Very insulted. How to file a complaint against a bestbuy manager?

I went to the Pasadena store on Foothill to purchase a tablet today, and while I was there, I inquired about the 10% student discount. After speaking to several employees who were unable to answer my question, I was directed to the manager, Matt, who informed me that I had to provide proof of enrollment. 
When I tried to log in to my school account on a nearby tablet, the internet connection kept failing, so the manager told me to try logging in on an iMac instead. As I walked by him to the Mac section of the store, I heard him say, under his breath, to another employee "If it's not too difficult for you." 
Once logged in, I turned to another employee who had been helping me before and told him that the manager’s comment was extremely rude and that I wanted to file a complaint. The employee acknowledged that the manager’s comment was inappropriate but simply replied with, "Oh, I didn't say that. He is my supervisor... so," implying that nothing could or would be done to hold the manager accountable. To add fuel to the fire, the manager came back and gave me attitude about applying the discount, even though I had provided proof as requested.
I find it completely unacceptable and insulting that a Best Buy store manager made such rude comments about me. I can only speculate whether he said those comments because of my age, gender, race, or some other factor, but either way, a comment such as the one he made has no place in a retail setting, especially from the mouth of a store manager.
It is disconcerting to me that even an employee would say that nothing could be done even if I filed a complaint. How can Best Buy not hold its store managers and employees accountable for the way they treat and speak to customers? Regretfully, I will never return to that Best Buy store and am considering never stepping foot into a Best Buy again. Hopefully, you can take this information and use it to provide a better customer experience.

Hello ahu,
I was very shocked and disappointed to read about your experience at the Pasadena store. This does not in any way approach the kind of stellar level of service to which we aspire! There is never a circumstance where it is appropriate or acceptable for our store representatives or managers to be anything but respectful when you visit our stores. I'd like to offer my personal apology for your having had to endure such unprofessional behavior.
Despite the poor performance of the manager in question, were you able to get the information you needed and complete the purchase that you intended to make? Did you happen to note the first name of the manager? In any event, I will be forwarding your remarks to the store's general manager so that he or she is aware of what occurred and can take the necessary steps to ensure that it doesn't happen again and that your next visit to this store provides for a better experience.
I'm very grateful that you brought your situation to my attention.
Sincerely,
John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

  • I need to know how to file a complaint against Addmired, Inc

    I have been playing the games offered by Addmirred Inc (iMob, Global War, Original Gangstaz) as do my kids.  I am being harassed continually by several other players in these games, and repeated attempts to contact Addmirred do no good at all.  I have tried to contact the developers of the game using their posted twitter feed, through Facebook, even sending emails reporting the harassment and threats using the "Contact" form on their company website.  I have received no response.
    I am unable to even play the games because of the level of harassment and attacks..  and while this is a small detail my 12 year old son also plays their games and I don't want HIM to find himself being targeted by people the way I have been.  The games are rife with hackers, players who have no weapons, no 'gang', and yet can destroy a legitimate player with only a few hits. 
    I have paid money into these games for extra points to help in building my game strength, and have also paid money for my children to do so as well.
    In a multi-player game like this, there should be some way to report such blatant harassment and yet there is not.  You can click a 'report' button but it does nothing.  I have been sending reports and trying to reach someone at this company for some time, and at this point am going to make my kids remove their games from their ipods / iphones as well as remove their products from my iphone as well.   A game should be a bit of fun, not a place to be subjected to profanity, threats, and constant harassment from a few people who have jailbroken phones or ipods and are able to cheat by hacking the game.
    There has to be a way to complain to Apple about the level of harassment taking place in these games...
    Anyone know how?

    Please post this question in the database forum for an appropriate response: General Database Discussions

  • How to file a Complaint with Verizon

    I don’t know how to file a complaint with, or about, Verizon customer service.  After calling Verizon I was shuffled between departments, supervisors, and finally directed to “verizon.com/contactus”.  After spending an hour browsing the “contact us” section of the website, it became abundantly clear that I would not be able to find what I was looking for on the website. 
    A month ago I was in the middle of the moving process and was dreading the seemingly inevitable process of setting up the internet/television/phone, a process that I had to do many times before.  My son had informed me of Verizon’s transfer service, also known as “Moving with Verizon”.  As we were only moving 3 miles down the road, I figured that I would visit my local Verizon store as this would continue to be the store I turn to if I chose to stay with Verizon.  I had several concerns that I wanted to have addressed, chief among them were:
    - I have built up a significant number of movie titles in my digital library.  If I stay with Verizon, will I be able to keep the movies that I had purchased? 
    - Each time I move I am inconvenienced with having to distribute my new phone number to my friends and family.   Will I be able to keep my current phone number if I stay with Verizon?
    - When I first started with Verizon I had significantly less credit with Video on Demand than I do now.  If I stay with Verizon, will I have to go through the grueling process of building up my credit again?
    The sales associate was very kind and willing to help.  I was assured that
    -          I should be able to retain my purchases with Video On Demand
    -          I can bring my phone number from my previous address
    -          My Video on Demand credit could possibly be reset after the transfer, but a single phone call to customer service could set my credit back to normal with minimal effort
    Throughout my questioning I was assured that my current services would transfer uninterrupted by the time of the move.  As you could imagine I was ecstatic.  We scheduled a technician to show up to the new house, when I asked the representative on the phone “What should I do with my current cable boxes and internet router while I wait for the technician?”  I was told that the technician would handle it. 
    The technician arrived two weeks ago, we were given a box and instructed to package the previous equipment and drop it off at our local Verizon store.  The technician gave us our new number, when we asked him about our previous number he appeared to not know what we were talking about.   He was apologetic about the mix up and gave us a phone number that we could contact.  Shortly after the technician left, my family noticed that our digital library was completely empty.  The next day I went back to the Verizon store, was apologized to, and then instructed to only place one order in at a time, because multiple orders on a single account tend to slow each other down.  We decided to resolve the issues one at a time starting with the phone.
    My wife called and was told to wait a day or two.  After waiting two days, my wife informed me that she was bounced between different departments over the course of several days, but was assured that the issue was resolved.  I told my wife that I would handle the future endeavors with Verizon as she appeared to be a little flustered by the experience.  I later received a courtesy call from Verizon confirming that our phone number was restored.  I asked the lady whom I was talking to whether she could help me with my VoD service or transfer me to someone who could.  She assured me that she could help and asked me whether or not we had received new set-top boxes for our televisions. After I informed her of the new boxes, she apologized to me and informed me that due to copyright infringement laws that our digital library was lost and that we could not receive any kind of compensation.  I decided to call customer service, and after talking to representative for almost half an hour I was placed on hold and then told that there was nothing that could be done at this time and that I was going to be disconnected, before I could respond I was hung up on.
    Three nights ago I took my concern back to the Verizon store as I dropped off our previous equipment.  I was given several new phone numbers.  That evening I spent over 2 ½ hours on hold waiting for a representative.  After explaining my situation I was transferred to another representative who worked with me and put in a work order to have our digital library restored.  I was quoted 48 hours, but the issue was resolved that evening. 
    Not intending to cause any more issues with Verizon until our digital library issue was resolved, my family abstained from renting or purchasing any movies from Video on Demand.  I had promised my son and grandson that if the movies were restored, I would add the new Star Trek movie to our library so that we could watch it together. I was slightly irked to realize that when I tried to add a new title to my library an error message would pop up.  I called the number on the message and entered the error code.  I was placed on hold for almost an hour.  When I finally reached a representative, he informed me that the problem was that my credit had been reset during the move and the issue could only be resolved by another department which had just closed for the evening.  I decided to work at home the next day so that I could watch the movie when my son came home that evening.  The next morning I called and realized that the opening time quoted to me was obviously in a different time zone.  When I finally reached an agent, 2 hours later, I was told that I was 5 dollars over my credit limit.  I informed the representative of my situation, as proof I pointed to the fact that the bill that I had paid earlier this week was almost 200 dollars more than my current statement.  I was asked to wait 30 minutes and to call back if the issue hadn’t resolved itself within an hour.  An hour later I called, explained my situation to another representative, and was told to call back in an hour if the problem hadn’t resolved itself.  An hour later I called and after being sent to several different representatives I was asked to call back in an hour if the issue hadn’t resolved itself.
    Meanwhile my wife was contacted at worked by Verizon, informing her that there was no record of us returning the equipment and that we could be facing additional charges if we did not straighten out the issue.  After spending the next several hours assuring my wife and showing her how on the receipt, each piece of equipment was clearly scanned and entered into the system, I decided to call customer service again as my VoD was still displaying the same error message.  I was apologized to yet again, and was told that my order was being slowed down due to a high number of unresolved issues on our account.  I was assured that he would clear out the mess and that we should be able to order movies that evening, if not I should call back in 24 hours.  I apologized to my son and grandson yesterday evening, both of them took it surprisingly well.  This evening I waited until 7:30 to contact customer service (31 hours after I was told to wait 24 hours), I was placed on hold again and again for over an hour and a half.  I finally was told that my account would be cleared out to resolve the issue, I informed the gentleman that I was already told that would be done and then referenced the ticket number that I had received (and double-checked) from the gentleman the day before.  After speaking to his supervisor about the issue I was informed that there was no record of this action nor was there any ticket number matching the one I had given him.  The gentleman tried to help me for several more minutes until he transferred me to another department because neither he nor his supervisors could understand why my account wasn’t letting him change the date on my ticket, as he had reset all my resolved issues. 
    I explained my situation to the representative who after reviewing my account information informed me that I could have had the issue resolved on the 29th of August but someone during my process removed my order.  She then informed me that due to the number of unresolved orders on my account the system could not let her schedule a credit increase until the 26th of September.  After repeatedly asking her what I could do to expedite this process, I came to realize that all she could do was repeat to me the information that she had already said.  I then asked her who I could talk to resolve this issue or file a complaint.  After rambling for several minutes I was then transferred to the billing department.  After explaining my situation, yet again, to another representative, my account was reviewed again, and I was once again informed that I was over my credit limit.  After going into details a little more intimately, I was assured that the earliest that I could receive the credit increase was the 26th of September, and that I should make another payment.  I informed her that I had just paid over $550 dollars on my last bill and had given up the majority of my free time over the last 2 weeks trying to resolve issues that I was assured wouldn’t be a problem by a Verizon representative.   I asked if I could receive a small credit to my account ($30) so that I could just watch the movie and feel like I received a small victory for sacrificing so much of my time.  She informed me that only her supervisor could make that call.  She informed me that I would have to wait around 15 minutes on hold (what’s 15 minutes when I’ve already waited 8+ hours on hold?).  After explaining my situation to Cornell he reviewed my account and then reworded what I had just told him.  He informed me that the department that deals with my issue (the department that just transferred me to billing) was now closed and that I would have to wait until Tuesday (4 days) to have my issue resolved.  After explaining the fruitlessness of dealing with that exact department with the exact information he was trying to send me off with, he placed me on hold for several minutes and then came back and agreed to only meet me half way, a $15 dollar credit.  I was extremely offended.  This is not even 3% of my average bill.  $15 for 2 weeks of unsatisfactory service, in addition to 12+ hours of my personal time in addition to my wife’s time and visiting the Verizon store.  After explaining to Cornell that $15 was less than satisfactory, I asked for an email address or a complaint line.  He agreed with me that it was frustrating and explained to me that it was getting late for his department “almost 11:40 in the evening”, the exact time where I am.  He gave me Verizon.com/contactus, which after reviewing the page, I became insulted.  I have continually followed up with my phone calls and stayed loyal to Verizon, following the instructions of each representative that I have talked to in the last several days.
    Verizon has provided both my family and me with an excellent entertainment package as well as outstanding customer service in the past.  I would like to believe that despite the fact that I was lied to by both a sales representative and a supervisor that my family’s experience over that last few weeks with Verizon is not a common one.  I am more than willing to place this movie order on my next bill, all I ask is that you please help me to enjoy the advertised early release and to enjoy the services I previously had with your company.

    We've been having problem with our Verizon Fios set up since the moment we moved in to our new place. We've had several technicians come through, and then eventualy aftet two weeks of setting up appoitments and calling the customer service folks, they were finally able to resolve the issue. However, the nightmare doesn't end here. Last week, our neighbors switched over to Verizon Fios, and their technician swtiched our cables with theirs ( what a sloppy, lazy, job) meaning that they unplugged everything that was running to our apartments and transferred over to their becuase they didn't want to put in the extra work to chech and make sure that everyone was getting service. After, we had noticed the problem, my husband called  customer service to put in a ticket for the technician to come through and resolve the issue. The ticket was made for Wednesday, Nov 7th, 2013  under ticket number {edited for privacy}, the rep had clealry stated that a technician will come anytime from 3 - 7, which meant that one of us had to be home. My husband took off work and waited for the technician to come through, however, NOBODY showed up. Instead, they told us that they were came at 5 oclock but nobody was home. The same day we called customer service again, and reschudeled to the next day. Thankfully, someone showed up at literally 7pm, meanwhile my husband was waiting at home since 3pm. After hounding them down and calling every hour to make sure that they would show up. Sure enough, they coudn't fix the wiring with out a bucket truck, which the technician mentioned he didn't have since it was already late in the game and eveything was closed. So again, my husband called to make another appoitment, for Saturday, November 9th, 2013, and again, the customer service people  confirmed that someone will show up on this day from 8am-12pm. Guess what!? NOONE came, because NOONE issued a ticket, meanwhile we knew for a FACT that we made an appoitment. It's been one week, and no end to this problem. I am appalled, that a multibillion dollar company such as Verizon has such poor customer service in this area. It is sickening and sad, that noone can come and fix a small issue such as this. I hope that this will be resolved tomorrow, ( as they confirmed that they will come on Sunday) if not we have no other choice but to cancel our services and switch to something else. If only Google fiber was in town, things would have been so much easier, and not OVERPAID, especially now with the CRAPPY service we've been getting. 

  • Could anyone show me how to file a complaint with Verizon Customer Service?

    I would first like to state that this is my first time having an issue with Verizon Customer Service.In all my years of using their service, I had never run into someone that truly had no idea what they were talking about. I would like to file a complaint to save everyone from experiencing the frustration I am feeling and from wasting your time.
    Here is the story, so that you can understand the reason why I would like to file a complaint;
    My phone has always had an SD Card in addition to the phone memory because my phone memory is already tiny, less than 1 GB.I put things that cannot be put on my SD Card (my text messages, contacts, etc.).
    This past week I kept on receiving air messages that my phone memory was full. I deleted most of my text messages but I still received air messages that my phone memory was "full".  I therefore decided to call Verizon Wireless to see if they could help me solve my problem or at least educate me on what was taking space in my phone memory.
    Well, I unfortunately had the luck of being connected with a representative named "Naima" and I told her about my phone memory problem. She said she knew how to fix my problem and instructed me to click on the "Format SD Card" button. Following her instructions blindly, I never once stopped to consider that clicking on that button would erase everything. And so  ALL my pictures, ringtones, and videos were erased.
    Trying to fix her mistake she dug herself into a deeper hole. Instead of admitting that she had made a mistake she claimed that my pictures, ringtones, and videos could be recovered, She had me access Backup Assistant, but my stuff was NOT saved there. I later learned that my phone's Backup Assistant can only save contacts, NOT pictures. She knew what phone I had (representatives have all the phone's info and history) yet she led me in circles and wasted my time and could not own up to her mistake.
    What upsets me is the fact that she did not even KNOW that the phone memory and SD Card are 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT things.And also she could not own up to her mistake, but instead wasted at least an hour of my time trying to get Backup Assistant to do something it could not.
    I then attempted to file a complaint to found that Verizon makes it Virtually Impossible to file a complaint, only through MAIL! Really??

    Well actually sending a certified return receipt letter to Verizon Wireless may or may not do any good. you can also file a complaint here http://www.bbb.org
    Those out of memory messages usually mean internal memory is getting full. I have no idea of your make and model of device but there are many articles via google that tell you how to transfer files from internal memory to sd card memory.
    Now on the off chance your sd card is nearing its capacity you can either hook to your computer via usb and the computer will show two drive letters. One is internal memory and the other is the sd card memory. If its internal memory and your sd card is not full you can drag and drop the files to the sd card. However you can also get a card reader and then make a saved files folder on your desktop, then cut and paste any or all movable files to that new folder you just created. its really very easy.
    You can also remove files from internal memory (music, photos,documents) to that folder on your desktop. You can also remove all files and photos from the sd card on a regular basis to never have that low memory problem again. I always purchase the largest sd card that is usable on my device and never save anything like music and photos to internal memory.

  • How to File a Complaint

    I recently had one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a company with Verizon.  I had called to setup my internet and TV in late June for a date in late July. Come late July on the date it was to be installed I recieved an automated call saying my date for installation was being moved.  I pressed "2" to not confim this date and speak with a representative.  Once I was transferred the representative told me everything was okay and they would be at my place between 1-5 on that day and I had nothing to worry about.  Around 4:30 I called customer service to check again and note that the time was getting close.  This representative also assured me everything was fine and they would be there soon.  He even went as far as to say, "you won't be calling us back."  5:30 comes and again I call and say something and the representative tells me that he must just be running late and I should wait another hour before calling back.  Needless to say they never showed up.  I called back in an hour but customer service was close.  I finally got through to someone in the Repair Service Center and they were let me know I could reschedule for 4 days later to have my services connected.  I let them know this was unacceptable and demanded a supervisor.  They said okay, I was transferred...but it wasn't to a supervisor...it was to someone in customer service who told me the same thing the last person told me.  This representative then placed me on a 20 minute hold for a supervisor and came back to say "the supervisor is still on another call and told me I could give you a $40 bill credit and we could only have the installation moved to 4 days later.  The representative then told me he would place a follow-up on my accound and have a supervisor call me in 2 days (the next day was a Sunday so I understood that) and maybe they could move my installation up.  That day came and went and I recieved no call from any supervisor or anyone.  I called myself today and explained my situation and demanded to speak to a supervisor.  I was placed on hold for 10 minutes and was then told by the same representative that nothing could be done but schedule the installation for a much later date. I understand that I can't get it installed any sooner because there are other appointments and they can't bump someone else.  I just find it amazing how every person I talked to was incompetent from start to finish.  Now I can't even file a complaint to anyone because I can't get a supervisor no matter how many times I ask.  I am also now 5GB over my Verizon Wireless data plan because I needed the internet for school work on the day I asked for the installation.  So that $40 bill credit I was given is going to go back with them.  And the 6-7 hours I waited home all day waiting for installation that never showed...well I guess that was only worth $40.  And the 4 extra days I have to wait now with countless hours on the phone and on hold with them...well I suppose that is only worth $40 too.  I have been a long customer of Verizon Wirelss and was looking forward to their TV and internet service, but I am having severe doubts.  If I can't get through to some sort of supervisor or complaint department within the next day or two I'm going to cancel my installation that is scheduled for two days from now. Please someone tell me how to write an e-mail to Verizon to file a complaint.  It baffles my mind that they would allow this to happen to anyone.

  • I need to file a complaint against local store and sales people. How?

    I am a long time AT&T Customer.   I had heard many good things about Verizon so I went to the local store and signed up as a new customer.  I went in wanting a smartphone with 6 gb, unlimited text and minutes.  The salesman told me he had a better option for me, I signed up on a 2 year contract with a Samsung 5 phone and he told me a  separate device (hotspot) would serve me better.  I repeatedly asked the cost and he told me $2.40 a month.  I spent over 2+ hours in the store for this transaction.
    When I got home and started going through what was sold to me I saw charges that  I was not aware of. I had been told I would receive a form for a $50. rebate for the Samsung 5 which I wasn't given.  I then received a bill for $251.00.  I tried logging into my Verizon account and was told I was not the main account holder so I could not view my account.  I was very frustrated at this point.  I went back into the store to resolve all of these issues.  Another 2 hours and I found out that my phone only had 1gb on it and  the little box (hotspot) I had been sold had 5gb on it and I needed to carry it with me to be able to have access to data. I then found out that my account had been registered under the phone number for the hotspot - the salesman(the same one that sold me these items) worked on the store computer and said he fixed it,  I then asked about the large bill that I received. He looked it up and told me that I had been charged for 6gb on my phone and 6 gb on the hotspot. I wanted to return the hotspot box and he told me I would be charged a $35.00 restocking fee.  I am so frustrated with this salesman and this store.  I went home and returned today to talk to the manager. She also told me the same thing. 
    I went into the Verizon store to sign up for new service, buy a new phone with 6 GB on it with unlimited text and minutes.  That’s all. I do not want to carry a separate device around with me.
    Now I have a device I have no use for, a bill for $251.00 4 days after  I went into the store and  I cannot access my account because I’m not the main person.

    rcschnoor, excuse my confusion...
    What is the $2.40 a month charge and how is my contract of $50 cheaper? I certainly don't know what the $2.40/month charge is as I was not there when Linjin made the purchase and I made no mention that your contract was $50 cheaper.
    This brings up an interesting question. If Linjin was signing a 2 year contract on a Samsung 5 that has a hotspot why would the salesperson sell Linjin a seperate device? That would certainly depend on how Linjin explained how the device would be needed/used. I can certainly see where a separate device would be beneficial depending on the circumstances. For example, running the hotspot shortens the life of your phone's battery before it needs a recharge. If this is going to be a problem, a separate device would be beneficial. The battery life of a Samsung Galaxy S5 is not the most stellar and THAT could have been a consideration. I don't know, I wasn't there. Additionally the hotspot would be useless if you were on a call and not within a 4G signal. While voice/data can be used simultaneously on the Samsung Galaxy S5, I believe that is only when receiving a 4G signal. Again, I wasn't there and did not hear the requirements of the OP or how it was explained the device would be used.
    I do not see where Linjin states it was a pre-paid device I never stated that Linjin had a prepaid device. I simply stated with how YOU wanted to use a jetpack, YOU described it as being able to suspend and not pay for service whenever you didn't need service. THAT is the description of a PRE-PAID JETPACK. My post made NO reference to Linjin at all, I was simply commenting that the way YOU were wanting to use a jetpack that a pre-paid jetpack was what YOU should have gotten.
    If you reread the original post it basically taljks about what the customer was told by a Verizon Rep., How they were treated and was what they were told correct. I agree with that. Unfortunately, I was commenting on YOUR situation, not on the OP.

  • How can I file a complaint against Verizon?

    My husbands phone went bad and they send out a galaxy s4 with no battery or back for it, and expect us to order it from Samsung who did not have them in stock then expect us to order from Amazon. All of this instead of sending a new phone, which they should have if they didn't have the battery and back for what they sent. How stupid can they be???? This is terrible customer service in my opinion.

    SharDoss wrote:
    You are not understanding what is being said.  We did not ask for a different phone. His phone was under warranty. If they did not have a Motorola Droid M, they should have sent the battery and back for the phone they sent. Their excuse was they did not stock the refurbished phones with the backs (if you return a phone to them you are required to send the back cover back also). The battery came in to their stock over the weekend and was mailed by way of USPS on the 18th (yesterday). We received the back from Amazon today but no battery, because the rep didn't want to send it overnight shipping. It comes down to this - if they did not have a complete phone to send, then why wouldn't they send a new one instead of half a phone. I understand the policy of the warranty of replacing it with a like new phone which is a refurbished one, but at least if it was a different style, send the whole phone!!!!!!!!!  That is what is stupid about the whole situation.
    The ONLY time I have ever returned a phone to Verizon for a warranty issue, I was specifically told to keep the back AND battery, so no you are NOT "required to send the back cover back also".
    Additionally, of course Verizon doesn't "stock" refurbished phones for warranty issues. It is a manufacturer warranty. Verizon simply facilitates the manufacturers warranty if you do not want to go thru the manufacturer. While Verizon offers this service, they are in no way required to do so and do not guarantee a quick turnaround if your model is not in stock.
    Next time, go thru the manufacturer if you are not happy with how Verizon facilitates the manufacturers warranty.

  • Need help on how to file a complaint

    I've never had to complain against a utility before - but on 9/30/10 I was given a price guarantee for 2 yrs for my landline by "chris" in Tampa, FL - and my bill keeps going up. I spoke with Andrea in Escalations today who told me that my bill can go up any time for any reason and that Verizon doesn't have to abide by price guarantees. When I asked for assistance, she said that she couldn't do anything, that there was no supervisor higher than her to talk to (really? I was speaking with a VP or President???) and that she had no ideas about how to resolve my issues (namely being promised a price by a Verizon employee who assured me that the price was guaranteed for 2 yrs).  She would not offer a credit, would not let me speak to anyone else and refused to do anything. I've read lots of complaints about customer service and Verizon - but this is a fraudulent pricing practice and although I'd rather not file complaints with the FCC, FTC and California Public Utilities Commission - I'm not sure what to do at this point.

    How would you expect this to work if you didn't give "filename" a value?

  • Does anybody know how to file a complaint within Verizon?

    • I have been long standing customer of Verizon and have had corporate, personal land lines, Internet and Wireless accounts with them for over 20 years.
    • On 01/09/15 I called up customer service at Verizon Wireless to complain about $150 in international call to Canada made during the months of November and December 2014.
    • I expressed concern that I used to have an international plan for years with them that covered calls to Canada and that after my plan had been changed last year at Verizon's recommendation, this feature no longer seemed to be part of my new plan.
    • I requested a credit of some sort to reflect my many years of customer loyalty with them, my very limited usage of my wireless line and additional business that I gave them regularly.
    • Not only was Connie - a supervisor in customer service - not willing to provide me with any relief; she insisted that plan details and changes were communicated to me in writing and it was my responsibility to read and sift through the fine print!
    • It is indeed very disheartening to be treated in fashion by a well respected company like Verizon, whom I have used for many years. 
    • Hope someone reading this feedback will make a note - this is not how loyal customers ought to be treated.  I will most certainly be looking at competitive alternatives for ALL my telecommunications needs in the coming days.
    • Does anybody on this forum know where to file a formal complaint and/or escalate an issue within Verizon?

  • Lost serial numer and how to file a complaint.

    Hello
    referencing case
    Case #0215015391
    Case #0214861222
    Case #0215015279
    Case #0214955367
    I am incredibly frustrated and appalled at the customer service I have received whilst attempting to resolve a lost serial number.
    My hard drive became faulty and I had to replace it. Whilst trying to reinstall my educational copy of CS6 I realised I had lost my serial number (but had my product code <Removed by Moderator> .
    I contacted Adobe and was told to provide proof of purchase. I received my copy of CS6 through my Disabled Student Allowance, which means it was purchased on my behalf by a funding body and brought from a specialist company (Invate). I have contacted both establishments and all the documents they could provide me with where an invoice and a quote for the equipment. I have also provided my proof of eligibility at the time and the university email address the serial number would have been sent to.
    I first contacted adobe customer service on the 9th of February, three of my cases have been withdrawn without any contact or explanation. All that was posted on the cases was a short sentence saying we have not received a response from you. I was told I would be emailed. I have contacted Adobe customer services four times, all that happens is they open a new case which ends up being withdrawn. I have spent many hours talking to your customer service and emailing companies to find proof of purchase. I have also lost three weeks of work and access to my files due to a lack of any response, general neglect and poor service.
    I am incredibly annoyed and saddened by the lack of assistance.I have loved using adobe’s products but this is unacceptable treatment.
    I want to file and official complaint and I want this issue resolved immediately.

    Bethanyw45329462 I am sorry that you are facing a frustrating experience locating your registered serial number.  I did review your account and case 214861222 has been escalated.  I also show that you have attached your proof of eligibility and proof of purchase to the case.
    If you do recall the e-mail address which was utilized to register your Creative Suite 6 software title you can locate it under the account at http://www.adobe.com/.  Additional details regarding how to locate registered serial numbers can be found at Find your serial number quickly.  Creative Suite 6 will register to an Adobe ID as part of the activation process so it is likely that the software title was registered.  If there any additional e-mail address or phone numbers that the software would be registered under please feel free to update case 214861222 with the details.
    If you continue to experience difficulties you are welcome to update this discussion.

I said I wait here at Bestbuy out there until finish installation. After more than 5 hours. I come in the Bestbuy mobile installation there. and the lady tell me my car is broke fuse link. The vehicle will not start. and also she said she did not touch anything. I ask why the fuse is broke if you did not touch anything. she said the fuse broke all the time. It is normal. My car less than 1400 miles. just like new. My all family use Toyota. 6 year never broke the engine fuse. She try to tell me the fuse link broke is not because the installation process. She try to tell is not her responsibility. She said already call Woburn Toyota repair on Monday. I m so worry about my car. I take the subway to Wellington station and walk to Bestbuy on the next day. and then she tell me the car has to tow to Woburn Toyota to repair. on August 4. I went to Bestbuy with my friends. We talk to the Geek Squad manager I think his name is Jason. He tell me the car can fix and pick up today about 1PM,  I called Woburn Toyota and they tell me pick up my car. after pick up my car. I have to go back to Bestbuy finish the remaining installation because the viper already installed in my car. About 2:30PM. Tom said it take about 20 to 30 minutes to program the key. after Program the key. It has problem to start the engine. Sometime the engine start only a few seconds it shut it down. He don't know how to program the key, the key has the code has to match the car. Tom keep try and try to start the engine until the car battery is dead. and then use the  jump starter to charge the battery. and keep try and try. I don't remember how many time he try to start the engine. it make me very scare. I ask Tom many time about the compatible. He said yes. about 6PM. I talk to the manager, I said do you think will tow my car again. He tell me to talk to Tom. I told Tom I have to use my car tomorrow for work. I paid to much for the cab. And then he take out the Vipers. Wednesday 4:40am in the morning. I drive for my job. I found out the automatic light is not on. it has other issue. The Auto switch is on, but the automatic light is not on. me and my friends went to Bestbuy again and talk to manager. First He said is not my responsibility. You already pick up the car. I m telling you. no one will know the automatic sensor will broke if not drive at night or dark place. I have my KDLINKS X1 FULL HD WIDE ANGLE CAR DASHBOARD CAMCORER WITH GPS install in my car. The installation day is July 31. All drive load recorded. July 31. I drive my friends to China town and get in the Tunnel and then go back to Bestbuy get in the tunnel again. It show the light automatic on. No any problem when I drop on Bestbuy. I have alot Evidence prove. No one touch my new car. Only Geek Squad. I lost money because the Viper Responder LC3 5706V already used. It can't return it. Also I lost time. wait long time in Bestbuy, 4 hours job it take 5 days. I have no car to use. I have to paid the cab for my job. I have to drive my car to Woburn Toyota to see what is broke on 08/7/2015. After 5 hours long wait. The Toyota said Tom forgot to connect the wire.  They said the first time broke the big fuse link and tow to Toyota repair. It is the big problem. It broke because they start the engine more than hundred time. I know because I took the chair and wait inside the second time with Tom. He try to start my engine between 5 second. I know what is troubleshooting. but if you try to start the engine 3 time and not work. You will know is sometime wrong. You have to find out the problem and maybe get help. Not just keep try to start the engine on the remote. I tell Tom even you try thousand time. it could be the same. I know I complaint the first time when they broke my car big fuse. but please don't treat my car like that. I want to ask you. if you take your car there for installation. You wait there more than 5 hours and your new car is broke by them. and you have no car to use for your job. Are you happy about that. Second time he said only take 30 minutes to program the key. It take me wait there 5 hours. He forgot connect the wire. If you don't believe, you can call Woburn Toyota. Everyone know Bestbuy broke my 2015 Toyota Highlander. Bestbuy should reimburse my lost. I lost time and money. The Viper I can't return to other retail store because it used by your company. It fail to install and broke my car. I try to call Geek squad 18004335778 two times and talk to different people. they just hand up my phone after I tell my stories. They never give me the solution. and I know I post the message here may not helpful. I will keep try other way to tell my stories to other if Bestbuy not give me the solution. My phone numbers is {removed per forum guidelines}. 

    Thanks your reply. I mean no one know my feeling. except if the new car is your. If Geek Squad can't install it. Just let me know and go. right? I ask many time? Are you ok to finish? He said yes. First time fail after 5 hours long wait and tow my car to Toyota repair. Second time said only take 20 to 30 minutes to program the key. but fail again after about 4 hours 30 minutes long wait and head light is not automatic turn on at night. I have to take a day off drive to Toyota repair. My time is money. wait there more than 10 hours and done nothing. 5 days no car and take the subway Bus and long walk. How do I feel? I m the customer. if without the customer. How you get pay? Geek Squad use my remote start and alarm and I can't return it. I loss time and money. My new car has a repair record. That is what Bestbuy want to do for the customer. Geek Squad work for Bestbuy. right? You are not just loss one customer. You will loss more and more than the remote start alarm cost. Bestbuy will not know? How come just 200$ remote start alarm and the 50$ module. Bestbuy don't want to reimburse. I m not tell you to pay me 5 days for rental car. why don't just want a happy ending? Bestbuy is big company. I m very small. 250$ it cost Bestbuy nothing. You can't let the customer loss money because you. right?

  • How to file a complain against HP Support for not service a laptop under warranty

    I am facing an issue. I purchased a g two months back. I have to go through a long process of sending the laptop to them. The internal LCD is having small crack earlier i guess but after some day the screen started behaving weird And then stop showing anything on screen. I send the laptop and the service team investigated it and told me that there is a internal crack on the LCD and i need to pay $352 to get it replace. Seriously $352 for replacing a LCD for a laptop which cost me $380. Also, its under warranty why should i pay as there was no accident to the laptop not even a single scratch on the outside screen and on laptop.  Then they told me that this might be due to some pressure on the laptop..Strange if someone jumps on to the laptop there will not be any damage to external parts but internal screen will be cracked..That's pretty hard to digest even when the laptop external plastic is really cheap and even can break with a little pressure. But they send the laptop back to me without even listen to me, they do assign a case manager to me who just offer me 25% discount rather than listening to my complain.. and they closed the case without any more investigation even i asked them to do it again.

    Honestly, internal cracking does happen. I had someone throw a Wii remote into my LCD TV and it busted the display. Whenever it was turned off, there was no physical damage. When it was powered on, it was very obvious that the display was broken internally. The pressure doesn't have to come from the back of the display, something could have hit the panel from the front, cracking the internals while not showing any damage on the outside.
    You could find the part number for the LCD and and buy the panel and then replace it yourself. If you decide to go this route, I must warn you, replacing the LCD is one of the most difficult things to replace on a notebook. The $352 you are paying for is for the LCD panel and the cost of actually repairing the the notebook.

  • How to file a complaint regarding rewards

    I have opted for Verizon residential plan in March 2013. During the process, Verizon customer support person helped me to get the service. There was $250 reward promo going on at that time for getting the service for 2 years contract. During each step of process online the customer support person assured me that i will get the rewards.
