps with whom we have been dealing. I am considering filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau...however, I want to give it one last try, before filing as many complaints as possible. Is there a way to meet (not call) with a customer service representative, who can go through the hard copy bills with us? Would going to their corporate office help?

Send a message to the ATT Customer Care team. This group has been known to get things done but give them two to three business days to respond. Be sure to include a detailed message of your issues along with your name and account number.
