Ongoing Billing Problems - Filing complaint with FCC - Seeking Attorney

This is only the latest in a constant, year long, cluster**ck.
My internet service was fine for 10 months. The billing was wrong every single month, but the service worked. Then Comcast sent multiple letters demanding that I MUST upgrade to their new modem (which, also comes with a new monthly fee). After installing their new required modem, my internet became virtually useless. It didn't work at any time of day or night for 3 weeks, during which time I made more calls to Comcast customer service than I can count. After dozens of hours of phone calls, Comcast finally agreed to send a technician, free of charge, to identify and fix the issue. (It is also worth noting that they refused to pro-rate my bill for the 3 weeks of downtime.)
The technician arrived and before he even attempted to review my problem, told me I had to buy a new modem. When I refused, he left. He made absolutely no attempt to diagnose my problem or repair it. He simply said that another technician would "come by in a few days" and left an invoice showing that the visit was free of charge. No additional technician ever came. I ended up researching my issues and repairing my connection myself.
This morning, I sat down to pay my bill. Wouldn't you know it, there's a $70 charge on my bill for a FREE technician visit.
So far this morning I've spent four and half hours on the phone with Comcast. 3 hours of which have been spent on hold.
The first person I spoke to said he'd be glad to help me and then hung up. The second person said there is nothing they can do to change my bill despite my having a copy of an invoice saying the visit was free. They then transferred me to a third person. The third person verified my personal account information and then promptly hung up on me after I told them I was seeking a bill adjustment. I called back. The fourth person I spoke to asked me to verify my account details and then also hung up. 4 and a half hours on the phone attempting to fix a billing error and 3 people refused to assist.
I called back. This time to cancel my service outright. The fifth person I spoke to verified my account information, asked what they could do to help, and upon my saying I'd like to cancel my service - hung up on me.
4 Comcast employees hanging up on a customer they've fraudulently charged and a refusal to terminate my account.I fully intend to visit with my attorney to see what I can do next.

I apologize for any frustration regarding your billing issue. I show that you have been contacted by a representative and this has been resolved. Please reply back if you have any additional questions or concerns.

  • Filed Complaint with BBB against Verizon

    They have the worst customer service ever!  For 3 months I've been lied to by their customer service.  We upgraded a phone that had unlimited data but it was supposed to take another lines phone upgrade which would leave the unlimited data intact.
    I've talked to 8-10 reps since July that have told me they'd get the unlimited data put back on and as of today it has not.  Yesterday a rep told me there was nothing they can do and the other reps were giving me false information. 
    They just are trying to get rid of all unlimited data plans even though we were grandfathered in and they've been giving me the runaround for months.
    I've filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and will be leaving Verizon ASAP!  

    Hey, not concerned at all about this issue/  stop and think, have you thought about simplifying your problem>? Customer service seems like it's bad everywhere in 2014.

    In NY verizon is a little afraid
    New Yorks Attorney Generals have nailed them for millions. Additionally the States Consumer Protection Board has authority over them, as well I have read in addition to the NYS Public Service Commission. But by different actions of authority.
    So sometimes a local complaint is far superior to Federal complaints. There is always a private right of action and verizon wireless does lose quite a few of those actions. The NYS Register can attest to that.
    But in fairness be pretty accurate in what you are asking for since a court or regulatory agency requires absolute truthful facts. You would need names, places, dates, remedy sought. Documents and telephone logs. Since the burden of proof lies with the filer not verizon wireless.
    Good Luck

  • If we all file complaints with the BBB and the FCC maybe things will change

    I filed complaints with the BBB and the FCC over the last round of delayed updates. I got a call from someone claiming to work in the President of VZW office. It sounded like complaints to the BBB and the FCC cause major headaches for the folks at VZW and all they wanted me to do was remove my complaints. I refused until my phone was updated then I notifed the BBB and the FCC that my issue had been resolved. I just filed another round of complaints on Monday. Maybe if everyone else who is tired of the same old ** from VZW files complaints then they might take our issue seriously. I doubt it but at least we'd be making things difficult for them.

      And if enough people do this, do you know what is going to end up happening? Verizon will never update any of the phones, you will be stuck with the OS that was shipped with your phone. Is that what you want?
      What are you complaining about in the 2nd round?

  • File your Complaints with the FTC and  FCC!

    I have filed complaints with the FCC and the FTC online. Verizon has been deceptive in implementing the new policy change regarding unlimited data. Verizon needs to be above board with this issue and stop trying to trick everyone who assumes they are "grandfathered in" with their unlimited data. File your complaints today!

    What has been deceptive about it? If you purchase a subsidized phone, you will lose your unlimited data. If you migrate to the Share Everything plan, you will lose your unlimited data.
    Seems to be pretty straight forward.
    If you continue on your current plan with the same phone, you ARE grandfathered in and will continue to get your unlimited data. If you purchase a new phone at full retail or activate a phone from another source, you ARE grandfathered in and will continue to get your unlimited data. Both of these could change in the future, though. Contrary to popular belief, being grandfathered in does not mean FOREVER. As of right now, this is the case, though.

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

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

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

  • My phone is telling me there is a billing problem with a precious purchase and won't let me download or update anything even though the apps in trying to download are free and updates are free. And I only have one card so I can't update my payment info

    My phone is telling me that I have a billing problem with a precious purchase but I only have one card so I can't update my payment information so I can't update anything or download anything. What should I do?

    Are you aware of any problem with a previous purchase ? If not then you should contact iTunes Support and see if they can tell you what it is (until it's sorted you won't be able to download anything from the store) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If you go into the payment details section on your account then does it say anything about your card being declined or not accepter or if the security code needs re-entering ?

  • I tried downloading a free app and it asked for my billing information and when i entered it, it says that there was a billing problem with a previoud purchase and i have to update it. I keep updating it and it wont let me verify it and i cant get apps

    I tried downloading a free app and it asked for my billing information and when I entered it, it said that there was a billing problem with a previous purchase and I have to update it. I keep updating it and it wont let me verify it and I cant get any apps even if they are free, and I just Deleted some apps to make room for my new upate!

    The message says: "The payment method has been denied, try another method"
    I'm living in the same country and city since I was born, so I don't think the location is the problem.
    And yes, I paid with the card a meal in Burguer King today. And nothing more.

  • I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do!

    I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do! I dont understand why it worked in the first place when it wasn't supposed to!

    There seems to be a billing problem with the iTS.  I've been trying to make purchases today (Dec 9th) too and it reports either the iTS can not process payments or it says my card was declined. I even changed the payment method to Paypal (which is never declined) and still no go.
    I don't think it is "you" but a problem at Apple.  Some popular new apps were released recently like Logic Pro and perhaps they're getting bombarded as they did when Lion was released.
    Wait a few hours and then try again.

    You can contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department at no charge using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find an "Email Us" button) and explain your problem to them.

  • When I purchase and app or update it, it comes up with 'There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please enter another payment method'?

    So when I go to update my apps and/or purchase them, a pop up comes up saying 'There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Tap continue and sign in to view billing information.' So I press continue and sign in, then it goes to my 'Payment Method' page. In red writing below, it says 'There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please enter another payment method.' Because I used a MasterCard for my last purchase, it won't let me change it. I redeemed my account from an Itunes gift card to $20 but I cannot use it as it doesn't give me the option of using it. My only billing options are either a Visa Card, MasterCard or Amex Card. Please help me if possible!!!

    same here. i was using a visa card ...now  i can't because of this "error". my account is not empty, info is correct, don;t understand why this is happening. Two days ago it was working fine, then i wanted to update an app, and this stuff begins.
    Help:)

  • I have a £50 gift voucher and I tried to buy something with it, but it tells me there was a billing problem with a previous purchase and makes me put in my debit card details. My debit card has no money atm, can't I just pay with my voucher?

    I have a £50 gift voucher and I tried to buy something with it, but it tells me there was a billing problem with a previous purchase and makes me put in my debit card details. My debit card has no money atm, can't I just pay with my voucher for the things that have a billing problem? I tried to put my voucher code in again but it won't let me do that.

    If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
    If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account.
