How do I file a complaint about horrible, incompetent and negligent customer service?

I might sound super rambling but I am very frustrated and just tired of explaining the situation over and over and over.
On Wednesday, January 21st, I got a call from Verizon Loyalty Department about a "promotion", which I get $25 credit on each line if I upgrade with edge plan. I wasn't sure what phone to change, so I asked them to call me back on Friday. They called me on Thursday, but I couldn't get the call, so I called them on Friday and talked to the customer service. I wasn't still sure about the upgrades, so I asked them about the upgrades with $25 credit would still apply several weeks later if I decide to upgrade, the first representative whom I've talked to looked at my plan and said something like, "Yes, that is absolutely possible. I was looking through your plan, and since you are a loyal customer and ended your 2 year contract with us, I can give you $25 off on your each line. I asked them would I still get the $25 credit for each line when I upgrade to edge plan. He said yes because the $25 off that he is giving me is for the monthly charge and the edge plan $25 credit was for the equipment charges. So Month to Month $25 off was applied on the Jan 24th, and activated on 29th.
After I finally decided to upgrade my phone, I called Verizon customer service the next week. I do not recall the exact day but on 28th or 29th I called to upgrade it, and the second representative also assured me that the credits were going to happen, and then he offered me to bump down my data to 6 gb from 8 gb to save money because I use less then 6 gb each month. I bumped down to 6gb loyalty plan so I was only paying $60 per month instead of $70 per month. The representative told me I would be only paying around $120 per month. I forgot to ask my sister what phone she wanted to change, so I didn't upgrade it right a way. So only the data plan changed on that day.
I was extremely busy with my work for few weeks, and I finally called again to upgrade it, the third representative told me different old me that the previous representative was wrong about giving me another $25 credit when I upgrade with edge plan. So I ended up upgrading both of my lines with $25 credit on each line plus $60 for 6gb data. But she said I would be still paying less then what I normally pay, which is around $183. I upgraded and took me few days to receive my phone. I checked my bill and it was showing different than what I was told. I called again and explain all this thing again and the lady adjusted my data plan - 6gb loyalty plan for $50. She said she doesn't know what other representative was doing, but this will fix that I would only pay around $150-160 per month.  After I got my phone, I called verizon to activate my phone (I don't really remember it was before or after, I just talked to them too many times and they have changed my promotions and plans too many times in very short time). He also confirmed $25 credit off for each line, but there was one time tax fee that none of the representative has mentioned while I asked bunch of questions about the upgrading fee and how much it would cost on the first month and etc.)
After all of that happened, I was settled and didn't think about the payment until I got $290 with only $15 credit on my bill. I called again and asked what happened and the representative told me she doesn't know why this happened and why the previous representatives told you something that weren't true. and I had to go through the explanation again. She said she fixed it and everything was taken care of.
I checked my bill today. My plan was changed to $90 for 6gb and I was paying $30 more than I originally paying which was around $180 and $50 more than I was supposed to pay. I called the representative today, explained the previous situation and asked why this happened. Basically he told me that all the previous representatives were lying to me. Are you kidding me? They were lying to me? How am I suppose to know if he wasn't "lying" to me? He said only thing he can do is change back to my original plan and amount, and I would pay $6 more than what I used to pay which was about $183.. I asked me if I would get the the 8gb back. He told me that isn't possible. The change did not happen so far. I am tired of calling verizon and more tired of getting different answers from different representative.
I am seriously concerning about changing my service to different carrier. I have to call the verizon every single month when there is a change in my plan. If they were really lying about the promotion and plan just to sell more service, they should be suspended or fired or something, and I need my money back for overcharged fee and need some kind of compensation for my wasted time and stress I got from this.

Okay. You are just missing the whole point, and I am not saying anything after this. I did go to the website to read about the edge plan after I got a call from the loyalty department. I asked the questions on some parts I didn't understand (or was confused of) to the representatives. But my main question was whether I was getting $25 credit and in what conditions. They all answered differently to the same question. (My original question - Do I get the $25 credit with edge plan?- One rep. offered me that month to month $25 off before my upgrade. Other rep. confirmed $25 off plus $25 credit with edge and offered bumping down data plan to save extra money. Another rep denied $25 off plus $25 credit with edge but confirmed decrease in my monthly payment by bumping down the data plan. Other rep denied both. You see what I am talking about? I asked one question to begin with: am I getting the $25 credit with edge upgrade plan - and they are the one who offered me different promotions and offers) 
I also left the part that I actually went to the website and 'researched' the different plans that all the representatives were talking about after I hung up on the phone each time. I joined the forum today because I wanted to know where and how I could file the complaints on verizon customer service after today's call. I should have been more clear on what I was asking, but I thought I was clear enough on my title "How do I file a complaint...?"  Yes I am angry at the fact I didn't get what I thought I was getting, but I am more frustrated the fact every single time I talked to the customer service I get an answer from the rep. I am on the phone, saying "Previous representative you've talked were wrong about this," or "They were lying." The representative, then, would fix my issue, but I would still get the conflicted bills. Don't I suppose to call the customer service to fix it? What's the customer service for if it's not for that?

  • How can I file a complaint about an employee who has been messing with me on purpose (on trades)?

    Hello. What's the best way to file a complaint against an employee who basically tried to ruin all game trades for me?
    She just stands there in the customer service section doing nothing, she paces back and forth while customers are waiting, and she only takes calls to avoid talking to customers in person. She messes up trades on purpose.
    I had a problem with a trade-in once with an awful supervisor and I called the Executive Resolution Team and the lady on the line just told me that they would call the store to hear the "other side" of the story. Honestly, I just told her what happened.
    I went in there for a trade-in earlier that day and the woman taking my trade refused to enter my phone number for my bonus. She flat out refused it five or six times. It was insane. I explained to her how the system works and she called her supervisor. The supervisor acted like I was trying to steal the bonus even though I paid for the subscription. I politely explained to her how it works and I told her all the things that came with the subscription. I told her that all they need to do is input my number in the correct space and it should apply automatically.
    She didn't believe me but she said that I could get a discount higher than what I asked to get as the bonus and I told her that it was actually lower because it was due to the base. She said it's fine and I said that I wasn't planning to buy anything that day. I just wanted to clear some space and get some credit in case there was a decent online sale later that week. She said that she could only give me a discount on something and I said, "Then can I get an Amazon card?" and she said something like "Go get it."
    I came back with the card and she gives me a discount lower than what she said she would give me, but it's still a little bit higher than my bonus, so I let it go.
    I went home and I had dinner and I got some more games ready and I went back to the store. A different lady was there and she got through most of my trade faster than the woman who kept refusing to enter my number for my bonus. She also couldn't get the bonus to work and she gave up on the first try so she calls a supervisor. I just wanted to sweep up all my games and run because I knew that she was calling the same supervisor, but I stood there because I didn't do anything wrong.
    At this point, the woman who keeps giving me trouble in my recent trips there appears and like always, she's doing nothing. Anyway, let's just call this woman L. The supervisor is K. K walked back behind the counter and she says something like, "You again? No. You're not doing this again." I say, "Doing what?" I feel insulted but I tell her that all they need to do is enter my number in the correct place for Gamer's Club Unlocked. L heard this but she just turned around like she didn't hear anything and she's busy. She did this because she's the one who got the registration card for Gamer's Club Unlocked for me. Back when she did that, she mentioned that she was from the Gaming Department. She knew that I was right but she let the supervisor get aggressive with me.
    K kept threatening to cancel my trade. I kept trying to reason with her. All she needed to do was her job. I told her how to figure it out. She kept repeating, "I will cancel it." I said, "cancel it." She canceled it and she had this egomaniac look on her face like, "I won."
    I take my games and I look back and L is pacing back and forth like a beheaded chicken.
    Anyway, for the Titanfall promo, I go into the store and I want to trade two copies of Call of Duty Ghosts and a copy of Thief. I got a copy of Ghosts from a friend who was busier than me. I was very busy those few days, so I went on the last day after classes. I have evening classes, so I got there near closing time. L rejected one of my copies of Ghosts and I asked her why and she said it was store policy even though it's not. She just cost me $11 or something because of the non-promo and promo difference.
    She insisted on doing the Thief and Ghosts trades separatetly for no reason even though I insisted that she do them together so she will only need to enter GCU once and I only need to sign twice and I get one gift card. She's just acting like a jerk, so I said, "whatever". She asked me for my number for the GCU bonus after I tell her about it. It's input and it's in the right place. It was done on the first try. She finished the Ghosts trade and I signed everything but she wouldn't give me my gift card. She started the second trade and she asked me for my number and she input it. I signed the pad and as I'm signing the paper that should be correct because she asked me for my number, I notice that my bonus is missing and I strike out the signature. I told her and she already knew. She was just shocked that I struck out the signature. She said that there was no prompt for it. She obviously lied. She asked me for my number and she input it. I told her, "You should have said something." She just took a relaxed pose and she told me that it's already tendered so she can't undo it. I told her that it's not final until I sign the final paper. I knew that I was pushing my luck because it was the last day and it was near closing time, but I kept telling her that she could fix it.
    She just wanted me to cave at that point, so she says that she will go ask a supervisor about it and she just walked into a room and she walked out in a few seconds saying the same thing. She just pretended to ask about it. She said that I can call the customer service line and get the bonus added. I signed it and she gave me the two cards. Oh, and when she left to "ask a supervisor", she took the card that was already legally mine with her. I had two cards, so I wanted to combine them. I took them to the register with a minute or two to spare and it turned out that they could not be combined because they were store credit cards and not gift cards, like it states on the website.
    So I want to file a complaint against her now and I want to get the bonus she took from me. What's the best way to do that?

    Hello r555,
    Thank you for being a My Best Buy member, and thank you for visiting our forum.  I am very sorry to hear that it has not always been easy for you to receive your Gamers Club Unlocked bonus when trading in games.  I'll be happy to talk to you about your experience.
    I get the impression you are quite familiar with the trade-in process and how the bonus is applied, and it is disappointing to hear that a store associate wouldn't attempt to complete that process.  I will be sending you a private message so we can get some more specific information regarding which store you were at as well as the trade in question where you did not receive the bonus.  Please watch for a message from me shortly.
    Sincerely,
    Mike|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

  • How do I file a complaint about the service I received from Verizon and if I file a complaint, will anything really change?

    I was considering changing service carriers for two of my children on our Verizon plan.  The plan was extremely expensive and my two high school aged children had very old slide phones (one wouldn't even receive calls anymore!)  I had another carrier that was much more reasonable for what they needed and they were both able to get smart phones for $100.  I called Verizon over the holidays to check if the phones were under contract.  The customer service representative asked what I was thinking about doing.  I was very honest and told my plan.  I was then told by the representative that the phones were not under contract.  I switched my children to the new carrier only to receive a $428 bill for early termination of contract!!!! 
    When I called back, I was told by the new representative that I did receive correct information.  Apparently, I did not ask the "correct" question.  The "correct" question would have been, "Are the LINES under contract? (not the phones!)  Now, I am trying to file a complaint and have no idea where to find the area for the complaint!  Please  help!

    AmberF
    If I port back, I have to take away the two smartphones that I gave my high school children for Christmas.  (Sorry kids, Mom is sending back your Christmas gifts because Verizon did not give me the correct information regarding our plan!  You get to go back to your 6 year old slide phone, which doesn't receive calls, and your 3 year old slide phone, that doesn't make calls!)  Also, if I port back, the best that you can give me is $30/month on these phones unless I purchase new phones from you! 
    I have decided to write Verizon a letter of complaint.  I am willing to concede that maybe I did not use proper terminology when requesting information regarding my plan.  I did, however, inform the customer service representative of what I was trying to accomplish and she should have been more upfront with me. I am looking for some type of compromise from Verizon.   I just received my Verizon bill and it is $817.58!!!!   While this will create a very difficult month for my family financially, I am going to pay the bill in the hopes that Verizon will issue me some type of credit for their part in this debacle! 
    If I do not receive some type of compromise from Verizon, I now know when the contracts for all my other lines (5 at home and 5 for our business) will no longer be under contract.  If Verizon cares so little about their customers that they refuse to admit that they might be somewhat at fault, they will no longer have my business.  I will regret this decision, because except for a few minor problems, Verizon has usually been easy to work with.  I consider this a major issue.  I was trying to be prudent and check the terms of my contract before I made any changes and I don't feel Verizon was honest with their answers.
    AmberF, if you can make some sort of financial compromise happen, I will be very happy to thank you!  As I stated,  $817.58 Verizon bill is going to make February and potentially March very difficult months for my family.

  • How can I file a complaint about customer service and billing

    I Changed from AT&T as they didn't offer service where I now reside and ever since March of 2014 it takes about two to three calls to get my billing corrected. And then they have me on the phone for about two hours about the same issue. They have corrected my bill a fee times for their fault. Now I have come to the end of a long battle only to find out they want to charge me a disconnection fee that shouldn't have even taken place.  I sent back a phone before the 24 or 15 days that one has to send it back. A phone that was never used and that every month they seemed to remove those charges. Now after 6 months they finally said that I have to pay the disconnection fee. I am so disgusted with customer service as they always make it seem that there is no one else to speak to. This issue should have been resolved months ago and now they are trying to charge me a fee. When their Texas office received the phone I nt back and didnt put on the account when they received it. Yet every month they seem to resolve the issue and say sorry. I spoke to a supervisor who said I have reviewed your account inn two minutes and decided that he wasn't able to do anything with my account and that charge was valid but prior to this everyone would remove the charge and apologize for e inconvenience, now they just want me to pay the disconnection fee we'll it is not happening and I would like to speak to someone about this. I emailed John bianchi to see if they could help me get this corrected. My biggest frustration that I have not had with AT&T before was so many calls for something so simple and not be able to get answers or them just make it seem as they are always right. My bill since I started has not been consistent and that is frustrating. It is has become a joke in a my family about what my bill will be this month. I have a total of five lines with Verizon and if the opportunity came to go back to a different carrier I wouldn't hesitate to change over.

    @BobbyS_VZW can this person look at this complaint. @bobbys_vzw Kathleen KBG

  • Complaint about N81 quality and Nokia customer ser...

    Dear All
    Firstly I would like to say sorry that this treat maybe post in the wrong place. But I need to complaint about quality of N81 (production in China).
    I bought this mobile in April 2009. Around mid of June, some buttons was failed, after that, it called out by itselfs. I sent it to Nokia Care center for repair, that used 10 days for replaced sliding set and format memory including software updated.
    7 days after first repaired, all buttons except key pad lock and close button was failed and no responsed. So that, I sent it to Care Center again. This time, they changed "COMBO 768M DDR 1G/ SM/ V21.0.010" (something like analytical system) and formated MMC for me (7 days for repaired). 1 hour after I got it back from Care Center, the same problem occured.
    7 days from that day, there are no any information from Care Center. I called them today and got answer that they will chage main board for me. Furthermore there are no due date for receiving my mobile back, due to they need to order that component from oversea T_T.
    I need to know that Nokia in other country has problem like this or not? How do they control quality system in production line? How about their Care Center controlling system?
    Please be noted that Service Call Center in Thailand is very very hard to connect (seems like it always busy) and I found many complaints in Thailand about this.

    If you copy this text, click the "Contact us" button at the top of this page and paste it there ın the message, you might get a reply from Nokia.

  • Who do I contact to file a complaint about wifi on my new IPhone5 and poor customer service at the Apple Store in Leawood, KS

    I am having problems connecting to wifi at home with my new IPhone 5.  I got it replaced today at the Apple Store after dealing with a rude customer service person yesterday and today.  They simply would not listen to me explain all the troubleshooting I have done.  I also have an Apple Airport Extreme base station router, Macbook Air, two IPads, IMac and my husband's IPhone 5 on this wifi system with no problems.  After talking to Apple Care yesterday, they told me to go to the store today to exchange my phone.  The customer service person argued with me that I would have the same problems even if I exchanged the phone.  This has been a very frustrating experience and after being a loyal "Apple" geek for many years, I'm seriously thinking about returning my IPhone 5 and getting a Samsung Galaxy S3!  This is totally unacceptable!  Tech support at Apple Care was great yesterday and that person actually listened to me unlike the two individuals at the Apple Store in Leawood, KS.  How do I file a complaint about the hassles at the Apple Store?

    Talk to the store manager.
    Regards.

    Bill,
    NO PHONE, NO SOLUTION AS OF TODAY 12/9/14
    You can add this to the previous post.  All the information should flow time wise.  I'm pretty sure I'll not hear back from you, since everyone is too busy to take ownership of this problem.  This started WAY before Black Friday and continues WAY after Black Friday.  I responded to Derald......AT NO TIME HAS THIS ACCOUNT BEEN IN QUESTION.  An address change at the bank  was needed on the card.  Even IF this account had not been paid in December IT WOULD NOT AFFECT THE OCTOBER REPAIR!  How dare Best Buy use that tactic as yet another ploy!
    11/26/14 – As of today after I posted to Facebook Brian {removed per forum guidelines}, Market Service Manager, is aware of this issue. Brian {removed per forum guidelines} is obviously someone with enough clout to resolve this issue (I believe he is a regional or district manager).

    ****Derald asked that I “Please reply at your earliest convenience”. Wonder how inconvenient it is to resolve this issue for these folks!!
    12/1/14 5:05 PM – Nichole called me back. Nichole has still NOT received any information to be able to resolve this issue. Nichole is THE ONLY PERSON at Best Buy or Geeksquad that has bothered to contact me or help me in any way. Her hands are obviously tied.
    12/2/14 Michael {removed per forum guidelines} – I CALLED, yet again, to the Garner, NC Best Buy and asked for Nichole. After being on hold quite some time, Michael {removed per forum guidelines} come on the line and tells me that he has NO NEWS about this problem!! Nichole has obviously sent my call to him rather than answer me. Michael states that he WAS GOING TO CALL TODAY (this call was made late afternoon). Still no phone OR anyone with enough sense to be able to get through the system and figure this out.
    12/2/14 4:45 PM – Nichole calls me and tells me that XXXX’s credit card needs to be updated in order to process this claim…….WHAT?????????? So, we run to the bank before they close (note the time) and get the credit card address information updated. We have recently moved and I have been telling whoever I talk to about that in case the REPLACEMENT phone had been sent to the wrong address. REMEMBER, the first empty box came to the NEW ADDRESS. Also, I gave the NEW ADDRESS to Michael {removed per forum guidelines} yesterday!!!
    12/2/14 5:?? PM – I called Nichole to let her know that the credit card address had been updated today. She was looking for a way to email someone to let them know, because she had NO OTHER way to contact the escalation team, no phone number…..REALLY?

    Hello jlippard-
    I absolutely apologize for the lateness of this response.  We are extremely backlogged from the holiday and Black Friday and trying to catch up.
    It certainly sounds like you are experiencing an extremely frustrating situation and I am truly sorry to hear about the issues going on with your phone.  I saw that you had also reached out to us through our Facebook channel and my colleague Derald was able to respond to you.  I believe that he is waiting on some information from you to proceed, so if you have not yet replied to him, I would encourage you to do so.  Hopefully he can help you sort this all out and reach a resolution for you.
    Thanks for connecting with us.
    Sincerely,
    Bill
    Seems they are too busy (really, since October) to handle this and one hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing. I had already responded to Derald and have received NO RESPONSE BACK.
    12/5/14 – Afternoon – STILL NO PHONE HAS ARRIVED AND NO ONE HAS CALLED! I called Nichole, Geeksquad Manager, Garner, NC Best Buy. Note that Nichole is the MANAGER! Nichole has received notification that they are TRYING TO SOLVE THE ISSUE! I’m very angry at this point! Up until this call, I have been very respectful AND extremely patient! I said to Nichole “what do I need to do at this point, call the media? WRAL 5 On Your Side? This is BEYOND belief! THE ABSOLUTE WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED! Nichole agreed that I have been respectful and patient and that SHE would also be very angry. Nichole said she would be angry as a Mother and as a customer.
    12/8/14 - WELL BLESS MY SOUL! A package arrived today to the OLD ADDRESS! The box is EMPTY, NO PHONE! Nichole had previously told me that the “escalation team” was going to RE-CREATE” the service order. Nichole told me this WOULD NOT WORK BECAUSE THERE IS NO PHONE TO RETURN. They already have the phone! I call Nichole, Geeksquad Manager, Best Buy in Garner, NC. Nichole, with an big ‘ole attitude, tells me that because I said I needed to contact the media, she could no longer discuss this with me or help me. Nichole told me to call 1-888-Bestbuy.
    12/8/14 4:04 PM – 888-BestBuy - Rebecca in sales department. Rebecca put me on hold for a bit trying to get a manager to help me. She was obviously concerned after pulling up this account and seeing just how bad the customer service has been. With Rebecca being in sales, I guess she gets it. Rebecca hands me off to Catherine. Catherine apologized for the way I’ve been treated and seems to be very concerned about this as well (some I’ve spoken with seem concerned, but NO ONE can ACT – the GM in Garner NEVER SEEMED CONCERNED). Catherine tells me that it would be a good idea to go to the UPS store and get them to track the phone sent on 11/5/14! Really…we have been told the phone was received! We have also been told the serial number did not match…….. Catherine tells me that it is NORMAL that the serial number doesn’t match if there has been prior repairs (which there has been). ANOTHER PROMISE TO CALL BACK IN 24 TO 48 HOURS. Another day……….. NO PHONE, NO RESOLUTION!
    47 DAYS, 30 documented phone conversations (some not even documented), MANY EMPTY promises of a CALL BACK, Delayed or NO email responses and COUNTLESS hours (mine and theirs) NO RESOLUTION from anyone!!! Paying for a SmartPhone plan for going on 2 months with NO SMARTPHONE! The amount of time they have wasted taking my calls would equate to just giving me a new phone! My time would equate to 3 new phones. The amount spent on a phone plan service that can’t be used is ridiculous. This Geeksquad plan is and has been in good standing for the entire duration of this issue. The madness just doesn’t stop!
    The amount of money WASTED on this one issue is unbelievable! Corporate Best Buy and Geeksquad are spending untold thousands of dollars with POOR MANAGEMENT such as this and passing on the expense to the consumer!!
    If you're planning on shopping/purchasing at #bestbuy or using #geeksquad this holiday season, consider this post on customer service. Imagine how you would feel if a family member or friend had to deal with this type of service, especially for a gift!!!

  • Where do I file a complaint about attempting to procure a replacemen​t phone?

    I was put through the wringer over the last few days trying to procure a replacement phone.
    I purchased 4 each 4s Iphones approximately 2 years ago and also purchased geek squad warrenties for each.
    1) Best Buy sent me home to do it myself.  They no longer take care of replacing phones at the store.
    2) At home, I had trouble finding my account on line.  My account was not entered correctly under my wifes name and phone number as listed on the warrenty reciept.  It turns out, my name, not hers, was entered for the account, and furthermore, it was my sons phone however my son's phone was entered incorrectly (two digets switched)
    3) After an hour of being on hold, being dropped twice, and having trouble hearing through horrible phone connections with customer service, telling my story over and over, with help, I made it to the screen that requested my phones IMEI.  It didn't work.  More calls, more story telling, and more sketchy service determines that my phone's IMEI number was entered incorrectly in the database.  It was missing the last number.
    4) I then make it to the Verizon page and my information won't take.  I get locked out after 3 trys.  The geek squad service rep is trying to tell me to input the phone number that I needed replaced.  Wrong.  It needs to be my billing phone number.  She's locked out too.  So, se tells me she'll push it through and I can call a geek number when I recieve my phone, and they will manually activate it.
    5) My phone arrives.  More story telling, transfers, dropped connections, bad static peanuts music, and I finally reach a person who seems to know how to help me.  But he can't.  My bill is past due.  My son purchased a phone, and my automatic payment didn't cover it.  He can't help me.  He recommends that I call verizon directly.
    6) I call verizon.  They can't help me becuase Best buy sent me a "non verizon" phone.  It's not on their list.  "This happens some times with Best Buy"  Bring it to a store, talk to a manager, tell them the problem, and they should pull another phone off the shelf, a verizon phone, and activate it for me.
    7) I go to Best Buy, second time.  I'm actually going to upgrade three phones, but I need this one preplaced so I can recieve the 100 bucks.  I talked the manager.  He won't help.  He says there is nothing he can do.  I left, went to a verizon store, and ordered three new Iphones.
    8)  I get home and try again to activate my replacement phone.  I am dropped twice while on hold.  On the third call, a service rep that seems to know what he's doing calls verizon.  Verizon won't activate it.  The customer rep tells me to go back to the store again, talk to the manager, and tell him to verify the imei number, verify the phone is a best buy phone, call verizon, and get my phone activated, and if he doesn't, then get the managers name, store number, and best buy will begin an investigation.
    9) So I visit the bust buy store again.  The third time.  I talk to the manager.  He has no clue.  He calls over a sales rep to take care of it.  The sales rep has no problems.   He activates the phone.  Why didn't he do this the first time. 
    Over the years I have purchased many items from Best Buy, -several tv's, home and car stereos, phones, ipods, and various electronics.  Database input was horrible, -made it impossible for me to accomplish procuring the phone by myself on line.  Your phone connections with the geek sqaud were horrible.  Most of the geeks squad didn't know how to handle my problem and kept transferring me, and dropping me.  The manager at the store didn't care, had to threaten him with an investigation.  I spent 3 neights and at least 6 hours on my computer and phone dealing with the geek squad, and had to make three trips to the Best buy store.  It's not right.  I would like to file a complaint.

    Hello fiasco5-
    Well, after reading through your post, your user name makes a lot more sense now.  The amount of hassles that you went through just to get your phone replaced through our Geek Squad Protection (GSP) plan is astounding and I applaud your patience in sticking with the process.
    While we certainly offer the option for the customer to process their exchange by shipping their replacement phone from and to their home, the stores should not be telling you that this is your only option.  They are also capable of still helping your process these express replacements and in your case, it sounds as though their help would have been invaluable in avoiding many of the issues your experienced.  I absolutely apologize for the frustrations and amount of time you personally had to take to get this resolved.  I’m glad to hear that ultimately we did get the phone activated and ready for your use.
    I’d like to make sure that we get the right store connected with this incident so that this can be reviewed by the store’s upper management, so I’m going to send you a private message to collect those details.  You can check your private messages by logging into the forum and clicking on the envelope in the upper right hand corner.
    Look for that message soon!

  • How can I lodge a complaint about Adobe Flash Player?

    How can I lodge a complaint about Adobe Flash Player? When I updated Adobe Flash Player this morning it also installed a McAfee scanning software without any warning or notification. I find this totally unacceptable. But I cannot find any information on the Adobe website that will allow me to lodge my complaint. Which I also find totally unacceptable.
    Ho hum.

    This is a an old complaint. I would have thoughtas much bad karma as Adobe has received would have stopped this practice espcially since it found that many time McAfeee either gets protection signatures wrong or cause more problems than it fixes.
    I don't know whether mailto:[email protected] is still effective.
    At one time a disgruntled Adobe products user created a FaceBook or twitter page. And many in past have claimed when there complaints got ignored or laughed at by Adobe. They suddenly got action whe airring their complaint on this FaceBook or Twitter page.
    There should be a big warning Box stating:
    Adobe is about to install a package Called McAfee  on your computer. If you do not wish to instal click checkmark here.
    Do you wish have Adobe install Products not requested on your computer yes__  or no__ please use a √
    And to adhere to wishes of the customer.

  • Microsoft support. Please help file a complaint about abuse of microsoft account support and peoples personal data.

    I was receiving technical support from the support phone number from a person in India.
    He began to ask me personal questions not related to the software and while he was asking these questions while working for Microsoft he was on another computer and website taking a paid survey for giving my personal information.
    I hung up the phone even though he attempted to call back.
    Who do I file a complaint with over the abuse and misuse of my personal information and account?

    Unfortunately your post is off topic here, in the MSDN Subscriptions feedback forum, because it is not feedback regarding the MSDN Subscription. This is a standard response I’ve written up in advance to help many people (thousands, really.) who
