How Do I register a complaint against the terrible Adobe Customer Service Chat line

I waited for over an hour and a half to speak to an expert this morning about a problem I have with my newly purchased Light Room 5bought and installed 2 days ago. I can't get the Plug in manager to work without the Add buttom shutting down the applcation with an error message .
The expert Prianka could not answer the question and asked me to try again in about half an hour and speak with someone else !.
When I did , I found the Chat option greyed out and unavailable due to high demand ! This is not acceptable from such a big and well established Company .
I am still waiting patiently nearly 5 hours later to resolve my problem.
Adobe should increase its resources for online support for newly bought products and facilitate a priority email or chat on-line complaints servce that better needs the needs of its Customers
Can a manager at Adobe please respond to this question with ba prompt and positive outcome or give me a refund please
Thanks

How to register a complaint against apple dealers?

I want to register a complaint against F1 solutions (Place - Kanpur), an authorized apple dealer who claimed my charger(both adapter and data cable) as fake and added that they won't cover it under warranty. The charger which they claimed to be fake was the same charger which i got during the purchase of my mobile.

Urgent complaint against the company for the game (Call of War 2)

HI Apple Customer
I want to lodge a complaint against the company for the game Call of War 2 where they were paid large sums of money to buy gold from within the game , and the problem is that the game does not work properly in this talk to my complaint on behalf of a lot of people affected by this game
The beginning of my problem with them is that I paid $ 10 dollars to buy gold from within the game and did not I receive gold and filed a complaint and you 've Pthoila link to the company and the amount demanded , but did not recover to now
Second, you then ship went at least $ 200 in order to increase my points within the game , but what happened unlooked
Where she lost a lot of points in the game through suspension compulsory in the game during the winning entry for the battle where the message appears ( There was an error in the game and is being re- loaded (
Causing heavy losses to me where I went in the amounts paid by the wind
I am not the only one suffering from this problem , but all the players in the game and what they are Arabs and our own website in English , they do not know how to make a complaint to you
Of the problems that I face when I entered I battle to download and try to destroy the enemy soldiers and earn points .. got an error message appears and the game is being re- uploaded because of this and lost a lot of points
In contrast, the enemy attacked by Ali and win and take the points, losing my points from both sides , not only one side
To prove that you have attached pictures
In addition to this when my complaint is they do not respond quickly , and that was answered say that Gary solve the problem for them and what has not been nearly two weeks to solve the problem
The tickets are closing the complaint without my consent and my advice so
Lost in the game nearly 100 points and lost a lot of mattresses because of their problems and in spite of my claim Ptaubi but they do not care about it any attention , where only care about attracting players to buy gold through without paying attention to the daily announcements technical support and solving problems of the game
Picture number one shows the attack, which I've done and lost it , and the reason is that the game is stopped and failed landing soldiers what caused the loss of points
The second picture shows the defense so that also lost a lot of points
I can not attack while the other players came to heavy losses and lost
I hope compensatory and accounting problems that the company did not end
And to you my thanks and appreciation

I would like to know how to contact someone in Verizon corporate to file a complaint. I have received the absolute WORST customer service over the last week from this company! The customer service agents promise to call me back and then never do. The la

Verizon Wireless has the absolute worst customer service I have ever received. The in store reps are unprofessional and spend more time texting and taking personal cell phone calls than in helping customers. They are not at all knowledgeable and even state they do not know what they are doing. When you call customer service you get jerked around and passed from one person to the next with no one knowing how to fix my billing issue. I have received NO call backs that were promised and the latest person I spoke to was incredibly rude. Sanita from Sacramento refused to even give me her last name or the last name of her Manager Nick so that I could follow up. I am incredibly disappointed at how poorly I have been treated. I will make sure to tell everyone I know about this experience and as soon as my contract has expired I WILL be leaving Verizon services after 10 years with the company!!

This is a customer to customer forum, so this is not the place.
What is going on with your account? maybe we can help you.

How and where to file complaint against Verizon's customer service?

I hate it that I had no one to give my business to other than Verizon in my area.
I've had Verizon in early 2000s when FiOS was first available in my area, but the speed sucks so I was better off switching back to dial-up.
Many years have passed so I thought I would try Verizon again as I've heard good things about them. I signed up for the bundle service in 2012, and it's been an internet living hell when you're paying $140 every month and had to struggle daily to get connected onto the slow internet that takes 3minutes to load Google search page if you're lucky (my plan is 50/25).
I've had no internet connectivity on the 2nd floor of my house and I've contacted Verizon many times about it.
First time I'm told the router they provided could cover 100K range, so the problem might be the internet speed. I naively believed them and upgraded my service and got myself locked for another 2year nightmare.
Second time I contacted them I'm told their router could only provide good connectivity if you're within 20ft range. Intersting enough the tech who first installed the modem placed it at the farthest corner of the home that's tucked away from the rest of the house. I already told him that the internet sucked when I had Verizon FiOS when it first came out, but he said let's try place it there. So I think it's only reasonable to have Verizon to send someone to check and see if relocating the modem would solve my problem. The rep told me that can be done at a $154.98 service fees, all the same time does not guarantee that the internet issue will be fixed.
The online customer service person I spoke to has shown no regards on HELPING me to SOLVE the problem; she sounded like she just wants to set up an appointment, collect the service fees, and be done with me. This is not the kind of customer service I expect from a respected carrier. I'm just a frustrated user who wishes the service provider could provide some kind of assistant on helping me utilizing their product. The customer service reps I spoke to has reflected poorly on Verizon, and it certainly tells me you guys don't care about your customers since I'm already trapped in a crappy contract, which you'll get the monthly fee or the termination fees, one way or another. Also, your reps are giving out conflicting and false information. And I'm left on my own to figure out a way to deal with this internet mess. I will be an advocate on the bad experience I've had with Verizon, and as soon as other companies start offering high speed internet in my area, I'll switch in a heartbeat and encourage all my neighbors and friends to give their business to someone who might care a little bit more about their customers.

I feel your pain. That is why we left them ............could not stand the poor customer service either. By the way, we have netflix. Although we had the step up internet connection, netflix was frequently buffering, ot the point that it was not watchable. When we switched over to a known long island competitor, netflix operated like a rocket. So that means I was paying for faster internet connection and getting much less than I paid for.
Good luck.

How can I use aperture after receiving the full adobe suite? It won't allow me to use it.

How can I use aperture after receiving the full adobe suite? It won't allow me to use it. I receive a dialogue box which states previews are not allowed in aperture and the application is shut down.

Aperture is Apples version of Lightroom. This has nothing to do with Adobe. Ask on a Apple forum. You won't find many people here using this program.

I reached my 1000th hour logged on the phone with customer service

I've been using Verizon jetpacks for 9 months now. Seemed like a sweet deal. Prepaid. Convenient. Fast and reliable. WRONG! I logged my 1000th hour on the phone with customer service today after a 5 hour "troubleshooting" session, second one this week. I've been having to make this exact 5 hour phone call every week sometimes up to 4x per week. I've never spent less than 3 hours on the phone or gone more than 4 days without having to contact customer "service." Naturally, this is pretty ignorant sounding. But, I paid $100 for a significantly small amount of data. I prepaid to be exact. For a service to be rendered one must be able to receive the service paid for. That's simply not the case. I paid $100 for this data already and can't actually use it with any convenience. Unless of course, 5-20 per week on the phone with customer service is typical of any other company. Other than Virgin Mobile, No. It's in fact an extremely absurd amount time for ANY customer to spend on the phone with ANY customer service. No exception. I feel rather abused, used and ****** over by this so call "service". I lost 6 clients. They all sued me in small claims for $3000 each for failing to maintain my end due to my weekly dose of hours on the phone with customer service and NOT doing the job I was employed to do. Nope. Instead, I spent my time with Verizon Customer Service and COURT! Yay! So, I've lost my home, my car was repo'd, $18k loss, 6 customers... and not one time has Verizon spent one second and said to me "Verizon could be the problem"... NEVER has that been the case in all 1000 hours logged. Interesting? No. Just abusive. I resent having to call customer service at all any more. It's even causing my mental health to suffer after all this. You know what is found every time? I'm on a prepaid plan on a device customer service told me to purchase. But wait... thats the second device. Every week I'm told The OTHER device is the one that works with this plan... then a few days later, no that other device is the one that works with the plan, a few days later... The OTHER DEVICE IS THE ONE THAT WORKS.. FFS. See a pattern? I've been directed by Verizon to replace my device 3 times, at $100+ per device plus the $10 sim card, plus the 5 hours on the phone with them every few days. I'd say there's an issue with customer service. First, yes it IS possible there is an issue on YOUR end. I'm pretty sure that having to buy a new device every time I call isn't really the best answer. Second, for the extremely limited amount of data I can't afford to watch a video for fear of capping my data before the end of the 30 days because its 10gig of data. Yeah, 2 whole movies worth! Third, its possible to be wrong, yet Verizon has never, not one single time chose to check their end. ALWAYS and ONLY my end. I don't find that surprising or ironic, I find it the most ignorant and worst customer service in existence only second to Virgin Mobile. Virgin mobile did finally acknowledge the issue was in the broken tower nearby. It took them 6 months and yes... 100's of hours on the phone. Verizon hasn't made any effort to accept responsibility for this issue. I'm sure they are very sincere when they are consuming my 5 hours per phone call trouble shooting my device for the third time this week. It's actually to the point where they have violated their terms of service and failed to look into an issue on their end. The tower has been hit. Hmmm... Ironic. Its quite a distance from here, but is a main tower that has caused an outage across my state. Verizon couldnt tell me that? Is that admitting your wrong so hard to do that it's easier to spend 5 hours on the phone trouble shooting my device than 5 mins looking for outages? Yeah, it could have saved my house and job, but I'm the customer... clueless idiot at the mercy of a company who is never wrong nor makes an effort to correct an issue on their end before stealing my hours from me. At one point, I actually fell asleep in my 2nd hour on hold. Customer service? Nope, a waste. I could dig it if this issue was on my end, but I'm confident that spending up to 20 hours a week troubleshooting to no avail is a HUGE red flag that its not on my end after all. Only cost me a house, a job, car and $18k plus court costs and fees. Fair? Nope. But it would be nice if just ONCE there was an initiative to provide actual support to a customer. I KNOW if this is my experience it is impossible to be an isolated incident with me alone. If I'm tying up 5 hours on the phone, what is the next guy doing? waiting to trouble shoot his box for the next 5 hours over a downed tower. Pride is what that is. People too proud to be wrong at someone else's expense. Definitely an issue if I've paid $900 in 9 months and I spent more hours on the phone with customer service than I have online. Pretty ******. Verizon, you ARE WRONG. Owning it would save the embarrassment of having to ***** about it on this site. I didnt' deserve my losses and it was at my expense and it is STILL at my expense that I'm having to contact that 888-294-6804 number. I've got it memorized like it was my best friends number - that's how often and how many times i've used it. Shame how simple it would be if Verizon wasn't so ******* proud and spent a few moments looking for issues on their end before stealing 5 hours from me doing the obvious over and over and over again... Small claims can be used to sue up to $3k. Looks like that's my only alternative, perhaps if I do that maybe checking for issues on their end will occur instead of pretending its impossible. It feels like I went to mcd's and paid for a meal at the window that took 5 hours to get a bag of raw patties thrown at me from inside after sitting at the window for 5 hours and waiting. I'm wrong of course. I'm am the customer. How could I possibly be right? I've troubleshooted my device over 1000 times. Of course its on my end. Must be.... 1000 times isn't enough to find out there's a potential issue that isn't related to my specific device, no? Is it gonna take 1000 more hours on the phone before one of the representatives decide to look for an outage before the 5 hours of daily trouble shooting? Thats a huge red flag that just keeps getting ignored. I can't think of any other companies besides these two internet providers that finds that acceptable. Better Business Bureau didn't. I'll be filing that complaint with them next. High time Verizon stepped off such a prideful pedestal and seek a remedy before a class action suit sinks them in the future from all other raging bitches not being provided with reasonable service. It's not a rant, this has been a life shattering experience for me and a simple quick check for an issue on their end could have prevented it. BAD BAD BAD Customer service policies to keep a customer on the phone for that length of time to repetitiously check the exact same thing repeatedly every few days. Disgusted. How dare that term "service" even be used if they can't provide "service" via support or otherwise. I'm on the internet finally after 10 hours and the news reported the Verizon tower down. Not verizon... A police officer interviewed on a Detroit News station instead. God knows police have nothing better to do in Detroit than make news appearances for verizon.

Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
In my city small claims is $5000.00
And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

Adobe Customer Service Complaint (CS4 Master Collection)

Hi, I'm new to the forum but I have been browsing it a lot recently in reference to an ongoing issue of mine. I've largely given up on my original problem right now as I've been in touch with Adobe Customer Support no fewer than five times - online and over the phone - to little avail or respite. Instead, I'm making this post just to get it out in the open how DISGUSTED I am with the quality of customer support offered by Adobe and add to the HOARD of complaints already up here.
Before anyone jumps in and tells me what I already know, I do realise that this is a community forum and it's not a place for voicing issues with the company. However, seeing as this forum is that which comes up on google most predominantly (complaints included), I figured it was the best shout at getting my issue heard by the world at large. This is especially seeing as I've already sent my complaint to the 'official' adobe support email address, but given my current faith in their ability to respond to customer issues and complaints, I'm not exactly expecting anything useful in response to my letter - as you might figure from what I have written below.
Anyway, as such, consider this post either a consolidation or an emphatic shoutout to anyone who also has major grievances with Adobe's pathetic and totally unsupportive support system.
Dear Sandesh,
I am writing to make a formal complaint about the way in which several members of your staff have handled a case of mine recently. For your reference, the case numbers opened by your staff members are #0212480723, #0212621543 and #0212612935. Also, find attached at the bottom of this letter two separate online conversations that I had with your staff members within 24 hours. I am frustrated to even have to quote you three separate case files seeing as each of them relate to only one case, yet for some reason, your staff members opted to open new cases each time I was in contact with them rather than add to or resolve the cases already opened on my behalf. This is a ridiculous way to run a support company that is not at all focused on the customer at all.
Furthermore, I say staff “members” simply because on the 5 separate instances that I was in contact with Adobe Customer Support, I spoke to a new support administrator each time. Not only is this incredibly frustrating in itself, but the simple issue that none of your staff members seemed at all capable of referring to notes made by previous staff members, which meant that each and every time I had to chase my case up I was forced to go through the entire process of explaining the problem to every person I spoke to – either online or on the phone.
This meant that I had to waste time to accommodate your staff’s incompetence by continuously explaining my serial number problems. If only ONE of your staff members had proved capable of writing decent, comprehensive notes about my calls and only ONE of them had proved capable to read the notes made then I would have been to save HOURS of my own time and HOURS waiting to hear back from your team about my issue.
Not only this, but on three separate occasions I was promised a call back and/or email response to my problems within 24 hours of getting in touch with Adobe Customer Support. This was after two of your staff members told me that my case had been ‘escalated’ to a higher department as they did not have the means to deal with and investigate my problem correctly. Needless to say, none of these responses from the higher department actually occurred otherwise I would not have had to get in touch repeatedly. I am absolutely disgusted that multiple members of your staff made these assurances to me and for NOT A SINGLE ONE of them to follow through. On the second occasion where I was assured my case had been escalated to the higher department, I repeatedly asked the support administrator what the name of the higher department is and who my contact from the department would be and the administrator totally evaded my questions, simply telling me that I would hear back within 24 hours.
As I’m sure you can guess, I did NOT hear back in 24 hours. As such, I went onto Adobe Live Support again and spoke to Nakul. Rather than explaining why my case had not been handled in the way that was promised, Nakul simply dodged all of my questions and decided to treat my case as if it were brand new. As such, I had to go through the motions again of explaining my serial number problems, only for him to ignore them and – unlike the previous 4 people I had spoken to – decide that he DID, in fact, have the answer. Rather than actually help me, however, he opted to simply tell me that my product was unsupported because of where I bought my product from.
Having already uploaded my receipt of purchase and not received anything from Adobe by way of response, I feel that Nakul’s not-so-solution was beyond unacceptable. Firstly, because if Nakul is right, then WHY weren’t your other staff members capable of telling me this beforehand? Secondly, because if Nakul is wrong – as the previous members of staff would have led me believe – then it is totally inappropriate for him to have to completely dodged my original issue in favour of simplifying it by telling me he couldn’t do anything. In the end, it seems that Nakul has opted to ‘withdraw’ all of my cases DESPITE MY SPECIFIC, REPEATED REQUESTS THAT HE DID NOT DO SO as I was not at all satisfied in the way he had concluded my case. I AM INFURIATED AND INSULTED BY THIS.
The sheer inconsistency, incompetence and laziness displayed by all of your staff members in relation to my issue is COMPLETELY APPALLING. I have never been so stressed or insulted in attempting to get a problem resolved in my entire life. Because of your DISGUSTING way of treating your customers, I have LOST OVER A MONTH’S work time through having to compensate entirely for the way your team handles problems. EVEN NOW, MY PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED AND I HAVE HAD TO GIVE UP. Given that your team solely deals in customer support, I FAIL to see how they can be so APPALLING at their work and how they have not been reprimanded already – especially given the quite ASTOUNDING volume of complaints about Adobe Customer Support already published throughout the internet.
I have included my last conversation with Nakul for your reference to see my level of frustration in this conversation. I ask that you read it to see where I am coming from. Naturally, however, by this stage, however reasonable courteous I feel that this is, I completely do not expect you to offer me anything by way of apology or assurance, or even to offer me some kind of sound solution to my problem. However, you can guarantee that I will be adding this complaint letter to the Adobe community forums whatever your response – or not – just to emphasise that it is certainly time that SOMEONE in Adobe does SOMETHING about the way its horrific support service is run.

Hi, we are currently helping other customers in line ahead of you. We'll be with you as soon as possible.
While you wait, you can try our community forums where experts are online 24/7.
You are now chatting with Biswaranjan. To ensure we stay connected throughout our interaction , please don't click on the 'x' in the chat window. Doing so will disconnect our chat session.
Charlotte : Hello
Biswaranjan: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
Biswaranjan: Hi Charlotte.
Charlotte : Hi, thanks
Biswaranjan: I am sorry for the delay.
Charlotte : That's fine. To save some time, please may I ask you to refer to the details currently held for case 212480723
Charlotte : As this support request is a continuation of this case
Biswaranjan: I will definitely help with this issue.
Biswaranjan: Please allow me 2-3 minutes while I check the case number for you.
Charlotte : No problem
Biswaranjan: Thank you.
Charlotte : Not a problem. In short, I am contacting you because in spite of my phoning Adobe Customer Support twice since the case was opened, I have yet to hear anything in response.
Charlotte : This is despite being told by the second individual that the priority of my case had been upgraded to a high level and that I would receive a phone call from the technical support team within 24-48 hours after they had done some investigation into my issue.
Charlotte : Obviously, this is very frustrating for me as it is impeding my work presently.
Charlotte : I am currently using Adobe CS4 Master Collection on a trial basis and the trial will shortly run out, which will obviously bring my work to a halt.
Charlotte : As such, I am very keen to get an answer to my issue and incredibly disappointed by Adobe Customer Support so far, as I feel like I am being misled or ignored.
Biswaranjan: I apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Charlotte : Thank you. Obviously I understand that this is not your fault personally, but it is appreciated nonetheless.
Charlotte : More importantly, of course, I just need this issue resolved ASAP
Biswaranjan: I'll be right with you.
Biswaranjan: Thank you for waiting. One moment please.
Charlotte : That's fine.
Biswaranjan: Sorry for the wait. Please do stay online.
Biswaranjan: Thank you for staying online.
Biswaranjan: I checked and see that the serial number you have provided is invalid. Since you have purchased the product from eBay.com, in this case I will suggest you to please contact the reseller to get the valid serial number.
Charlotte : I have done this already. I have already spoken with the seller at considerable length, and he has provided me with the original receipt of purchase and confirmed that he has no other serial number available.
Charlotte : Again, I have already told other members of Adobe's Customer Support this. The first support administrator assured me that by providing the original receipt of purchase (which I have already done), I would be sent a new, valid serial number by Adobe.
Charlotte : After hearing nothing from them again, the second support administrator told me that he would chase the case up to higher technicians/'investigators' who would get back to me in 24-48 hours. This was last week and I have yet to hear anything.
Biswaranjan: I'll be right with you.
Biswaranjan: Thank you for waiting. One moment please.
Biswaranjan: Sorry for the wait. Please do stay online.
Charlotte : That's not a problem. I will stay online.
Biswaranjan: Thank you for staying online.
Biswaranjan: In this case I need to escalate the issue to the higher department so that they can assist you with the issue. Is that okay with you?
Charlotte : It is okay with me, yes. However, I have already been promised this by another Customer Support advisor and I have yet to hear anything. As such, I'm sure you will understand that I am sceptical that this will resolve anything/
Charlotte : As such, I would appreciate some contact details for this department/higher advisor in the event that I need to get in touch with them
Biswaranjan: I will assure that you will get the resolution with 24 hours.
Charlotte : Okay. Regardless, please could you tell me the name of this higher department and or the advisor that I will be dealing with? Also, will I hear from them via phone or email?
Biswaranjan: Once I escalate the issue you will get the resolution via an email within 24 hours.
Charlotte : Very well. Please could you confirm this for me by updating my case file on the Adobe Support Centre accordingly with all of these details
Charlotte : Including your own details, that is
Charlotte : Just for reference for who I have spoken to about this
Biswaranjan: You will get a case number for this conversation.
Charlotte : Will this include all the information I have asked for?
Biswaranjan: You will also get the whole chat conversation.
Charlotte : Thank you very much. This is very much appreciated.
Biswaranjan: You are welcome.
Biswaranjan: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Charlotte : In which case, if in the event that I have not heard anything by 10:
Charlotte : 30am GMT tomorrow, I will phone Adobe Customer support directly
Charlotte : And quote this case number and conversation
Charlotte : No, that will be all for today, thank you very much for your help
Charlotte : I look forward to hearing a response from your higher department
Biswaranjan: It was pleasure assisting you.
Biswaranjan: You may receive an email that will contain a link to complete an optional survey to provide your feedback on the support experience. Your feedback is very much appreciated.
Biswaranjan: Thank you for contacting Adobe. We are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Goodbye!
Charlotte : Thank you. Good bye
This chat session has ended.
Thank you for contacting Adobe.

Nakul: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
Charlotte : Hello Nakul
Nakul: Hello Charlotte
Charlotte : Please may I ask you to refer to the cases numbered stated
Nakul: Let me check on that case.
Charlotte : CaseS. Plural.
Nakul: Thank you for waiting. One moment please.
Nakul: I'll be right with you.
Charlotte : Right, well. Whilst you're investigating, I will tell you my situation.
Charlotte : I am incredibly disappointed and infuriated with Adobe Customer Service at the moment. One TWO SEPARATE OCCASSIONS I have been told that my case has been escalated to a mythical 'higher department' and that I will receive a response to my serial number issues within 24 hours
Charlotte : As you will see, my first case was opened at the end of February and it is still marked as 'Pending Adobe Response' and as of yet I have yet to hear anything of substance
Charlotte : I will state clearly right now that I DO NOT WANT YOU TO CLOSE EITHER CASE
Nakul: I understand.
Nakul: May I know where did you purchased the product?
Charlotte : And instead, I would like to know the exact NAME of this higher department and a contact number
Charlotte : You would be able to find out by checking the receipt attached to my case
Charlotte : The point is that I already know you will not be able to help me with this issue - hence why my cases have been escalated by the higher department - and so I wish to be put in touch with the higher department immediately
Charlotte : I am FED UP of running around in circles at this level and answering the same questions REPEATEDLY
Charlotte : I apologise to hit out at you personally like this, but I just want to get in touch with someone who can actually and actively HELP ME instead of making empty promises
Nakul: Sorry for the wait. Please do stay online.
Nakul: I checked and see that you have purchased the product from eBay and reseller who has sold this has purchased the serial number from TOPPER GLOBAL LIQUIDATORS INTERNATIONAL.
Charlotte : You are correct
Nakul: In this case you need to contact Ebay. As this was not direct purchase from authorized reseller.
Charlotte : This is not what I have been told before
Charlotte : This includes what I have been told by other Adobe customer support agents on Live Chat and over the phone
Nakul: No I am sorry, there was little confusion about point of purchase. As you have purchased from Ebay to need to contact Ebay if not the reseller from whom you have purchased.
Nakul: Iam sorry there are no other options.
Charlotte : And is the result of the investigation by the 'higher department'
Charlotte : Because if so, I want to know exactly WHY I have not received this already in writing from a named agent from Adobe
Charlotte : As this is what I was promised
Nakul: Yes, that is correct.
Charlotte : Forgive me if I do not trust the conclusions made by an agent at this level, after I have already been fobbed off and mislead by so many others
Charlotte : Please tell me WHY I have not received this in writing then before having to contact you again now
Charlotte : And may I just take the opportunity to point out that Adobe's customer service is without question THE WORST customer service I have ever had the mispleasure of having to endure
Nakul: I am really sorry, I truly understand your concern. You can send us the email to [email protected].
Charlotte : I will certainly do that
Charlotte : In the meantime, I request that you DO NOT CLOSE OR DELETE EITHER OF MY CASES
Charlotte : As I am firmly dissatisfied and mistrusting to the conclusion that you would have me believe
Nakul: Okay I will not close the case. You can mention the case number in the email also.
Charlotte : I have all of my previous conversations with adobe customer service agents in the past in writing, and the information you have given me directly contradicts what I have previously been told about investigations and responses
Charlotte : Furthermore I would like to point out that the serial number I have used to activate my product has come from an adobe sealed product
Charlotte : It has not been used before
Charlotte : And neither has it been fabricated
Charlotte : The box has an adobe barcode and seal and so I see no reason why Adobe cannot fulfill the promise already made to me that it would provide me with a valid serail number or a valid reason why this cannot be done
Charlotte Cartner: But regardless, I do not wish to discuss this with someone at this level
Nakul: I am sorry, as because the purchase was from Ebay we are not able to help in this issue.
Nakul: We do not support for the Ebay purchase products.
Charlotte : It's not an ebay product. It's an AUTHENTIC ADOBE PRODUCT
Charlotte : Adobe generated the serial number, so why on earth can the company not CORRECT IT
Charlotte : The serial number was ACCEPTED upon my initial activation of the product!
Charlotte : It was only AFTERWARDS that it was suddenly and magically decided that the serial number wasn't valid!
Nakul: I'll be right with you.
Nakul: I am sorry, In this chat itself you have mentioned that you have purchased from Ebay and hence you need to check with the point of purchase itself, there are no other options.
Charlotte : I have checked the point of purchase
Charlotte : But the bloody point is that the serial number was ACCEPTED, and then the activation server came back to me TWO DAYS LATER and said that 'LICENSING FOR THIS PRODUCT HAS EXPIRED'
Charlotte : Accordingly, this problem has LITERALLY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE POINT OF PURCHASE
Charlotte : It has to do with ADOBE
Charlotte : Do not try and rub me off onto some phony excuses to legitimise your support teams pure, ridiculous incompetence
Nakul: I am really sorry. I checked all the possibilities, there are no other options.
Charlotte : Somehow, I fail to believe this as again it DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS INFORMATION GIVEN TO ME BY OTHER CUSTOMER SUPPORT AGENTS
Charlotte : So which one should I believe? You or the first guy I spoke to, the second guy I spoke to, or the third?
Charlotte : Forgive me if I am dubious as to the validity of any claim you are making
Charlotte : You've taken the easiest conclusion to resolve this problem to your convenience
Charlotte : And by way of fact, you're totally ignoring what I'm telling you
Nakul: I am sorry for the wrong information provided by earlier agents. We do not support for the eBay orders as it is not an authorized reseller to Adobe.
Charlotte : Well, in which case, I insist on complaining about the other agents
Charlotte : I believe their names and or agent ID numbers should be marked in my case files
Nakul: Sure, you can send a complaint to [email protected].
Charlotte : I see no reason why my problem should have to be dragged out by FALSE INFORMATION provided by other agents
Charlotte : And NO. I want YOU to put me in touch with your departmental supervisor or manager
Nakul: I truly understand.
Charlotte : I will NOT ACCEPT a generic email address that bears no promise of a response or certified apology for all this aggrevating inconveneince
Charlotte : I want a NAME, a JOB TITLE, a PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESS and a UK phone number for whom I can address this complaint specifically to
Charlotte : As this is totally unacceptable. #
Nakul: We have one more email that directly goes to the manager, that is [email protected].
Charlotte : And what is the managers name?
Nakul: Sandesh, you can mention his name in the subject.
Charlotte : I'll mention it in the address line, thank you
Charlotte : And what is their phone number
Charlotte : And please may I also have their last/surname?
Nakul: I am sorry, we do not have the option to provide the contact number of Managers.
Charlotte : Then at least give me a surname
Nakul: His first and last name is Sandesh Acharya.
Charlotte : Thank you. Please inform him that he will be hearing from me very soon.
Nakul: Sure, I have already informed about this. You can send the email right away.
Charlotte : Thank you
Charlotte : That will be all
Charlotte : No, there is nothing else you can help me with today
Nakul: You are welcome Charlotte.
Charlotte : Thank you and good bye. Have a good day.
Nakul: Take Care Charlotte.
Nakul: I am really really sorry for this inconvenience.
Nakul: Thank you for contacting Adobe. We are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Goodbye!
Charlotte : Good bye

What ended up happening with this? I am simultaneously glad to know that someone else has gone through what I am in the midst of, and apprehensive to know the outcome as I feel like they will throw you around enough to the point that you either give up or they can cover their trail and delete the evidence of their wrongdoing and deceit! Ha, sounding like a conspiracy theorist. THANKS ADOBE, LOOK WHAT YOU'VE TURNED ME INTO!

Bt Infinity and the Lack of Customer Service

Hi all,
I have been sitting patiently waiting for my area to become connected to BT Infinity. According to the map on the BT products and services site, this should have happened on 31st December. I keep checking regularly and no updates.
So today, I took my life in my hands and went to the online customer 'service' where of course I was routed through to the call centre in India. I asked my question, IE when will it be coming. I explained my reason for asking..... and all I got quoted back was that it isn't available and they will let me know. Errr yes, I know that I explained.
For the love of God could we please bring customer services back to the UK where a basic understanding of questions and answers is available? If this was a one off with the call centres then I would be more understanding, but lets face it. It isn't a one off. When I say things like this, I get the nasty little devil on my shoulder whispering that I am some kind of heinous racist. I'm not.... I just want to be able to communicate with someone who understands the question and has the ability to say 'I don't know but I'll find out' as an answer. Rather than reading from a script and saying thankyou every other word..
Grrrrr fume fume.
So I thought I would send a complaint via the website. Guess what, the link for the customer service manager takes me back to exactly the same place I went to get the help in the first place.
I give up.

Hi there
I don't want be a moaning minnie but I have to agree about the appalling BT Customer service. I had Infinity installed (quickly) 3 weeks ago. There is a problem with my throughput so my download speed is less than 2 MB/s. Dealing with BTIndia is like being trapped in an endless Kafka play. Polite, apologetic and UTTERLY USELESS!!!! 21 days of being passed from department to department, have my case "escalated" to a higher level (how many levels of escalation are there anyway?) and nothing is done. Endless pointless promises unfullfilled. The irritating dire quality of this so-called "Support" has long since supassed the irritation caused by the initial fault. IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM DON'T PROMISE THAT YOU CAN!!!!!
I pray that you have a faultless installation and service because you sure as **bleep** don't want to deal with their "Customer Service"
Sorry. Are you picking up a certain degree of frustration?
Good Luck
Mark

Appalled by the lack of customer service - NEW PHONE is DEFECTIVE

I was leaving for California at the end of July and needed a battery for my Galaxy Note 2. There were none to be found. Verizon agreed to allow me early upgrade to the Galaxy Note 3. After daily phone conversations with customer service, I finally got my phone 4 days after it was to be shipped next day air. I had to pay $75 California tax and a $15 next day fee. I live in Massachusetts and although we are known as "Taxachusetts" - it would not have been that much if sent to my home. Needless to say, I get the phone and it is unable to hold a charge (not being used) for more than 8 hours. I called customer service at least 10 times for a matter of at least 8 hours and have no resolution. I cannot get a new phone because I am beyond the 2 week deadline - "Really?" at that point I had the phone for 3 1/2 weeks. I have a phone bill sitting on my table for $418.00 (to include equipment) - I will not pay for this phone until they send me a new one. I do not think that is unreasonable, yet, each of the 10 customer service and supervisors I spoke with told me that is not possible - no one could do that for me...Look, all I want is a phone that works and VERIZON WILL NOT ASSIST ME WITH THIS SITUATION!!! I have been a customer for a long time and am absolutely appalled by the lack of customer service!!! I am asking those on here for help. What carrier should I move to? Evidently Verizon does not need my service - and I am happy to share with my "Friends and Family" what a deceptive company this is. So what do you all suggest?

It's as my original messages states. After taking the iPhone5 to a verizon store and being told is was a known defect with the screen, we sent the phone back and received a refurbished phone. After weeks, we were sent an email with a picture imbedded that would not display. It stated the phone had internal damage. We certainly would not have returned the phone had we not been instructed to do so by Verizon or if it was damaged. We requested to send the refurbished IPhone back - we would have rather paid for a brand new phone than $300 for a refurbished one. We were told we could not. Beyond this - the support was unreal. The first person we spoke stated there was zero record of our original call to support to return the phone although our detailed calling bill showed a 35 min call. Three calls later and no one was able to show us the damange, prove it was our phone, etc. I'm not convinced this isnt some sham to get more money to be honest. We've been with you for 10 years. I do not want to pay for a refurbished phone especially when a verizon tech instructed us to send the original back due to a defect.

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

How Do I register a complaint against the terrible Adobe Customer Service Chat line
