I wish to make a formal complaint about when i called through to your customer support department.

I never make formal complaints but i feel really compelled to do so right now because I was so upset by the service I recieved I wasted 2hours and I even broke out in hives I was so fustrated. It was really annoying when I was speaking to the lady because she kept going away from the conversation after I was answering a question. I would answer her request/question then sit there waiting for her to communicate back and the line was silent after approx a min I would say "hello?" and she then would continue with the conversation. Or the line would go silent for ages and after sitting there I would say "is anyone there?" and she would again continue the conversation. I felt like she was very very distracted as she still didn't seem to understand what i wanted after 24mins!!!! I was thinking maybe she's talking to someone, maybe shes trying to have lunch or maybe she's reading a really good book at the same time??? What every she was doing she wasn't helping me and she wasn't listening to me. My problem was a relatively easy one. I just needed to get past the "Adobe Acrobat Trial" popup as it didn't find my installatiion of my new purchased Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
After listening to your hold music till I wanted to scream I hung up and continued to try and solve the problem myself online. Luckily I found the "Live Chat Help" a customer service officer (I think his name was Punhub- something like that) assisted me with professionalism and quickly. He made me feel maybe it will be ok to continue to purchase & use Adobe products, as after speaking to the girl on the phone I wanted to never use any Adobe products ever again.
This ended up to be a 3 hour ordeal instead of a 7 minute product installation and a 10min max customer support assistance (even though of course it would have been better if I didn't need to use customer support and my installation to have worked right, but i understand sometimes things happen).
I just want the customer service offices that are on the phone to pay attention to us (their customers) and actually listen/understand our problem, instead of taking a nap during the process.
Sincerely, your customer
Kristal Johnson

An added comment to extend graffiti's info a bit, your experience is similar to how many of us ended up here looking for answers. In that sense, why not ask your question here and see if you get an answer. The response time will not be immediate, but it is often more directed to your need from other users that have either experience the problem or have seen the problem from someone else. The long term knowledge here is rather large as a result and often is more than calling Adobe. Of course, there are some questions we would still refer you to Adobe for an answer since they are not related to using the product.
Welcome to the world of other users.

  • I wish to register a formal complaint about a scam charge on my phone

    I have just had a scam text charged to my phone from a number I do not recognise. Apparently it is a porn site who are supposed to have received a text from me at midday when my wife and I were having lunch. I have been asked to ring the company and complain which I know would be a waste of time because it clearly is a scam.. In my view this is the resaponsibility of EE to put a stop to. How do I register a formal complaint ??

    What no. was it from?
    These will be reversed-charged texts from Premium Rate nos. you may have inadvertently subscribed to via Web or TV. EE are not obliged to refund you but you may complain to the Premium rate regulator PhonepayPlus or the firm itself. You can check out those nos. yourself on that site.
    You could try texting STOP to the number, but it may cost and may not work.

  • How to make a formal complaint to Ofcom about BT?

    How long does it take for a phone line to be activated for a new built property? In our case a new phone line takes 2.5 months already and is still not completed. And absolutely no line over the xmas and new year!
    This is the time line of our phone line order:
    08/10/13: order placed, engineer visit scheduled for 24/10/13;
    24/10/13: engineer no show, no notification about the status;
    between 24/10/13 to 08/11/13: numerous phone calls to BT, was told to chase developer because the problem was with them, BT openreach has to complete a survey on the outside before everything can move forward;
    08/11/13: been informed by order management team that we will have an update by 15/11/13, obviously didn't happen;
    18/11/13: been told the order got delayed again and the external planning was scheduled to complete on 03/12/13, engineer visit rescheduled for 06/12/13;
    05/12/13: got a text message informing us the order got delayed (for the 3rd time) that there were 2 blockages outside for the line and we would be updated on 14/12/13 while another team from BT was telling me the engineer visit is going ahead; took an hour clarify that there would be no engineer visit and we would be updated on 14/12/13;
    13/12/13: spoke to BT order management again, was assured that BT openreach engineer was onsite to clear the blockage, and we would be given an appointment on 14/12/13. no further delays was expected;
    14/12/13: no phone call from BT all day;
    16/12/13: called BT order management, was told BT Openreach engineer only managed to clear on blockage and the other one was schedule for 24/12/13, which is xmas eve! So this is a BT way of telling us that we won't have a phone line during the holiday season and an order of a telephone line will take into the new year!
    This is 21st centry Britain we are talking about and a suburb London home we try to have a phone line installed. I am sure it won't even take that long in a remote island in the Pacific ocean! I wonder how regulators like Ofcom can turn a blind eye on the appalling services we get from the providers in this country. Would appreciate if anyone could let me know how to make a formal complaint about BT in this case. I don't care if it is BT openreach's problem, it is BT's collective failure for customer as a corporate!!!

    Understand it might be a openreach issue and new build usually takes longer - and that's why we have been more than accommodating so far. the prob is that our contract relationship is with BT not Openreach. if BT cares about customer services, they  they should be on the case with Openreach (since the latter is their supplier, there must be a service standard between the two otherwise Openreach could be the best place to work because they can unilaterally decide how long it takes them to do a job!)
    Along the way we had msgs from BT order management saying we will update you on this date. Don't call us before that date but they failed even to give us the update on the day! Surely this is the culture of not delivering unpleasant msg.
    I am 6 months pregnant and on top of another young child and work, having to get stressed about the whole fiasco is just not on! Let alone all the time and money wasted on this just for the basic household service!!

  • How do i make an official complaint about an app? They have stopped access to my account and are trying to extort money via paypal (skirting Apple) to allow me access again!! Who might i contact regarding this behavior? Does Apple have a code of ethics!

    Hello community!
    How do i make an official complaint about an app? They have stopped access to my account and are trying to extort money via paypal (skirting Apple) to allow me access again!! Who might i contact regarding this behavior? Does Apple have a code of ethics required for apps?
    Ive used this app for a couple years now, invested a significant amount of money developing my account over that time (close to a couple of grand id say). The Apps support wont discuss the situation, just demand the cash to reopen my account. There is no anual fee or anything.... Its extrordinary behavior to now be faced with this loss of investment.
    I dont wish to go into more detail in the public domain but your help in directing me to the apropriate contact/department would be greatly apreciated. I'm located in Australia.
    Best regards,
    Mike

    All I can suggest is to contact iTunes. You should not have been able to create a new account with the same email address

  • Adobe, please make a formal statement about "free" CS2

    Folks, we have heard the whole gambit of ideas and discussions concerning Adobe's "giveaway" of CS2.
    To my knowledge, there has only ever been ONE SINGLE post about CS2 NOT being released for free - and that post was in a FORUM. InDesign Secrets picked up on that one post and repeated what was said there.  On Adobe's CS2 download page, there is NOTHING said one way or the other.  Forum statements are always on a personal level - they are NOT a professional solution for official announcements, and should not be regarded as such.
    Adobe, could you please be so kind as to issue a formal statement? 
    There are many people out there who would use CS2 if it were released for free - folks who will never purchase the newer versions - folks who normally use only freeware.  It would be a great benefit to those folks, and it would increase your popularity, and you might even make sales with those people once they get used to your products. 
    I, myself have a license for CS3 Premium, CS4 Standard, InDesign CS2, but I would recommend CS2 to other folks to use instead of GIMP or other freeware.  In fact, when the word went out, I was surprised and pleased and wrote to my friends.  Then I had second thoughts and had to tell them "never mind - I was misled".  Now, after reading the posts in this here forum, I am somewhat bewildered and confused.
    Please make a formal statement about this!

    I do not agree with your examples they can’t be used in this case.
    The shop and speed examples just don’t make sense. The digital nature of this whole situation alone makes comparisons like shops or driving-speed-limits impossible. When you enter a shop and take something the object is moved, in this case there is nothing moved! (that’s just one point, there many others but that would make this post too long).
    Also realise that the knife cuts both ways.
    Ignorance of law applies to both user and provider.
    If the user did wat he/she could to make sure that it seemed legit than they have done their part.
    If adobe did to make sure then the user/visitor of the site can not simply grab the stuff, than the visitor places him/herself in in “illegal situation”.
    If adobe gave the public the false presumption that content could be downloaded for free (NOT moved / stolen) then Adobe is also at fault and put themselves in a position where they can’t just make a statement that illegal activity has taken place on the user’s part.
    To my knowledge A EULA is NOT intended when you have a license.
    Even though literlally means “End User License Agreement” ,  it initially can’t be tied with a purchase. That will become clear AFTER you read the EULA. If you want the requirement that an initial purchase is mandatory than you must inform the user before he/she opens the EULA. Adobe has not properly informed the public on the downloadpage.
    (You can not use the forum for that)
    And what about freeware tools? And promotion based sites which from time to time give away software. They all have EULA’s a EULA is also to inform the user of the circumstances he/she can use the software.
    If it is not clear on the website (downloadpage) than how is the user supposed to know if he/she can download and install?
    - First off, the site which promoted this are respected sites. And still there are sites wich have not done any retration
    (and see the points below about notification and retraction).
    - Then you have the downloadpage which has no form of restriction/ID authentication and the serials are right there.
    - I installed and read the EULA and at that point it seemed al legit.
    And you still have the other points which you still can’t place under “ignorance of law” when the user has done it’s part by checking the below
    There was and still is no notification on the adobe download site
    Serials are displayed on the adobe download site
    The EULA literally states "obtained" not "purchased"
    Everything can be registered and will show up in your "My Adobe" profile
    No adobe ID is needed to reach the adobe downloadpage
    Adobe admitted that the whole thing could be seen as an giveaway
    Adobe only used the forum to communicate that it was not intended as an giveaway, but as an way for owners with genuine CS2 license to reinstall because of the de-activation of authentication servers. BUT they never stated that downloading and using this version without a previous CS2 license is illegal.
    · IF it is illegal to download and install then adobe would state that literally asap (right at the moment they explained in the forum that this is not for non CS2-license holders). Now there is only silence and adobe forum moderators are not responding to issue directly (an sort of "edict" from the adobe management not to discuss until further notice?)
    · Days after this fiasco adobe hasn't taken any precautions to avoid further downloading/misunderstanding. (they still left the page as is, they even removed the requirement of an adobe ID to reach the page)
    You cannot use the shop or speed example in this case, pro or against adobe.
    The software world is totally different.
    There are enough examples where older versions are given away as form promotions, and there even promotions which began “silent’ and then went viral.
    And realise that the UK law doesn’t apply for the rest of the world, Adobe realises this and therefore hasn’t made an official statement yet. Not just a forum statement which led to some retractions within certain sites.
    The assumption of “Consent of the copyright owner” was given on the moment when the downloadpage went up AND no form of notification was given.
    Adobe still hasn’t informed me properly through email that download and install of the CS2 is only valid for users who have a previous genuine license.
    ”...Where copyright exists, the owner is not required to tell people - it's an automatic right....”
    I do not believe this, you must always supply enough/proper information or else how is the public to know?
    And I still have these questions
    Where is stated on the downloadpage that it is intended for CS2 license holders?
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html
    · Why is that page accessible for everyone without an adobe ID?
    Why Can the content be directly downloaded without even going to the downloadpage without any form of ID authentication.
    Why is the EULA not customised for this?
    Why is there still no notification on the download page?
    Why am I able to register it and it shows up in my "My Adobe"?
    Why have the users who have registered this with their full and valid address and email information not received any mail about this
    Why is the forum the only communication channel to about this? When and Where will be the official statement? Will this be outside the forum. If not, why not use the website homepage and email adresses of the registered users?
    Why are there still no takedowns issued on the sites which still promote this as free?
    Knowing that there was no form of proper notification (and still none), how are the people who downloaded, installed and registered this to know that this was not some form of promotion?

  • How to make a formal complaint?

    I would like to make a formal written complaint. I have contacted Apple by telephone and was told to complete the form on apple.com/feedback, which does not provide sufficient space to make my complaint. I have visited the store and was told by the manager to visit the same website. I was also advised and provided with the stores contact details. However, the manager did state that the complaint would remain internal within the store.
    I do not find that this is acceptable and I would like to make a full written formal complaint, without having to send a letter to the US.

    I would like to make a formal written complaint.
    Were a tuxedo while using a word processor to write the letter.
    If the form on the web does not fill your needs send a letter to Apple. You can find their address in Cupertino California quite easily.

  • Re: how to make a formal complaint

    Hi
    Having gone round and round with so called customer services.  I too would like to make formal complaint.  Email would be easier but the link  provided by another forum member brings up a page that doesn't seem to work?? Does anyone know of one?
    We  have been a customer with BT for less than a month - our phones have not worked since we switched to BT and the TV we are paying for doesnt have any bbc or main itv channels.  priceless.  We''ve tried various 'unhelpful' customer service routes who promise to call us back to sort it and never do. I've even emailed head of retail at BT to let him in on the 'secret' of his shocking customer services set up. But still no response.
    I couldn't be more amazed at the brick walls that are put up in the name of wanting to be no 1 for customer service.  What a joke.  

    I have asked a moderator to provide assistance, they will post an invite on this thread.
    They are the only BT employees on this forum, and are a UK based team of people, who take personal ownership of your problem.

  • How to make a formal complaint - no one seems to b...

    Hi all - I'm new on here and have joined to try and find some help or answers since BT don't seem to respond to 4 formal complaints...  I have had broadband issues for 4 months - the connection drops off - usually overnight (I work online on nights doing shift work) and is unreliable at the best of times.  I have had an engineer out - a new hub etc.  THERE IS NOTHING WRONG  with my set up as it works perfectly fine when it wants to.  It is my belief that BT are doing some work on our lines as other people in my village have experienced similar issues.  I have informed BT that I want some explanation/compensation for my loss of work as a result of the connection dropping off.  I have informed them that I will be cancelling my direct debit and not paying my most recent bill because they have not honoured their contract and given me satisfactory service - let along customer service.  My complaints have been ignored. I even spoke to an operator 2 weeks ago who wanted me to pay my bill and I listed the reasons why I was not prepared to until I had received an explanation from BT as to why my broadband was not consistant.  He advised me that he would pass on the information and get someone to contact me. No one has.  I have now been cut off and the only direction the automated telephone system will put me in is to pay my bill and be re-connected.  I am feeling undervalued as a customer - stressed with my lack of reliable broadband which I rely on for my work as I work from home - and frustrated by the fact I cannot talk to anyone.  If anyone can help me I would be so grateful as I'm at my wits end.  many thanks in advance.

    Hello susannah75,
    Welcome to the forum & I am sorry to hear of your problems with BT.
    Perhaps moving to an alternate service provider could be a preferable option for you.
    If enough people were to do this perhaps BT would have to revise and offer a more acceptable level of service?

  • Is there anywhere to file a formal complaint about poor customer service in billing?

    I would prefer a physical address or email address but I can voice it out on Twitter if preferred. I have had Verizon for FIFTEEN years. Non stop. 15 loyal years. Plus we have Fios and have had that for 4 years. I give Verizon a considerable chunk of my money. That being said, when we switched our bank accounts a few months back I made a mistake and picked the wrong account for our payment on the online payment system for Verizon. In fact I did it 2x. Which caused the payment to decline because we don't use that bank. I was rushed and made a mistake. Due to this I now have to get out cash and go into a Verizon Store and pay. This is craziness. And yes I am aware I can also call and dole out my credit card number to you over the phone. While that seems like a safe thing to do...... I prefer not to. Also I travel internationally for work which makes the call and the going to a store even more difficult. So as any reasonable person I call Verizon Customer Service thinking there must be some fix to this after all I have been with them so long. Well the first person admitted to me it could be overridden and transferred me to his supervisor who just outright refused. So there is your answer, Verizon does not care about loyalty or the 15 years of current payments. I want this addressed further and want to file a complaint. I also will leave Verizon the first chance I get, cell and cable. Amazing that a business can thrive with such poor customer service. Other companies I patronize recognize loyalty and reward it. Not Verizon. Lesson learned. I will be sure to spread this word far and wide. This could have been a simple resolution costing nothing for Verizon.

  • Formal complaint about a removed topic...

    I started a topic on the OS X Developers forum that was removed. The topic was titled "When/If JDK 1.6 will release for 32-bit", and was basically a question as to IF Apple would release a 32-bit version of the 1.6 JDK, which is currently only available for 64-bit platforms. The discussion was heated, with both sides making some very valid points.
    No where in this post did I or anyone else write anything that"contains speculations or rumors about unannounced products or discussions of Apple policies, procedures or decisions." The discussion was more along the lines of if Apple had a responsibility to provide support for people with older (albiet not that old) hardware. But, some moderator felt it did, for what ever reason. I am not sure how, since I know I don't have any inside knowledge of Apple's going-ons, hence the nature of the post, but I thought it was rash.
    Ulitmately I know that Apple owns the forums, and as such can remove anything they want. I still think they jumped the gun and did me an injustice, as I had not broken any of their rules.

    So that's what happened to that thread!
    As a participant of that "heated" discussion, I feel confident in saying that any moderator who cared enough to bother to delete that thread must have cared more about it than any of us posting on it. Perhaps someone just said "Enough with these pointless Java threads!". But what else are we supposed to do in the developer forums these days? Read iPhone questions we can't answer?
    But seriously, there was some good information there. I had just posted yet another link to the open-source Java 1.6 for the Mac along with some sage advice regarding getting things done vs. waiting for a vendor.
    Michael,
    Don't take it personally. Even though people have accused me of being an Apple shill they have deleted my threads too on occasion. I can't say I'm sad that they deleted that thread. I usually always regret posting to a Java thread. Sometimes I just can't help myself. I'm sorry if I contributed to your thread's deletion. I should have just posted the SoyLatte link and kept my mouth shut.

  • Where can I make an official complaint about a specific app?

    One of my apps updated about two months ago and the functionality has been comprimised.  The developers have been "working on the problem", but nothing has been resolved.  The app is nearly unusable without the functionality that is lacking.  I'd like to get the $ I've invested in the app back.  How do I do that?

    Apple's policy is that all sales are final, especially on an app that you bought some while ago and have chosen to update. You should always maintain archival copies of your apps so that in a case such as this you can revert to the previous version of the app.

  • A question about the face call through wifi

    Hi I'm currently waiting for iphone4 in Korea
    one of the main reasons for me to buy iphone4 is
    I can use face call(I know it isn't the official term but
    I hope everyone understands what I mean) for free through
    wifi. So right now my biggest concern is that does the free face
    call exclusively possible inside of the us or does it possible
    internationally through wifi. In other word does the face call possible
    between the iphone4 user in Korea and in the us?
    I'll study in the us and my parents stay in Korea. I hope the face call
    will be possible between me and my parents. Thay way will very much
    narrow the geographical gap betwen me and my parents.
    Thank you.

    I think it will be, I saw a post I think on engadget.com that shows the possibility. The guy was using a mifi in I think the UK and the other guy was in the states. It was possible but it had hiccups. I have not seen a wifi to wifi in two different countries as of yet. But the mifi to wifi in two different countries yes. The study was done to see why Face Time was not available when using 3G service and it clearly showed it is possible because the mifi uses a 3G signal which is translated as a hotspot.....There also may be international laws in certain countries that block it.

  • Formal Complaint - Does BT Care ?

    After many many faults on my phone and broadband service, I want to make a formal complaint about my latest fault. Does anyone have a WORKING link to a formal complaint procedure ? 
    I've tried the "contact us" routes but am getting nowhere fast, a weblink would be really useful as I want to take this complaint as far as possible up the BT food chain.

  • How do I make a formal complain?

    Hi,
    I can't find any other appropriate forums to post my question other than here.
    Could someone please advise how I should go about making a complaint and be heard by BT personnels who can actually help me and not shout their opinions at me through the phone. I have tried raising the matter and was directed to speak to a manager who disappointingly, was extremely rude and shouted at me on the phone.
    I made an order with BT in advance thinking that I could get the service up and running when I move to my new place. However, BT screwed up on my order and was forced to cancel my order. I was not informed of anything until I made the call to BT myself. By then (a month after I made the order), the appointment date given to me was 2 weeks after my move in date. I do not understand why as a customer, I am left to deal with BT's mistake with no explanation except that "sometimes there are problems with technology". I am very disappointed that BT treats their customers as second class and do not attempt to make up for their mistakes. 
    I do not wish to waste any more time trying to call and risk speaking to another rude manager and would like to know how I can make a formal complaint that will be addressed in a respectable manner.

    Hi h13w,
    If you fill out the contact us link located in the about me section of my profile we can take a look at this for you.

  • How to Lodge a Formal Complaint against an Authorized Reseller

    Hi All,
    I just had a bad experience with an authorized reseller in Macau (details on the incidents will be added at a later, since I will be going back to the store today to try ratify the situation again), and would really want to make a formal complaint against its service (not the product). Is there anyway that I may formally contact Apple to express my frustration, since I could not find any link in the Apple website that direct me towards something close to a "complaint departments".
    Thanks in advance

    If you still feel that you need to contact Apple after your visit to the store, I would send a letter to Apple corporate headquarters (address in upper right corner):
    http://www.apple.com/contact/
    And, you might want to address the letter to the person listed here:
