This is a complaint. I never ever write complaints.

   I'm a professional photographer, and the internet is absolutley essential to my work. Whilst browsing around 12am just this very night, my internet suddenly and unexpectedly cut out. I was just about to upload a client's set to my site, which was alarming as my deadline is the following morning. 
   Now, obviously, I can't pay my bill online, but wait! I do also have a 4g Galaxy S5. I navigated to the Verizon website to see if there were service interruptions. There weren't, as far as this site would tell me. I did see, though, that my bill was past due. I was positive I set up an autobilling scheme, but I'll grant that maybe I just thought I did and simply forgot. This being said, Verizon never attempted to contact me at the number on my account or the alternate email associated with my account. This really is a small sin, considering I was not charged a late fee. I simply wanted to pay my bill, because at the time, I was under the impression I was shut off for late payment (I wasn't, read on).
   So, on my phone (which, note, also has Verizon service) I click on "Pay my Bill". I'm brought to a service unavailable page. Now being a reasonable person, I'm fully aware that not all sites can be up all the time, and it's not anyone's fault for minor service interruptions. So I called Verizon. This is where everything went south.
   I was connected to a service agent which I'm sure could be looked up as the last agent who accessed my account. After some minutes of answering the typical safety questions, I said I was in a hurry and simply wanted to pay my bill. I was also under the impression that Verizon enjoys maintaining customers. They don't. I was told that despite the fact the site was simply refusing my request to pay via 4G, I would still need to pay a fee of 8 dollars to pay over the phone. This isn't a lot of money, but what it is, is exploitation. If I can't pay via the website on mobile, can't pay online (my service being down), my only option was to pay over the phone. She outright refused to waive the silly fee. So, I asked to speak to her manager. After asking me "why", which is abysmal customer service in the first place, she tells me I'll get a call back in 24 hours. She was told serveral times that this was extremely urgent, but as if my words or concerns mean nothing, that's what I was insulted with. You all must note that at no point was I rude with this woman, despite her talking over me, and being rude to me.
I was so dumbfounded by this extreme lack of sense and abhorrent failure of simple customer service, that I ended the call. I'll be contacting Verizon again tomorrow to see what I can do about leaving the service. 
Verizon, you can't attempt to close the road and then gouge the tolls on the alternate path. I wanted to pay my bill like a responsible person, but clearly that wasn't enough... But really, the story gets best here: after ending the call, I did a simple power recycle on the modem, just in case stuff like that still works. It turns out, my internet was fine, and back on in seconds. At no point did my customer service representative inform me that my service was still active, instead attempting to gouge me for a fee I never needed to pay, over a method that was never nessesary in the first place.
I just paid my bill, but hopefully it's the last. Let this be a cautionary tale. Verizon only cares about getting paid, and does not care about making customers happy.

  • Could this be the worst customer service ever???

    Hi - not used the forum before, but have had the most unbelievable time trying to deal with BT.  The simplest way to illustrate how abysmally terrible they have been is to paste below the letter of complaint (and the follow up 2 weeks later) that I have sent to BT.  It is long, but shocking reading, and compelling if you have ever had experience of what BT ironically calls "Curstomer Service".  No response yet, apart from a lame reply a few weeks later saying that they agree that the service was terrible, but that they probably won't do anything about it.  As soon as the 8 weeks are up, I'm going to escalate this to http://www.ombudsman-services.org/
    Am I missing something here?  Am I expecting too much of BT?  Am I making a fuss over nothing?  Or does this resonante with anyone who has had dealings with them?
    ORIGINAL LETTER (5th NOVEMBER):
    Dear British Telecom
    I am afraid that I need to make a formal complaint about my treatment at the hands of BT over the past 6 weeks.
    I received a MAC code from BT at the start of September which I tried to use to switch to another supplier.  The supplier told me that when I had signed up to BT Infinity with you last year, this had made the line incompatible for the ADSL service that I was now requesting and the line needed to be downgraded.  I originally called BT on 13th September to request that this be done, and spoke to a woman called Jackie.  She agreed that it was remiss of BT not to have explained the implications of the switch to BT Infinity when I was offered the deal, and so agreed to arrange a manual downgrade of the line to avoid triggering a contract renewal.  She told me that the work would be complete by 23rd September and that I would receive confirmation from BT that the work was to take place within 2 business days.  No confirmation came through.  I called again the following week and had 2 lengthy conversations, with one person telling me that no work was in progress, and another telling me that yes it was in progress.  However, on 24th, the work had still not been done.
    I called again on the morning of 24th for a very lengthy conversation (well over an hour), when after a lot of resistance, the person eventually explained that they didn’t know why the work had not been carried out, but it would definitely be carried out the next day.  I asked her to assure me that if this was not done, then I would not be liable for any charges as a result of BT’s repeated failure to perform this work.  She agreed to this.
    I went on holiday the following day, and by the time I returned on 10th October, my other supplier, had still not managed to use the MAC code to switch to them, and it had now expired.  It had been repeatedly rejected because there was an open order on the line.
    I called again on 10th, and was told that they didn’t know why the work had not been completed, but it would be done by 14th.  I was told I would have one month of broadband payments refunded, and that I would not need to make any further payments to BT, as it was BT’s fault that the work had not been done and I was still with you.  I requested confirmation of this twice, to be sure that I had not misunderstood, and it was given twice in very clear terms.
    Of course, the 14th came, and the supplier I wanted to switch to was still being told that there was an open order on my account.  I called again on 14th, and this time was told that the work actually took place on 26th September, but that there was still an open order on my account.  None of the many people I was passed to over the next couple of weeks was able to tell me what the order was for – one person said it was just an administrative item that needed to be closed.  I spoke to many people who claimed that it was closed.  Eventually someone agreed to do a little research and found some background processes running, which were eventually closed after several more difficult calls.
    These calls were without exception long and difficult.  I was often promised calls back with explanations, but not one ever came.  I was often told that I needed to be put through to another department and that the person I was speaking to had spoken with them and they would be able to help me quickly and easily and were awaiting that I be transferred, but I was put through to a long phone queue and then spoke to someone who didn’t know anything about my case and was not able to help anyway.  I had to repeatedly explain the situation from scratch to somebody new, despite being assured that this would not be necessary.  In short, I spend very many hours that I really could not afford on the phone to BT to sort this out. 
    This was dereliction of customer service and a breach of your duty of care on a significant scale (in addition to the failure to supply the service downgrade promised, and then the failure to communicate that it had been supplied until I called many times more).  The calls caused me significant frustration and distress, and affected my mood for a long time after.  The hours I had to spend on the phone in a vain attempt to make myself understood by your people caused me to miss deadlines at work, to appear sloppy, and to present myself in a less professional way than usual due to the vexation caused by all of this.  I could never have imagined that getting a simple request fulfilled could require such a significant expenditure of time, effort and internal strength.
    My complaint is not that there was an initial error with the work, but that this error was not explained, investigated or put right despite extremely lengthy efforts by myself to communicate with BT what needed to be done.  I was treated with disrespect many times, as people told me they were putting me through to specific people they had spoken to, but then just put me through to a long phone queue; people promised me confirmation texts/emails and update calls which never came; different people gave completely conflicting stories about what was going on with my account; people repeatedly assured me that everything was fine and the other supplier would now be able to place the order, and the other supplier was not able to place the order.  These were not one-off events – each of these situations happened several times.  I can only describe your customer service as consistently abysmal.
    Finally, last week, the supplier I want to switch to was able to place the order and arrange for the takeover of my line and broadband which will take place next week.
    Sadly, though, that is not the end of my problems with BT.  In the early hours of this morning, I received 3 emails asking me to view and pay my new bill.  This came to over £140 (up to now I have been paying £17 per month), and included an incomprehensible set of charges for “Line Rental”, “Broadband and Calls” (which included BT Infinity Option 2, which I do not have),  as well as separate listings for “BT Broadband Option 3”, which I also do not have.  There are no words to describe the shock and disbelief I felt upon opening this.
    Throughout the whole process, I have been very clear and explained multiple times that my purpose has been to be able to switch to another supplier, and that despite being offered new contracts and new deals many times, this was not what I wanted.  I only wanted to be able to switch as soon as possible, and so wanted no renewal of any contract.  I was assured several times that this is what would be achieved.  The comments on my latest bill refer to a “contract start date”, and so if there is any new contract in place, this has not only been done without my consent, but in contravention of my repeatedly expressed wishes.  Whether the explanation for this is gross incompetence or corruption, it is not acceptable, and must be cancelled immediately.
    I called again today, but again found myself talking to apologetic people who couldn’t help who passed me on to long phone queues which led to more apologetic people who couldn’t help.
    Given that this has been going on for so long and given that the many promises made to me by BT have been repeatedly broken and given that I had been clearly and explicitly assured that I would not have to make any further payments to BT, as my switch was in progress and only BT was obstructing it from taking place; I am no longer prepared to subject myself to this treatment.  Rather than paying you this money and giving you more of my time, I would expect significant compensation from you for the many many hours I have put in to trying to address the consequences of BT’s failures and for the resultant stress, that has affected other areas of my life and which continues to do so.
    Please respond to this letter within 14 days, confirming that you will be cancelling the latest bill and any contract that you may have put in place, and advising me what level of financial compensation you feel would adequately compensate me for what I have been put through by BT.  Naturally, you will not be proposing any credit to my account, as I will hopefully no longer be a BT customer in a few days’ time, and the balance on the account should actually be zero. 
    I look forward to your prompt response.
    Yours sincerely
    FOLLOW UP LETTER (20th NOVEMBER):
    Dear British Telecom
    I submitted the letter below via the complaints section of your website on 5th November, asking for a response within 14 days.  The automated response said that you would normally respond to complaints within 48 hours, but at very busy periods this may take up to 96 hours.  However, 2 weeks has now passed and I have received no response from BT.
    I tried calling BT again on 12th November, after receiving a new bill demand.  On the automated system, I asked to speak about my bill.  The automated voice said “about your bill.  Is that right?”, I said yes, but it put me through to the BT Options team, who were not able to help and eventually transferred me to the billing team.  I spoke to one lady and to her manager, and was told that she would investigate the huge and confusing charges on my bill, and the promise that had been made to me that I would not incur ANY further charges, and that she would get back to me on my mobile number within 48 hours, and that if she could not reach me, she would call back until she did.  I asked whether this meant that my bill would be on hold until she spoke to me again, and she clearly confirmed this.  Of course, no call ever came, so my bill is actually still on hold now, according to she clearly told me.
    Then, in the early hours of 18th November, I received 2 emails: one telling me that another provider had requested to take over my broadband service and that service would stop from midday on that day (even though it had actually been transferred to another provider more than a week earlier), and another thanking me for taking out a new 12 month phone contract starting on 18th November.  Of course, I never discussed any new contract from BT, apart from stating very clearly on several occasions during my many calls with you that I specifically didn’t want to enter into any new contracts.
    I called again on 18th to speak to the complaints department.  I spoke to Angela, who told me that the complaint that I had made on the phone on the 12th, and the complaint that I sent via your site 2 weeks ago, and which I copy below, had both been ‘escalated’ to a woman in India called Sharon, who was supposed to have called me back by 14th.  Angela said she would look into this, get hold of the complaint I had sent and read it carefully, and would look to cancel my bill and offer me compensation.  As has been a common occurrence in my dealings with BT, she apologised for the way things had been handled so far and assured me that she would now take ownership of my case and would definitely call me back at 2.30pm with an update, even if the situation was not fully resolved at that point.  She even re-confirmed my mobile number, but of course, no call ever came.
    And, incredibly, this morning, I received another email from BT, telling me that as I hadn’t paid my bill yet, a late-payment charge had been added to it, and threatening me with a downgrade of my credit status.
    Again, I feel compelled to emphasise the great frustration and stress that this situation is causing me.  This is utter neglect of your duty of customer care, and there is nobody in your confusing maze of customer support phone services who has been able to understand and address any of my issues I have had over this extremely difficult 2 months.  Several people have promised that they would take ownership of my case, and would stay in contact with me, but none of them ever has.  There seems to be no way to meaningfully communicate with anybody at your end, even while the bills, and charges, and threats and confusing emails are coming thick and fast.  This is now proving to be equally true of your complaints procedure –  my complaint has been completely ignored.
    As I requested in my previous letter (below), please cancel my bill immediately and propose what level of financial compensation you feel would reasonably compensate me for the extreme frustration and stress that I have been subjected to in recent months, which has affected other areas of my life, including my work and family life, and the time and trouble I have taken to try to reach you to get this sorted out. 
    I include a copy of my original letter below, and am sending this to you both by email and in the post.  I would like a positive response within 10 calendar days of the date of this letter, addressing all of the issues I am raising.  Beyond this 10 day period, I may take further action, which may include legal action and/or publicity about this case.
    Yours sincerely

    Update - in case anyone is still interested -  Here is my response to them:
    30th December 2013 – Our Response
    Thank you for your proposal, which we do not find acceptable.  
    Not only does it ignore the promise that we were made by telephone in October that we would not receive any more bills from BT, as the fact that we were still with you had already been down to your negligence for some time, but it also ignores the abysmal service that you have given us and the resultant stress and personal inconvenience that you have directly caused.  An apology and a weak offer to refund the difference between what we pay now and what we paid you is very very far from even beginning to make up for this.  Your wilfully ignoring a promise that you had made in October and that we very clearly drew your attention to in our original letter is yet another example of this, as are your over-complicated "final" bills, which are not easy to make any sense of.
    You say that you will feed back to the agents involved about the terrible service that they have given.  This will make no difference.  If only one or two agents had been involved in delivering a terrible customer experience, then maybe this may have helped, but the fact that your service has been so consistently and unswervingly catastrophic in every single interaction (and you will be aware that there are very many posts on forums all over the Internet singling out BT for similarly incalculably bad service) suggests that the problem is in your processes, your training and your staggering lack of customer service ethic.  If you truly wish to make changes, your actions will need to be far more fundamental than simply scape-goating a few individuals who are doing nothing different from anyone else you employ.  I do not hold any individual or individuals responsible for what BT has done, but BT as a whole.
    I intend to refer this case to Ombudsman Services: Communications, but would welcome a response from you before 2nd January if you have anything further to add.
    Best Wishes

  • Is there any way I can recover deleted pictures from Camera Roll and iCloud? Please please help me. All of my precious pictures are gone that I can never EVER get back. I dont have any iCloud or Camera Roll backup; and my PC can't download more software.

    Hi everyone! I'm in need of extreme help. You see, today, two months ago I went out of the country from the United States of America. I took about 1500 pictures ONLY on my iPod touch. When I returned to the United States to my home, I accidentally deleted a little more than 100 pictures. Then, thinking I could get ALL of the pictures back at once, I restored my iPod touch from an iCloud backup I had a couple of days before. Instead of getting all of my pics back, they all got erased. The pictures that I did delete were deleted from Camera Roll AND Photo Stream (iCloud). Then, I was only able to get about 500 pictures back from iCloud. So about 1000 are still gone. When i did the restore, I thought all my pictures would be there, but they weren't and I couldn't possibly figure out why; because a restore from iTunes or iCloud is supposed to restore your device to the settings of the time you backed up your device. All of my other settings were just the way they were supposed tone for the time being, all except my pictures, which contained not one picture in any folder. So EVERYTHING from Cameta Roll was gone, and only about 500 pictures survived. I kept retoring and restoring, hoping they would come back but unfortunately they didn't. Then one time a restored again, I saw all of them back!! But then, within a blink of an eye, they disappeared as soon as I tapped on one picture. Then, I knew they were still in reach, but I just had to find them. Where could those 1000 pictures go? I looked up how to recover deleted photos, but I have to install a software. My computer CANNOT possibly take anymore software on it, my PC is very sensitive and I cannot delete anything off of it. Please please help me. What can I do to get my pictures back? They are memories that I can never EVER EVER get back. Thank you so much.

    Please please help me, if you know how.

  • My iphone 4 is telling me I have to restore but when I plug in and connect to itunes, it freezes about 30-50 % through the process. Now I can't use my phone at all? I am waiting about 1-3 hours for this process to finish and nothing ever happens. HELP!!

    Put it into DFU mode - hold the sleep/wake button and home button until the screen goes black (ignoring the slide to turn off slider). When the screen goes black release the sleep/wake button but hold the home button. Continue holding the home button for 10 seconds, then release it. The screen should stay black. Plug it into iTunes and it should come up with this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. It must be restored before use", that's when it is successfully in DFU mode. Now press the restore button in iTunes and it should run smoothly :)

  • I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store.

    I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store. I have already had to have a technician to look at it and really couldn't figure out what the deal was.  I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software. This machine is only 4 weeks old and I am using 37 g on a 1 T hard drive. There is no reason for it to be locking up. Also, when I try to use the help program, it always tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I have used both the mail program and the browser with no problem just before that. I successfully used the help program on my pc lots of times. I did not need a $2000. plus machine to just get email. I just wanted to unload on somebody that might understand my pain and after checking out this site...I think there is a few of you out there.

    I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software.
    The apps downloaded from the Mac App Store are written by third party developers, not Apple. If you have problems  with those apps you need to visit the support area for their websites. Launch the App Store, locate the app name. You should see a support link.

    Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.helpviewer.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. Restart your Mac, try the Help menu.
    If you need help finding that file, hold down the Finder icon in the Dock then click: New Finder Window. From the menu bar top of your screen click: Go > Go to Folder. Type this in exactly as you see it here:   ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist    That will take you right to that file.
    (.plist) files stores information about a particular app or in this case, the Help viewer. Often times deleting the .plist file resolves the issue.

    Hi joej49728017,
    I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused. However this is just because Adobe Acrobat 7.0 is an outdated version & the now the activation server for it does not exist.
    Please refer to the following KB doc.  Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    The above link will help you to  install a special version that does not require activation.
    In case you further need any help, please let us know. We will be more than happy to help you.
    Regards,
    Aadesh
