Unbelievably bad BT service

I reported a line fault in October, which was subsequently fixed by an Engineer's visit. The fault was to the line outside the house, (before the master socket). Broadband fault VOL051-*************.
I have since migrated to another supplier after the trouble BT has given me over the years.
Can you believe that the BT legacy of incompetance and my subsequent anguish has reared it's ugly head again?
Some robot had changed my billing to online without my consent, so no final bill in the post, but instead an email to my old email address confirming that all the fees and line rental that I had paid up front would be credited to my account - but wait a minute, they have levied a fee of £129.99 for the Engineer to have fixed their line fault.
Even more ridiculous is that since I am no longer a customer, they will not discuss the fault details or my bill either online or on the phone!
Even as a non customer they are ripping me off again!
Anyway, this seems to be the only place where things get resolved, so I thought it was worth a try.

Surely this dispute is between the OP and BT. He was a customer with BT at the time of the line fault, he report the fault to BT, they instigated the repair via Openreach, who we are constantly told do not communicate directly with Joe Public, and Openreach reported back directly to BT not the OP and it is BT who levied the charge.
It may have been in order to pay Openreach who ultimately received the monies but the OP's contract was with BT and it is up to them to resolve this not Openreach or the OP's new service provider.
I would suggest that a moderator should have a look at this and see if they can help and if not at least be able to give the OP an explanation as to why not.

Criminally bad customer service and unethical contracts

I initiated my service with Verizon in April 2012. I was forced to move from my apartment a few months ago and my new roommates already had internet/TV so I opted to simply cancel my service. I figured there was only 4-5 months remaining on the agreement, so I'd just pay the ETF on that and resume service again down the road.
Instead, I'm being told that a package change I made about a year ago re-upped the contract that I was already under which added another 12 months or so to the ETF and my final bill over $200. I called to dispute this, because I was never informed of this extension when I upgraded, and the customer service representative agreed - submitting for an $80 credit last week. I check my bill again today and the credit has not gone through. I call Verizon and they inform me the adjustment was denied during an audit. Nobody called, nobody emailed, nobody texted to explain this to me. I had to find out on my own. I spoke with a supervisor who advised me that there who informed me that the charge is valid and he would not re-submit for credit. He, like the rep before him, was pretty apathetic to my situation and pretty much tried to brush me off.
Here's my thing... I didn't agree to this contract. I didn't authorize this contract. How is it even legal to re-up a contract while you're barely already under one... let alone how is it ethical to do so? I explained in as simple of terms - either you can re-authorize this contract which will take some of the bad taste out of this experience for me, at which time I will pay the bill promptly, salvaging the possibility that I might return to your company in the future.... OR you can continue disrespecting me as a customer, insist on this extortion of a charge, at which point I will just let it go to collections and settle with the agency for a smaller balance anyway, and take my business to your competitors while bad mouthing your company for the unbelievably terrible customer service I've experienced thus far.
You're a big company, and losing one customer won't break you. I'm simply giving you the choice. Is it smarter to take $120 today or lose $200 (plus hundreds of dollars in future business) tomorrow? What is a customer worth to you?

Complaint BAD customer service experience in Hong Kong

I would like to complaint a Apple staff called “Andrew” who worked in Festival Walk Apple retail store in Hong Kong resulting in my wife cannot buy the iPhone reserved within the timeslot provided.
My wife successfully reserved two iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Gold with timeslot 12pm to 1pm (Lunch time period) on 13 Oct 2014 at Festival Walk Apple retail Store in Hong Kong. She queue and waits for assistance. Bearing in mind two different members of staff approached her and said there was a 20/25 min wait. It is fine to wait for 20-25min. But after 20 min later, she asked the Apple staff again to confirm how long she needs to wait for and ask if she whether took the iPhone few hours earlier and later. This is because the she needs back to work.
She asked the apple staff called “Andrew”, he raised his voice and told her that she need to wait now and cannot take the two iPhone 6 Plus 64GB Gold earlier and later. He also said if she would like to take the iPhone earlier, she needed to ask everyone in the queue to confirm if she allows taking the iPhone first. How come the staff response to her like that. My wife needed back to work finally and cannot buy the iPhone reserved!
At first, time management is very bad in Festival Walk Apple Retail Store in Hong Kong is very worst. Why my wife cannot buy the iPhone within the timeslot provided.
Secondly, Apple Staff attitude is very ridiculous. My wife just enquired the staff politely. But how come the staff replied her like that. How come Apple hired a rude staff likes “Andrew” in Festival Walk Apple Retail Store in Hong Kong. He was very rude, impolite to her. What’s going on. The staffs never polite and I can tell you if we treated our customers like that where I worked we would have been fired immediately!!
Does Apple Company provide any training to the staff? My wife and I doubt that any training provided to the staff. Apple customer service is terrible, he really don't care about helping you with a problem.
Apple is a big company over the world. Apple staff is the most arrogant group of people we will ever meet. They provide such worst customer service experience. It is absolutely unbelievable and unacceptable. Great service offers a unique opportunity for businesses that are willing to invest in a memorable customer experience – they can ot-support the competition. But I cannot find any great customer experience in this Apple Retail Store. Please note that Bad customer service is totally affect company reputation. I did complaint those staff “Andrew” on the same day. But there is no any feedback and response from the Festival Walk Shop Manager or Apple representative. It's an absolute disgrace and I wonder why apple don't have a complaint department!

<< Personal comments removed >>
You get to the store ~30 minutes before closing time, your card is declined for insufficient funds, you are told there isn't enough time to go to your bank in order to deposit more funds and return in time to finish the transaction and are surprised when they don't agree to finish the transaction when you return AT closing time?
Glad you finally got your phone, but I too see no reason for an apology from Verizon. Maybe checking to make sure you have the funds to cover the expenditure next time would be wise. You have a smartphone, possibly adding an app to make the funds transfer electronically would have even kept you in the store while you made the additional deposit/transfer. Better planning on your part would have prevented ALL of this.

Pandora Doesn't Work on Droid X2-Bad Customer Service from Verizon

This probably isn't news for most Droid X2 users, but my husband can't get Pandora to work on his newly purchased Droid X2. What's really frustrating is that we went to our local Verizon store to pick out a phone for my husband because he wanted to listen to Pandora at work & neither one of us was at all familiar with android phones. We told the salesman that we were newbies & asked his advice on which phone to get. This guy(Fred) assured us that he was a pro & he listened to Pandora all the time on his Verizon phone. He specifically recommended that we get the Droid X2 for listening to Pandora. Unfortunately we did as he suggested & signed on. It took my husband way more than the allotted 14 days to familiarize himself with using the Droid, let alone Pandora. By the time he felt comfortable using Pandora on his phone at home (using the WiFi), it was past the 14 day trial period. That was when he discovered that Pandora wasn't working right on his phone without the WiFi. Naturally he assumed he was doing something wrong. Then we checked into the problem online & discovered that the Droid X2 was infamous for not working with Pandora.
We went back to our salesman,Fred, & asked him for help in getting Pandora to work. This went on for a few weeks and eventually he admitted that in fact Pandora doesn't work on the phone he recommended to us for just that use. We assumed that he would help us in upgrading to a phone that would work since he was the one led us astray. That was when he went into standard Verizon mode & told us that our 14 days were up & there was nothing he could - or would- do to help us. So we contacted Verizon directly & were told the same thing.
Is this kind of bad customer service typical of Verizon? I don't understand what the big deal was about not helping us to fix our salesman's mistake. If we'd made this mistake on our own, I could see Verizon telling us that we were stuck. But we told them we were newbies & asked for their help.
I'm really disappointed because I bought this phone for my husband so he could enjoy Pandora at work. And now he's stuck with 2 years of making do with other services & hoping that maybe Pandora will help him out. Does anybody have any suggestions as to anything we can do to make this sorry situation work? Thanks.

Very bad customer service!

I am a photographer and in June 2013 I decided to join the newly launched Creative Cloud single application subscription program for Photoshop CC.
At the same time I purchased a Lightroom standard license (Lightroom was not available on the Creative Cloud at that time).
The monthly price for Photoshop CC with a one year commitment was 24,59 Eur for Europe (I live in Czech Republic). I didn’t quite understand how that translates from the 19,99 USD of the US subscription, but fair enough Adobe is not a charity and they have the right to decide to charge what they want for their products. Plus the subscription prices were clearly showed on their website, so I decided to join anyway.
Honestly I was very happy both with Photoshop and Lightroom and I think they are two fantastic pieces of software so I didn’t mind the price I paid for them.
Then a few months after I get a call from my bank saying that my card has been blocked because it might have been compromised following some online payments I made. And after a little research I find out that (citing the Adobe website) “Very recently, Adobe’s security team discovered sophisticated attacks on our network, involving the illegal access of customer information as well as source code for numerous Adobe products. We believe these attacks may be related.
Our investigation currently indicates that the attackers accessed Adobe customer IDs and encrypted passwords on our systems. We also believe the attackers removed from our systems certain information relating to 2.9 million Adobe customers, including customer names, encrypted credit or debit card numbers, expiration dates, and other information relating to customer orders.
Great, now I am for two weeks without card while my bank gets me a new one (they are not that fast in Czech Republic).
Fortunately I also read online that (citing the Adobe website) ”Adobe is also offering customers, whose credit or debit card information was involved, the option of enrolling in a one-year complimentary credit monitoring membership where available.”.
Honestly I misunderstood that as a one year complimentary Creative Cloud membership and I thought that was very nice of Adobe, they didn’t have to do it, and to me it showed an effort to say “we are sorry” and to try to retain their customers’ trust.
Some time passes and I am obviously still getting charged monthly for my subscription.
So I contact Adobe through the online chat…..turns out that I am not eligible for the one year complimentary subscription (none of the agents actually explained to me that I had misunderstood the offer) but after a bit of complaining and waiting online I get offered a one month complimentary subscription!?!?!.
You can make up your own mind on how to interpret that but to me that meant that Adobe recognized their responsibility but tried everything possible to get rid of me with the minimum possible.
The guy on the chat however said that if I am not satisfied I can ask him to escalate.
I do so and he tells me that I will be contacted within 2-3 business days.
A week after I have not been contacted yet, so I call the support again and I am told that they are very sorry for not getting back to me and I will be (again) contacted within 2-3 business days.
TWO weeks after that chat I finally get a mail from Adobe, which is now offering me 2 months complimentary subscription.
I realize I better take what they give me so I reluctantly accept.
Not even a week after that, I realized that Adobe launched a new Photoshop Photography program where they give the Photoshop CC license + Lightroom 5 for 9.99 USD or 12.29 Eur with a yearly commitment. This is half what I pay now, not even considering the one off Lightroom 5 license that I already paid (129.15 Eur). The special offer expires on the 2nd December (less than a week from now at the time of writing this).
The good news is that existing CC subscribers can ask to transfer to this program for free.
So I contact the Adobe support again and they happily confirm that I can switch to the new program.
BUT I would lose the 2 free months as they cannot be transferred to the new program because it is already discounted.
I spend a good deal of effort explaining that the 2 free months are not a discount but are a compensation for me being without card for 2 weeks so I should be able to retain them, but the support person on the other side of the chat just politely dismisses every argument.
I understand that Adobe did not have to allow existing subscriptions to transfer to the new offer for free, I purchased a service and then a few months after the price went down, fair enough this happens.
If the price went up on the other end I would have still kept my original price.
However what infuriates me is that since any existing subscriber can join the cheaper offer, Adobe has actually penalized me in front of all the other customers and the reason why they have penalized me is that my data have been compromised on their servers.
You draw your own conclusions but to me this is very bad customer service.

This is the transcript of the conversation I had with your colleague over the support chat, then unfortunately my connection dropped and I lost him:
Saka: Hi Francesco.
Francesco: Hello
Saka: I have received your initial question. I'll be glad to check and help you with this.
Francesco: thank you
Saka: Sorry for the wait. Please do stay online.
Francesco: ok
Saka: Francesco, I have checked and see that we have issued 2 months free for the subscription Nov 21, 2013. Your next billing date is on 27.2.2014.
Francesco: but I have already been billed on 02.12
Saka: I'll be right with you.
Saka: Are you referring to Clenství ve službe Creative Cloud s jednou aplikací pro Photoshop (rocní) or Program na úpravu fotografií Photoshop (Pro vlastníky licence k produktu CS3 a novejší)?
Francesco: the first one should have been canceled, the second one has been activated
Francesco: with the 2 months free of charge added to it
Saka: Yes, the first subscription has been cancelled.
Francesco: I have been bulled only 12.29 Eur so it is for the second subscription
Francesco: the first one was 24.99 Eur I think
Saka: Yes, you have been charged € 12,29 for the new order Program na úpravu fotografií Photoshop (Pro vlastníky licence k produktu CS3 a novejší).
Saka: You can continue using the subscription without any issues.
Francesco: so where are the 2 months free of charge?
Saka: We have provided 2 months for your Clenství ve službe Creative Cloud s jednou aplikací pro Photoshop (rocní).
Francesco: those have been transferred on the Program na úpravu fotografií Photoshop (Pro vlastníky licence k produktu CS3 a novejší)
Francesco: as confirmed by your colleague and by the mail I received
Francesco: This is the mail confirmation
Francesco: Užívejte si našich služeb o něco déle Bezplatně jsme prodloužili vaše předplatné produktu Program na úpravu fotografií Photoshop (Pro vlastníky licence k produktu CS3 a novější) o několik dalších dnů (62). Nové datum pro obnovu předplatného je nyní 26-únor-2014 (PT). Děkujeme, že jste si předplatili náš produkt! Tým služby Creative Cloud
Francesco: Which confirms that the next billing date for Program na úpravu fotografií Photoshop (Pro vlastníky licence k produktu CS3 a novější) is 26/2/2014
Saka: Francesco, we have provided 2 months free only if you are willing to continue subscription till the commitment date. The order gets cancelled since you have purchased for Program na úpravu fotografií Photoshop (Pro vlastníky licence k produktu CS3 a novejší) at lower rate.

I am sick of the bad customer service

I called to set up new service. I had to use my grandson's phone (personal cell phone) who happens to work for AT&T, and these people refused to help me. He was in the other rooom doing school work while I was on the phone with the company to try and set up service. They are not very helpful when it comes to trying to set up a new account. You try to bring your number from another carrier, they transfer you, and you get transferred to another department after you give them your SSN and then it makes you feel as if your information has been stolen.

If I have to keep putting up with bad service with phone service, then I will not stay with who I am with, and I will not try using AT&T service. It seems as if when I have to use my grandson's my personal phone I could get him in trouble when I have to get ugly with these people for not listening to me, and then they decide to talk over you when you are talking, and I am not happy because it is bad customer service. Someone needs to do something about the employees. My grandson has told me that if I have to start writing down employee names and ID numbers and start reporting them, because it seems like this company does not take the concerns of the customers to the caring level, and when you are a new customer, they don't want to help you.

Bad Customer Service - no solution for Trial Version for CC install

Hi,
I'm having problems to install my CC apps, since I`m having the issue on the apps keep asking for a serial number.
I already tried all the solutions that I found on the foruns: delete cache, install using English International as my preferences on Adobe Manager App, etc etc
That is only happening on my PC with Windows 7. On My Macbook Pro everything is working fine.
Well, today I tried the Chat option from Adobe Customer service, and after I spend a long time with them, they just dropped the connections when they doint have
anyother solution for me.
It waa bad experience from Adobe.
At least I still have some time to cancell my CC signature If I dont get this solved on the next days.

If you don't get any help at this link then I have to agree that it is a bad Customer Service:
<http://forums.adobe.com/community/creative_cloud>
There's nothing you can do because Adobe in their wisdom decided to have these forums so that unpaid volunteers can help customers in exchange for worthless title called MVP.
They also have a call Center in India where the staff are paid huge amounts (thousands of rupees per month) to help you.

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE IN NEWNAN

We had very bad customer service at the NEWNAN, GA BEST BUY. I purchased a notebook with a defective part. Returned the netbook back to the store. Geek Squad looked at it and said the hard drive was defective. They would not do anything except after arguing with us finally offered to send it off for repair. We declined becuase my in laws sent a laptop off to be repaired and ended up paying just as much for the repair and they paid for the computer. This was after they were told they would not pay for anything. Also, were only told they had to pay once the computer was sent off and could not get it back until they paid. $300 LATER THE COMPUTER WAS STILL BROKEN! We were lied to and pused around by everyone we talked to. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there and welcome to the Community. What brand of laptop are we talking about and when was it purchased?

Unbelievably bad service regarding broken MacBook HDD

Hi,
first I want to say that I hope someone from Apple reads this and can help out.
I have always thought that Apple is company with superb service and support making it as easy as possible for it's loyal customers.
Here's the story:
Around christmas time the HDD broke in my MB.
Humac who serves Apple products in Denmark told me that the service would take approx. 10 days.
As I use it a lot it was too long to be without a computer, even if 10 days is reasonable. So I went and bought a new HDD the same day from the shop and tried to install it, to solve everything quickly. It wasn't as easy as I had thought.
The rubber sliders came out together with the broken HDD, probably the glue was to weak for the heat inside the computer..
After trying for hours to put the HDD in the slot together with the rubber I simply gave up. I walked with the computer to Humac and told them to fix it. It annoyed me a little since I knew it would cost more to just install the HDD than the drive had cost itself, just because of bad rubber glue..
Well, then one day this article appeared all over the net:
http://www.apple.com/support/macbook/hd/repairextension/
And this is the most important part:
"Some customers may have paid for out of warranty repairs that qualify under this program. Apple will contact affected customers with details on the reimbursement process."
I was really happy to get some of the money back, but no....
I called Humac, and asked how to proceed to get a refund. They answered me that according to their database, they have not repaired any HDD on my MB, and sort of they where right in that.. But after explaining that I have the broken HDD right next to me, he said that I could come down with it together with the computer to get it all sorted out.
I got to the shop together with my MB and the HDD, and couldn't get to talk with the repair guys, just the sales desk.
I told the story once again, and wanted to leave the 120GB HDD with even a Mac logo printed there, so that they could check that it's faulty. But NO again.
I'm informed that I would have to leave it together with my computer, again for a week!!! Even if the computer now is fixed and fully working?!?!
I really have a hard time believing that a company as big as Apple don't have the tools to test a hard-drive without the users computer.
My point is that I just think the whole thing is insane.
At this point it's not more about money, more about what I'm going to think about the companys (In this case Humac, who are authorized by Apple) service level in the future..
Regards,
Sebastian

You have not been dealing with Apple directly, so this really isn't an Apple customer service failure per se. You've been dealing with an independent company with whom Apple contracts for certain repair services. While Apple attempts to provide stringent guidelines for the behavior of these independent companies, Apple has no direct control over them.
I would first suggest that you contact Humac and insist on speaking to a manager. Then explain the situation to him/her and see if a resolution can be found.
If you can obtain no satisfaction from Human, you can call Apple via their tech support number and ask to speak with a customer relations representative. Then explain the situation to that person and see if they can work with Humac to solve the issue. Note, though, that since you attempted to replace the drive yourself, that complicates matters. Whether or not you can qualify for a reimbursement in this circumstance I don't know.
Good luck.

Bad Customer Services provided by HP

Compaq 610
I purchased my laptop a years ago. I am finding the issues with my Laptops. Some times I found that my lap is overheated issues. I found that the my laps fan is not working. I called hp and asked them what to do? a week ago. And they provided the solution that they will send a person to the home or either I have to take Laptop to the service center.I found that they have to ask for the spare parts in hp. Later they have to fix the problems. But hp center are still not been able to get the quotation from the centers. I am always trying to remind them but they are still not been able to get the Quotation. I am wondering that what will happen if the things goes wrong. I will feel handicapped without my laptop.
I found that services providing by the Service Centers are not only poor but they would take the customers as a granted. I am also having the past bad experiences by service centers like I had given my Laptop for removing the dust & for General servicing.In that process they have taken the long time of 2-3 days. Still when I get my lapy back & I opened the Disc-Reader I found that dust is still there. When I saw them they replied back with the best Answer that things are cleaned from over the parts not outside the parts . I am still in same situation where I am not getting services by the people over there.
This question was solved.

Telstra's bad customer service

I've had some bad experiences with Telstra's disastrous customer service over the years, but this one takes the cake. Let this be a warning to anyone who chooses to do business with this dysfunctional company... I decided to install a landline with bundled internet at my country studio. My studio is rented and is one of two properties on the block, the other belongng to my landlord. I placed the order with Telstra by phone and was notified that a technician would visit to make the line connection. All fine and dandy. As usual I was given a four hour window for the technician's visit, which meant I had to wait at home. This was the first (but normal-for-Telstra) inconvenience. The technician arrived and tested an old landline that was already in my studio and told me it needed repair. He was unable to do the repair himself as this was the responsibilty of a different department within Telstra, he explained. Next contact from Telstra came in the form of a phone call from another technician who turned up without notice while I was away interstate. I explained that I wasn't given any notice of his visit and he replied 'niether was I'. So he met with my landlord in the other house, checked the line and said that Telstra wouldn't repair the fault because it ran from one house to the other and not directly from the terminal in the street. Aparently the first technician had a different opinion, or he could have told me the same thing. Incidentally the house to house line was originally installed by Telstra. Then a few days later Telstra's Indian call centre rang me and explained that the phone line had been repaired and that another technician would attend to make the actual phone connection. I explained what I'd been told about Telstra not being able to do the repair, but I was assured it had been done. I was given a new four hour block of time during which I had to wait for another technician to turn up. This day and time came and went without any sign of Telstra. I rang their call centre and was told that the date I'd been given was wrong. Two days later I'm at home wasting another four hours of my time and hoping that Telstra has their act together at last. The four hour block comes and goes with no sign of Telstra. Then my landlord knocks at my door with a slip of paper. The technician had indeed visited but hadn't bothered to talk to me. He instead was quite rude to my landlord and said that Telstra would not repair the line (same story as the second technician gave). Apparently these technicians from the line repair department don't talk to the call cantre. By this time almost a month had passed since I placed the order with Telstra and I'm at the end of my tether. I expect terrible custoer service from Telstra (based on past experience) but this has been the worst yet. The day after the third technician had visited and spoken to my landlord (not me), the Indian call centre rang and asked if I was happy with my new phone connection. I explained that the phone was not connected at all, that I was fed up with Telstra's dysfunctional service and I wanted to cancel my order. The operator explaned that the third technician had actually connected the service as it was ringing. I checked my landline phone (again) and explained that I had no dial tone at my end due to the faulty line. I demanded the cancellation of my order and was advised that the call centre could not cancel orders and that I'd need to talk to a different department. I refused to be placed in a phone queue and demanded that the call centre arrange with the other department to have my order cancelled. After some discussion the operator said he would connect me directly and I was placed in a queue. I waited 10 minutes then hung up (all the calls were made to/from my mobile phone). The next day I receved an email from Telstra congratulaing me on my new phone and internet connection and providing log in details etc. I was not happy. Again I rang the Indian call centre and complained. This time they offered to call me back when they had someone from Telstra's complaints department on the line. I was eventually connnected to someone in Australia who said that they were unable to help but who'd put me through to a different department, the service disconnection department. I refused to be put in a phone queue and the operator promised that someone would call me back within three business days. A couple of days later someone else rang me from Telstra and again they didn't know the full story so, as with every phone call, I had to explain my situation again. This person seemed to have the power to arrange the cancellation of my order. I made it clear that I would not be paying Telstra anything as they had not provided me with a service. The operator said that someone from another Telstra department would call me and confirm the disconnection and the waiving of all charges. Finally, the next day I received a call from yet another Telstra department who tried to steer me into some other solution. I impressed on him that I wanted to cancel my order and he agreed to do so. He explained that I would be billed but that I should ignore the bill as all related charges would be waived. The outcome? Many hours of wasted time on my part. Three visits by Telstra technicians for no result. No service provided. I have never dealt with a more dysfunctional company than Telstra. Their internal organisation and communications are disasterous. I came to understand that one or more of the technicians who visited my home were not Telstra employees but contractors. Between Telstra's Indian call centre, their Australia-based employees, local technicians and local contractors the company has designed a bureacratic debacle. I'll bet the shareholders have been sold a story about efficient cost-cutting strategies. I wonder how much my cancelled order cost the company? How often does that happen Telstra? If only they had more competition....!!!

MORE quality telstra customer service. On wednesday i finally signed onto get cable broadband, although they cant get anyone out to me (in a CBD location) until jan 6th. But thats ok, i work from home and my connection now just about works for me. Anyway after an hour or so on the fone messing around sorting this out i received assurances that my adsl2+ connection would stay on until cable was indeed put in my premises on the 6th. Lo and behold, 930 the following morning, whilst working of course, my internet dropped out. and wouldnt come back on, so i let work know and rang telstra... And im informed after about 30 mins that my connection is off because .... you guessed it.. some moron had processed it without reading the notes they said had been definitely placed on my account... and shut down adsl2+ in preparation... now i know i dont expect too much comon sense but you would think someone might ask themselves.. "do these ppl really want to be without internet for 2.5 weeks over chrismtas/new year"? Anyway for another hour i was cursing and moaning on the phone to every dept and being told that they couldnt do anything for me for 4-5 business days as it would be like a new account. FINALLY someone helped me. and it was back on within 24 hours. Although he did have to re-sign me up for a 24 month contract to do so, so god knows what kind of bill i will get in january. Prob triple payments or something stupid. These clowns have no idea, regardless of what the moderators say on here and telstra apologists.. these clowns could have cost me my job. and all you get from somebody in india or the phillipines who doesnt deserve the abuse is a sorry, we cant help you. I have worked in a a few countries and i have never ever dealt with such poor customer service at telstra.. I implore any and everyone who signs onto these ppl for anything to check with them over and over, ask to be put through to somoene in australia (its not racist just prudent to want to talk to someone who can fully understand you) and make sure they know exactly what you want. Probably wont make a spot of difference.

Laughably bad customer service

The experience:
11 month old Yoga 13 - love the computer overall
Knocked it off the table last night, freaked out, picked it up, not too bad! Broke the middle piece of the DC-in jack, but was able to make it work in the meantime. Simple, cheap part, and a relatively simple fix so I figure I dodged a bullet.
The trouble begins!
1. Call the Lenovo authorized service provider (per lenovo.com) in my area. They stopped servicing Lenovos two years ago, but the website never gets updated.
2. Call the next closest authorized service center (2 hours away from me).
Them: "We only service Think- systems."
Me: "No big deal, this isn't covered by warranty anyway, but can you help me get the part?"
Them: "Best bet is to try eBay."
Me: "Um, is that trustworthy?"
Them: "Yeah, most of the time."
Oh, here we go.
3. Search for part online, find Lenovospareparts.com!!! They're official and authorized! Website says to call since the site won't be updated after Nov 2013 (this is the official parts site?). Okay, I call.
Before even asking for the part number they want my name, email, cell phone number, alternate phone number, and mailing address. Annoying, but they'll surely have the part since this is Lenovo's official number, so I give them all of the info. Finally, he asks for part number -
Lenovo Rep: "Oh, for the Yogas we don't usually have parts in stock, but I'll check." (I get a feeling for how this will go.) "Nope, we don't have it. I can put in a request but that usually takes two months or more."
Me: "I don't understand how you don't have the part. The computer is less than a year old."
Rep: "Yessir, we can repair it for you for a fee."
Me: "Sure, I realize this isn't covered by warranty and there's a fee, but how long would that take?"
Rep: "About a week after we receive it from you. It'll be an $80 deposit to start." (The part itself is only ~$10)
Me: "So you have the part to fix it if I pay you, but you don't have the part to sell to me even though I'm more than capable?"
Rep: "Yessir, while you may be capable, Lenovo doesn't want customers fixing their own computers as it might mess things up and would void the warranty." (The warranty only has about two weeks left on it, so by the time I get it back from them it'll be out of warranty anyway, and to reitterate, this isn't covered by warranty anyway!)
Me: "This is very frustrating and ridiculous, but I realize you're not the one responsible, so thank you for your help." (I worked customer service for years and realize he's just the front line guy, not the one making decisions - no ill will towards him.)
TL;DR: Lenovo site full of bad info. Closest Lenovo authorized service center won't service my 11-month old Yoga, suggest I look on eBay for parts. Lenovo themselves will take two months to find the part for me to buy, but will have the part in a week if I pay them to fix it. Now I'm off to eBay.
I hate Dell as a rule, but the fact they're just down the road and there are parts galore mean I'm going to have to consider them now for computer purchases where I work. I love this Yoga, and wanted to price similar systems for my staff, but I can't risk having to deal with this on a regular basis.

BADI for Service Order Validations on Timesheets .

Hi Experts,
I am working on the Timesheets - Record working times (CAT2 transaction).
The Client requirement is that certain validation should be put on the Service Orders / Rec. Orders before an employee can book his timesheet against that particular Service Orders / Rec. Orders .
Currently there are no validations on these Service Orders and the employee can book his timesheets against any service order from the search help .
Is there any BADI / User Exit through which this can be achieved.
Thanks

Solved by self.

Unbelievably bad BT service
