Filing an Official Complaint-Bad Customer Service during Disconnection Request

I moved to an apartment complex that does not have Fios services.  I called Verizon Customer Service where the Rep was rude and the manager I spoke with was even worse.  I am now charged with a $92 Termination Fee, even though I did not have the option to transfer service due to the Apartments not able to allow Fios.  The Manager stated that this is common practice and that they charge the Termination fee even if you move out of the country.  Really? That is horrible!
I also had a contract with Direct Tv, however they cancelled the contract, no questions asked with no termination fees, since they were not able to provide satellite services to where my apartment was located.  So this is not common practice.
Verizon rather charge this fee regardless of the circumstances and risk never having this customer again on service, as well as begin a horrible word of mouth path.  Why would I recommend any of Verizon's services, after this negative experience?  
Please tell me where I can file a formal complaint.

  • Complaint BAD customer service experience in Hong Kong

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

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

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

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

  • Very bad customer service!

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

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

  • I am sick of the bad customer service

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

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

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

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

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

  • BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE IN NEWNAN

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

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

  • Help with Filing Complaint against Customer Service "Supervisor"!??

    Can anyone give any insight on how to file a complaint against Verizon Wireless/Verizon Wireless Customer Service & their "Supervisor"??? I need to file a complaint with someone that is actually in management because there is no way that the so called supervisors that I have spoken with are actually supervisors... It is disgusting the way they treat their customers and accuse me of lying about the issues with my phone when I was actually in a Verizon store and the Verizon worker was on the phone with tech support and I explained to her that she can call that store and speak with the worker because I guarantee he will remember me and all she could say was "again, there is nothing I am going to be able to do for you.  You are more than welcome to go into the Verizon store tomorrow and speak with the worker there but that is not going to change anything because again, these charges are valid and I am documenting your account that we have discussed this matter and all charges are valid."  Completely unacceptable considering EVERY SINGLE WORKER prior to her understood the error and was to apply the credits on my account, the original customer service rep that spoke with the verizon store rep on my behalf after fixing the glitch in my phone said they would be applying the credits because it is NOT my fault I was given a refurbished phone that had internal glitches in it, but never applied the credits.  I spoke with number customer service reps and supervisors whom all claimed they were applying credits to my account, claimed they would give me a call back personally and never did and I was speaking with the supervisor regarding why this was never done after multiple calls in and she just decided to switch the whole thing around on me and just kept talking in circles because she had absolutely no concept of what the problem actually was, she would cut me off every time I would talk and continue to try to talk over me and just kept talking in circles and making absolutely no sense and contradicted everything she said and when I asked her to please explain because she was contradicting herself she just went back to talking in circles.  She is not qualified to be speaking with customers that have complex billing issues.  I need a REAL manager I can talk to about my issues and someone that is actually qualified.  Can someone PLEASE give me some advice???  Thank you!!!!  (and sorry for the long drawn out message - I am just SO worked up over this whole situation and how HORRIBLE they treat people - and I wouldn't even care so much about their attitude if they actually were talking some sense but to have an attitude, be clueless and STILL not correct my account is UNACCEPTABLE!)

    I am not fully sure what is going, but have try to dispute the charges in accordence with the customer aggreement? It is always good to read what you sign and maybe following this process will get you futher. If you want to read the full aggreement go here: Customer Agreement | Verizon Wireless
    "HOW AND WHEN CAN I DISPUTE CHARGES?
    If you're a Postpay customer, you can dispute your bill within 180 days of receiving it, but unless otherwise provided by law or unless you're disputing charges because your wireless device was lost or stolen, you still have to pay all charges until the dispute is resolved. If you're a Prepaid customer, you can dispute a charge within 180 days of the date the disputed charge was incurred. YOU MAY CALL US TO DISPUTE CHARGES ON YOUR BILL OR ANY SERVICE(S) FOR WHICH YOU WERE BILLED, BUT IF YOU WISH TO PRESERVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING SUCH DISPUTE, YOU MUST WRITE TO US AT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ADDRESS ON YOUR BILL, OR SEND US A COMPLETED NOTICE OF DISPUTE FORM (AVAILABLE AT VERIZONWIRELESS.COM), WITHIN THE 180–DAY PERIOD MENTIONED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT NOTIFY US IN WRITING OF SUCH DISPUTE WITHIN THE 180-DAY PERIOD, YOU WILL HAVE WAIVED YOUR RIGHT TO DISPUTE THE BILL OR SUCH SERVICE(S) AND TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING ANY SUCH DISPUTE."

  • Complaint about customer service and business practices

    I am creating this post to make public a complaint i have about unethical practices and poor customer service with Verizon.
    Here is the story:
    A few months back our landline stopped working. Called Verizon and followed all of the troubleshooting steps to try and fix the problem. No dice. I called again- they said they could send a tech out to fix the phone line- and was told specifically that if the problem was INSIDE the house and involved the tech coming INSIDE then there would be a $91 service charge. If the problem was OUTSIDE the house, no charge. So cautious that the problem might be inside, I replaced the phone jack and tried multiple phones etc to make sure it was not an inside issue. Called back and scheduled an appt. The tech came out- was extremely friendly and immediately located and fixed the problem- IN THE BOX OUTSIDE. Said there was a short in one of the lines at the box. It took him less than 5 min. I said- that was easy! He said- yup- and will save you money too (by not having to go inside). That was that. The next month we got our statement (we're on autopay)- and there it was- $91 charge. I called customer service- and after some passing around and review of the tech's notes by the rep- that stated he did NOT enter the house, they agreed to credit us back the $91 on our next bill. That was last month. Statement arrives today- NO CREDIT. I call back. After more passing around I am finally told that it was not credited because our "request" was denied. What? I said? The request was reviewed and denied based on the "notes" showing that i was "informed of the charges at the time of service"? Um, what? No i wasnt. I was informed MULTIPLE times PRIOR to the appt that i COULD incurr charges if the tech came in the house. He did not- his tech notes even state that. So now i get passed to a supervisor. He tells me that the tech notes state that i was told of the charges at the time of service. Funny- the month prior to that when i first called the notes did not state that at all- they simple said that he did not enter the house. Somehow after my "request" was filed the tech notes were modified. The supervisor was very curt and short and said the case was already reviewed and denied- no credit. He then goes on to say that the reason for the charge was because the tech did work on a line that LED into the house? What? Don't all the phone lines LEAD into the house? And regardless- it was explained several times to me that the ONLY charges would be if he came in the house. I have been a loyal Verizon customer for years- but i was shocked and quite frankly **bleep** off. NEVER was i told about any charges during the service. In fact i was told the exact opposite- that there would be NO charges since he never entered the house. This is a horribly deceptive practice- and i am NOT HAPPY. I told the "supervisor" so- who didnt seem to care at all- and told him that i would consider canceling my service because of this- at which he happily said "would you like me to transfer you to cancelations?" wow. Unfortunately I am still locked into my 2 year agreement- however i will unquestionably be looking to switch to brighthouse after its up and will be recommending likewise to my friends and family. You simply cannot tell a customer one thing and then charge them for another. Dont they record all the phone calls for "quality assurance"? Well if so, then they need to listen to the calls i made prior to the appt to ensure that i would NOT be charged if the tech did not enter the house. I triple confirmed this. Verizon has completely lost any credibility in my opinion. NOT HAPPY.

    so yesterday i posted the below complaint about my experience getting charged for service on my landline. After some "private chatting" with various verizon people i got the response that follows. unbelievable. i will without a doubt be canceling my verizon service as soon as my contract is up and will definately be recommending the same to friends and family.

Somehow after my "request" was filed the tech notes were modified. The supervisor was very curt and short and said the case was already reviewed and denied- no credit. He then goes on to say that the reason for the charge was because the tech did work on a line that LED into the house? What? Don't all the phone lines LEAD into the house? And regardless- it was explained several times to me that the ONLY charges would be if he came in the house. I have been a loyal Verizon customer for years- but i was shocked and quite frankly **bleep** off. NEVER was i told about any charges during the service. In fact i was told the exact opposite- that there would be NO charges since he never entered the house. This is a horribly deceptive practice- and i am NOT HAPPY. I told the "supervisor" so- who didnt seem to care at all- and told him that i would consider canceling my service because of this- at which he happily said "would you like me to transfer you to cancelations?" wow. Unfortunately I am still locked into my 2 year agreement- however i will unquestionably be looking to switch to brighthouse after its up and will be recommending likewise to my friends and family. You simply cannot tell a customer one thing and then charge them for another. Dont they record all the phone calls for "quality assurance"? Well if so, then they need to listen to the calls i made prior to the appt to ensure that i would NOT be charged if the tech did not enter the house. I triple confirmed this. Verizon has completely lost any credibility in my opinion. NOT HAPPY.
    This post was followed by an online chat with a verizon person last night- who, after reviewing my acct and the notes on the acct said the following:
    {edited for privacy}
    WHAT? First off I WAS NEVER INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE OF WHERE THE WIRE WAS OUTSIDE MY HOUSE. I was simply told if the work/wires were ANYWHERE ON THE OUTSIDE of the house, which they were, then no charge.  "Internal side of the NID leading into your home"- THIS WAS STILL ALL OUTSIDE! NO ONE EVER SAID IF THE WIRE WAS ON A PARTICULAR SIDE OF THE NID BOX I WOULD BE CHARGED! ONLY IF THE WORK WAS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE HOUSE! THIS IS CRAZY! AND ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT AN INSIDE WIRE MAINTENANCE PLAN? WHO THE HELL HAS THIS? OR HAS EVEN HEARD OF IT?
    I AM SIMPLY AMAZED THAT A HUGE COMPANY LIKE VERIZON FEELS THE NEED TO BULLY AROUND AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE LIKE ME. SHAME ON YOU VERIZON. CLEARLY I HAVE LITTLE RECOURSE HERE, HOWEVER AS MENTIONED BEFORE I WILL BE CANCELING MY SERVICE AS SOON AS MY CONTRACT IS UP (TO AVOID ANY RIDICULOUS EARLY TERMINATION CHARGES0 AND WILL BE RECOMMENDING THE SAME TO OTHERS. I WILL OF COURSE BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AND ANY OTHER CONSUMER ADVOCATE GROUPS THAT I CAN - NOT THAT I EXPECT ANYTHING TO COME OF IT- BUT TO SIMPLY LET THIS GO ON RECORD. SHAME ON YOU. YOU CANNOT TELL A CUSTOMER ONE THING AND THEN DO ANOTHER. LISTEN TO THE PHONE RECORDS FOR WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE THE APPT- ALL I WAS TOLD IS THAT THERE WOULD BE NO CHARGE FOR WORK DONE OUTSIDE THE HOUSE...ONLY CHARGE WOULD BE IF WORK WAS DONE INSIDE. WOW. SIMPLY AMAZING.

  • Telstra's bad customer service

    I've had some bad experiences with Telstra's disastrous customer service over the years, but this one takes the cake. Let this be a warning to anyone who chooses to do business with this dysfunctional company... I decided to install a landline with bundled internet at my country studio. My studio is rented and is one of two properties on the block, the other belongng to my landlord. I placed the order with Telstra by phone and was notified that a technician would visit to make the line connection. All fine and dandy. As usual I was given a four hour window for the technician's visit, which meant I had to wait at home. This was the first (but normal-for-Telstra) inconvenience. The technician arrived and tested an old landline that was already in my studio and told me it needed repair. He was unable to do the repair himself as this was the responsibilty of a different department within Telstra, he explained. Next contact from Telstra came in the form of a phone call from another technician who turned up without notice while I was away interstate. I explained that I wasn't given any notice of his visit and he replied 'niether was I'. So he met with my landlord in the other house, checked the line and said that Telstra wouldn't repair the fault because it ran from one house to the other and not directly from the terminal in the street. Aparently the first technician had a different opinion, or he could have told me the same thing. Incidentally the house to house line was originally installed by Telstra. Then a few days later Telstra's Indian call centre rang me and explained that the phone line had been repaired and that another technician would attend to make the actual phone connection. I explained what I'd been told about Telstra not being able to do the repair, but I was assured it had been done. I was given a new four hour block of time during which I had to wait for another technician to turn up. This day and time came and went without any sign of Telstra. I rang their call centre and was told that the date I'd been given was wrong. Two days later I'm at home wasting another four hours of my time and hoping that Telstra has their act together at last. The four hour block comes and goes with no sign of Telstra. Then my landlord knocks at my door with a slip of paper. The technician had indeed visited but hadn't bothered to talk to me. He instead was quite rude to my landlord and said that Telstra would not repair the line (same story as the second technician gave). Apparently these technicians from the line repair department don't talk to the call cantre. By this time almost a month had passed since I placed the order with Telstra and I'm at the end of my tether. I expect terrible custoer service from Telstra (based on past experience) but this has been the worst yet.  The day after the third technician had visited and spoken to my landlord (not me), the Indian call centre rang and asked if I was happy with my new phone connection. I explained that the phone was not connected at all, that I was fed up with Telstra's dysfunctional service and I wanted to cancel my order. The operator explaned that the third technician had actually connected the service as it was ringing. I checked my landline phone (again) and explained that I had no dial tone at my end due to the faulty line. I demanded the cancellation of my order and was advised that the call centre could not cancel orders and that I'd need to talk to a different department. I refused to be placed in a phone queue and demanded that the call centre arrange with the other department to have my order cancelled. After some discussion the operator said he would connect me directly and I was placed in a queue. I waited 10 minutes then hung up (all the calls were made to/from my mobile phone). The next day I receved an email from Telstra congratulaing me on my new phone and internet connection and providing log in details etc. I was not happy. Again I rang the Indian call centre and complained. This time they offered to call me back when they had someone from Telstra's complaints department on the line. I was eventually connnected to someone in Australia who said that they were unable to help but who'd put me through to a different department, the service disconnection department. I refused to be put in a phone queue and the operator promised that someone would call me back within three business days.  A couple of days later someone else rang me from Telstra and again they didn't know the full story so, as with every phone call, I had to explain my situation again. This person seemed to have the power to arrange the cancellation of my order. I made it clear that I would not be paying Telstra anything as they had not provided me with a service. The operator said that someone from another Telstra department would call me and confirm the disconnection and the waiving of all charges. Finally, the next day I received a call from yet another Telstra department who tried to steer me into some other solution. I impressed on him that I wanted to cancel my order and he agreed to do so. He explained that I would be billed but that I should ignore the bill as all related charges would be waived.  The outcome? Many hours of wasted time on my part. Three visits by Telstra technicians for no result. No service provided. I have never dealt with a more dysfunctional company than Telstra. Their internal organisation and communications are disasterous. I came to understand that one or more of the technicians who visited my home were not Telstra employees but contractors. Between Telstra's Indian call centre, their Australia-based employees, local technicians and local contractors the company has designed a bureacratic debacle. I'll bet the shareholders have been sold a story about efficient cost-cutting strategies. I wonder how much my cancelled order cost the company? How often does that happen Telstra? If only they had more competition....!!! 

    MORE quality telstra customer service. On wednesday i finally signed onto get cable broadband, although they cant get anyone out to me (in a CBD location) until jan 6th. But thats ok, i work from home and my connection now just about works for me.  Anyway after an hour or so on the fone messing around sorting this out i received assurances that my adsl2+ connection would stay on until cable was indeed put in my premises on the 6th.  Lo and behold, 930 the following morning, whilst working of course, my internet dropped out. and wouldnt come back on, so i let work know and rang telstra... And im informed after about 30 mins that my connection is off because .... you guessed it..  some moron had processed it without reading the notes they said had been definitely placed on my account... and shut down adsl2+ in preparation... now i know i dont expect too much comon sense but you would think someone might ask themselves.. "do these ppl really want to be without internet for 2.5 weeks over chrismtas/new year"? Anyway for another hour i was cursing and moaning on the phone to every dept and being told that they couldnt do anything for me for 4-5 business days as it would be like a new account. FINALLY someone helped me. and it was back on within 24 hours.  Although he did have to re-sign me up for a 24 month contract to do so, so god knows what kind of bill i will get in january. Prob triple payments or something stupid.  These clowns have no idea, regardless of what the moderators say on here and telstra apologists.. these clowns could have cost me my job. and all you get from somebody in india or the phillipines who doesnt deserve the abuse is a sorry, we cant help you.  I have worked in a a few countries and i have never ever dealt with such poor customer service at telstra..  I implore any and everyone who signs onto these ppl for anything to check with them over and over, ask to be put through to somoene in australia (its not racist just prudent to want to talk to someone who can fully understand you) and make sure they know exactly what you want. Probably wont make a spot of difference.

  • Complaint - Poor Customer Service in Store and Inconsistent Communication

    I am writing on this discussion board in hopes that my complaint will be reviewed and communicated to those in a position to make a change so that other Verizon customers will not have to experience what I did yesterday. On June 24, 2013, I had an exceptionally bad experience with Verizon. My iPhone 4S completely shut itself off while I was reading an email on my way into work. It had a full charge and I wasn't doing anything differently with it, simply scrolling through emails before it shut down. When I got into work, I attempted to connect it to my charger to see if it would recognize it, which it did not.
    On my lunch break, I went to the closest Verizon store to my office, located at 209 S LaSalle St., Chicago, IL 60604 (312.658.3900) to speak with them about my options. They looked at the device and informed me that thye couldn't read anything from it. They also noted that there was no water damage and the device was intact - no cracks or anything of that nature. Knowing that my upgrade date was a mere 22 days away, I asked if there was any way they could please bump it up so that I could upgrade to the iPhone 5 and have a working phone. John-Paul, the individual who I spoke with, informed me that I could go to the Apple store and see if they could help revive the phone, and if not, I could call Customer Service (800.922.0204) and ask if they could bump up my upgrade date because, "Customer Service are the only ones who can do that."
    In order to be proactive, and knowing that I might not have a working phone to call Customer Service with later last night, I went back to my office and called  Customer Service to see what my options were. I spoke with an individual named Gabby at around 12:30 PM - 1 PM CT who was very helpful. She was baffled that the store hadn't helped me since there was a Corporate offer (Eligible Device Offer Upgrade) taking place throughout all of Verizon which offered customers the opportunity to upgrade for the discounted price of the phone, so long as they were upgrading from a 3G to 4G device, which I had been trying to do when I went in the store (since my phone is a 3G and the iPhone 5 is 4G by default). She asked for the store's contact information that I had just been in and put me on hold while she called them and told them that I was eligible for an upgrade and could receive the iPhone 5 at the upgrade price. She informed me that she had spoken to John and that he had located the promotion code, and suggested I go back to the store before he left for the day since he was the individual she had spoken with about my particular situation.
    I immediately walked back to the store and found the John she spoke with << Full name removed >> and he was very helpful. I confirmed that I could upgrade to the iPhone 5 at the upgrade price, knowing there was an additional standard $30 upgrade fee, in addition to taxes and insurance. When he went to get me the phone, however, he informed me he had just sold the last black one of the GB size I needed. He informed me that another store in Chicago had 9 iPhone 5 devices in black in the GB size I was looking for.
    I left work at 5:45 pm CT and walked to the Verizon store located at 36 S State St., Chicago, IL 60603(312.726-8277) to purchase my  upgrade. However, upon entering the store, I was immediately told they couldn't promise me anything and that they might not be able to upgrade me for the price I was quoted, but instead, only shave off $50 from the phone. I asked to call and speak with a Customer Service rep while in the store since I had been told earlier in the day, by a Verizon Customer Service rep, that there was an Eligible Device Offer Upgrade promotion currently taking place that I could take advantage of that would allow me to purchase the iPhone 5 at the upgrade price. I was troubled to hear that the Customer Service rep on the phone was now telling me something differently - in fact, there was no promotion, and the only promotion I could take advantage of was the one in which $50 would be shaved off the phone's full price. I asked the individual who was assisting me at the store to call the LaSalle Street store to see if they still had the iPhone in the size I needed in white (at this point, I didn't care about the color, so long as I had a working phone) while I continued to speak with Customer Service. I was told by the CSR on the phone that it is each store's manager's individual choice to decide if they can override the upgrade date, which I told her I had been told the EXACT opposite in the LaSalle St. store earlier in the day by John-Paul. She explained that individuals in Customer Service have much more extensive training than those in the store, implying John-Paul might have misunderstood the policy. However, I asked her if they received such excellent training (and I would have to assume the same training), then why was I being told something completely different than what I had been told by a Customer Service Rep earlier in the day. I was obviously frustrated at this point as I'd been given the ring-around all day and still had no working phone, which again, was NOT my fault - the device simply died.
    I hung up with Customer Service and was informed that the LaSalle St. store had now told the State St. store they didn't remember telling me they would be able to upgrade me at the promotional price, and had only said they would give me $50 off the phone. I was more than upset at this point as I had clarified three different times the total cost of the phone while I was at the LaSalle St. store earlier in the day, and they had confirmed it would be the promotional price. A manager at the State Street store informed me I had three choices: buy the iPhone 5 at the full price and they would only shave off $50; go to the Apple store and see if they could fix the phone; or buy the iPhone 5 with a music bundle. Know that the price of option one was out of the question, I asked how much my third option was, and after looking over my outfit, the handbag on my wrist, and the jewelry I was wearing, he asked me, "How much did you bring to spend?" I was appalled that he had the gall to even ask this and told him that I had brought in enough to cover the price of the phone at the promotional price that was quoted to me by a CSR, as well as an individual in the LaSalle St. store. He told me he couldn't help me and suggested I go to the Apple store to see what they could. When I brought to his attention that the phone had simply died and not due to anything I had done, and my upgrade date was only 22 days away, and the most recent CSR rep I had spoken to said that it was up to the individual manager's discretion to override the upgrade date, the manager tried to tell me the exception to that rule was the iPhone. I was utterly flabbergasted since every conversation I'd had was either in person (where an individual could see me with my current iPhone 4) or on the phone where I stressed I had the iPhone 4S and wanted to upgrade to the iPhone 5.
    I left the store feeling frustrated and disrespected. At the end of the day, I had been strung along by Verizon, being told different things by different people, and quite frankly, was lied to and manipulated by their representatives. I would suggest that respect, communication and customer service be re-evaluated and stressed to those that work for Verizon, no matter the level.

    Apple does not allow?? If you or I walked into an Apple Store and plunked down full price they will assist you to no end.  I pay full price for my devices, however when I visit the Apple Store near me the purchase price is something like 16 GB for $199, 32 GB for $299 and 64 GB for $399.   Strange since I don't purchase on contract and pay the $700 out right. Me thinks Verizon is trying to get my Unlimited Data and lock me into a contract. However that is not going to happen. So sorry Verizon   I have been looking at T-Mobile as of late. Was thinking of putting my emergency phone on their network just to try it out.

  • File a complaint, poor customer service

    I have been a loyal customer with Verizon since before 2005. I have two wireless plans with seven phones, home phone, dsl, two business line and Verizon will not take care of my service correctly. I am very disappointed.
    In July 2011, I purchased two new phones(Droid 3) at a Verizon Store and was given incorrect information about several issues related to the new phones and the current phones (Droid X) being transfered to other phone lines. The specific problem I have a complaint about is at the time of purchase, I requested the new phones (Droid 3) as well as the phones (Droid X) transfered to other lines to have insurance on all four phones.
    Currently one of my Droid X phones can not be used related to on/off button not functioning. I have been informed they did not set up the insurance as requested. The phone is still under manufacture warranty but I may have to pay $299.00 to replace this phone. I tried to explain I requested insurance. I was informed there is nothing they can do. I asked to speak to a manager. Kat or Cat came on the phone line.
    The situation was explained again. The manager Kat told me I was being dishonest and asking for insurance fraud. I was insaulted. I am a very honest person and she has no right to speak to me this was. I need to make this clear. Everyone else I spoke to was just doing their job, no one else was rude. During this phone call, I spoke to three people.
    I tried calling back to file a complaint. I spoke to another customer service rep. She said, She understood and took my complaint. She was going to try to resolve the problem, put me on hold, then returned to the phone right away and said she was not able to do anything.
    My problem still exists. Phone is not working and I am paying for service I am not happy with. I don't understand how they expect me to pay for a Verizon employee making a mistake. I would rather pay the penalties to cancel contracts and switch providers. Very unhappy. Unfortunately, my new Droid 3 is having problems too.

    I purchased 2 new Droid 3, transfered the 2 older Droid X to other lines. Yes, I did have insurance on the Droid X phones originally. From the day I purchased the phones. They forgot to put it back on when they transfered them and it was added to the new phones. Or at least I hope so. I need to check that also. I do not know how Verizon handles their insurance and am unsure of whether or not insurance will transfer along with a phone to a new line. So whether or not they forgot to add it back on or don't allow it to transfer, I do not know. Sorry, I missed that you had purchased (2)new phones.
    As far as noticing, my bill is very long and I missed it. Did you notice how many items are in my bills and how many product I purchase?Since this is a customer to customer forum and I cannot see your bill, NO, I did not notice how many items are in your bills and how many products you purchase. As to MY bill, I check it to make sure I am getting billed for what I am supposed to get billed for and not getting billed for something I do not want.
     I went online and looked at the receipts/documents sent to me on this phone and they did not even send me a letter. So as far as there records show, i did not even changed anything. I was sent one for the other phone I transfered.
    Any other questions...........

  • Laughably bad customer service

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

  • Criminally bad customer service and unethical contracts

    I initiated my service with Verizon in April 2012. I was forced to move from my apartment a few months ago and my new roommates already had internet/TV so I opted to simply cancel my service. I figured there was only 4-5 months remaining on the agreement, so I'd just pay the ETF on that and resume service again down the road.
    Instead, I'm being told that a package change I made about a year ago re-upped the contract that I was already under which added another 12 months or so to the ETF and my final bill over $200. I called to dispute this, because I was never informed of this extension when I upgraded, and the customer service representative agreed - submitting for an $80 credit last week. I check my bill again today and the credit has not gone through. I call Verizon and they inform me the adjustment was denied during an audit. Nobody called, nobody emailed, nobody texted to explain this to me. I had to find out on my own. I spoke with a supervisor who advised me that there who informed me that the charge is valid and he would not re-submit for credit. He, like the rep before him, was pretty apathetic to my situation and pretty much tried to brush me off.
    Here's my thing... I didn't agree to this contract. I didn't authorize this contract. How is it even legal to re-up a contract while you're barely already under one... let alone how is it ethical to do so? I explained in as simple of terms - either you can re-authorize this contract which will take some of the bad taste out of this experience for me, at which time I will pay the bill promptly, salvaging the possibility that I might return to your company in the future.... OR you can continue disrespecting me as a customer, insist on this extortion of a charge, at which point I will just let it go to collections and settle with the agency for a smaller balance anyway, and take my business to your competitors while bad mouthing your company for the unbelievably terrible customer service I've experienced thus far.
    You're a big company, and losing one customer won't break you. I'm simply giving you the choice. Is it smarter to take $120 today or lose $200 (plus hundreds of dollars in future business) tomorrow? What is a customer worth to you?
