WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE: $200 credit per iphone 5 trade in: Promised by GoWireless in Chino Hills & Verizon Account Manager, But Not Addressed in Over 4 Months

Hello everyone,
I just had the WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE with a Verizon Wireless Premium Retailer (Go Wireless in Chino Hills) and a Verizon Account Manager.
Through a ridiculous saga of events, I finally had to send an email to a customer service supervisor with screenshots, outlined below to try to resolve.
Besides this, is there anything else I can to do address this situation? 
I don't want any Verizon Wireless customer to EVER go through this.
Please see the detailed email below for reference.
Hi Laura,
I am also including GoWireless customer service on this email due to the incredibly TERRIBLE customer service I received from their employees.
As we discussed over the phone, I am contacting about the terrible, dishonest, and incompetent customer service I received regarding my upgrading of iPhone 6 through GoWireless Verizon Wireless Premium Retailer located at The Shoppes at Chino Hills, 13925 City Center Drive, Chino Hills.  Their phone number is 909-465-5840.
I will send the screenshots of the text conversation I had with GoWireless salesperson (Will) over the course of almost 2 months, in an attempt to receive the $200 per iPhone trade in credits that he and GoWireless had promised me when I upgraded my phone to an iPhone 6.
As the text message screenshots will show (and a follow up emails, as this maximum has a maximum capacity issue), I was continually following up with Will over the course of 2 months regarding receiving the credits.  Throughout the conversation, he kept indicating that he would address it.  As the text messages will show, he never resolved it and I had to continually pursue getting the credits owed to m e.
After this, I contacted GoWireless corporate customer service and complained about the situation.  GoWireless customer service indicated that they would help me resolve the situation.  So they ended up contacting the store manager, Aaron.
Aaron then contacted me, after corporate customer service contacted him.  Aaron assured me that he would address this and ensure I received the credits I was promised in the original transaction.
Aaron eventually punted me to a Verizon Account Manager during this past January.  That account manager's number is 619-756-2100.  I will attach the screenshots of the text messages I had with that individual for reference. 
That Account Manager indicated that he would just apply the $200 per phone credit to my account since my family had to go through so much trouble and hassle over so many months.
After waiting for a month and not hearing from him, I reached out to him via text a few weeks ago.  He did not respond and I sent 2 subsequent texts to follow up, and he never responded.
It was at this point I called Verizon customer service and complained about this issue, this past Saturday (2/21).  As the voice recording for that conversation will show, the customer service rep indicated that she would try to apply the $200 per phone credit and that I should call back within 48 hours if I don't receive the credit on my account.
As I didn't see the credits applied today, I called customer service and spoke to you eventually about this situation. 
While I appreciate your help in trying to resolve this, I would like to make a note of the following:
1. GoWireless sales representative WILL was INCOMPETENT and/or DISHONEST in applying my credits.  As the text messages show, the ONLY reason my family purchased the phones were because of the $200 per phone credit.
2. GoWireless store manager AARON is INCOMPETENT and/or DISHONEST about this situation. 
As you heard today on the call, Aaron tried to pass the blame onto me first, saying I didn't turn the phone in on time.  This was despite the fact that I had been corresponding with Will over text and spoke specifically with Aaron the situation.  They were the reason that I "didn't turn my phone in on time"  Either Aaron "forgot" our conversation around this whole situation or was intentionally being deceitful. 
Aaron then tried to pass the blame to the Verizon district manager, saying that it was something that that district manager to handle.
This situation indicates Aaron's inability to take responsibility (he tried to blame shift the issue) and be accountable for his actions.  I am appalled that a large entity like GoWireless would employ such a person in a management position.
3. Verizon Wireless account manager (phone number 619-756-2100) is INCOMPETENT or DISHONEST about this situation.  He indicated that he would help resolve this and he did not, and, in fact, has ignored my attempts to contact him over the past few weeks.  I am shocked that such a person could be given responsibility to service customer accounts.
4. As we discussed, I'm am also going to put a formal complaint detailing out this situation on Verizon Wireless forums.  I don't think any customer deserves to go through this type of experience.  It is completely ASININE, ABSURD, and HORRIBLE that a customer has had to keep following up on this over the past 4 months.  Even arranging a conference call today with Aaron and you!
The lack of professionalism and integrity of Will, Aaron, and the Verizon Account Manager is unbelievable!
5. Is there anyway that I can pull my account from GoWireless considering the situation.  I don't think Aaron and his team are capable of honestly servicing any customers.
As I indicated, I will send a follow up email with the additional screenshots for your reference to show the set that I have.
I hope we can finally resolve this situation and my family FINALLY gets the $200 per phone credits promised to us in the original transaction.
Thank you.

Holy cow... That was a marathon as opposed to a sprint....  Since the iphone has such a good resale value, I agree - next time ebay.
i Am glad you finally got the cards.  They should just credit the account.
As I see the same complaint on AT&T forum, the trade in programs are flawed, universally.

  • I am using Outlook 2010. Changes made to my iPhone 4 or my iPad2 appear on each other (tasks, calendar, Contacts) but not in Outlook. Why is this?

    I am using Outlook 2010. Changes made to my iPhone 4 or my iPad2 appear on each other (tasks, calendar, Contacts) but not in Outlook. Why is this?
    Also, changes made in Outlook do not appear on Phone or IpAd

    I'm guessing outlook doesn't support iCloud or vice versa or the settings for iCloud in Outlook are turned off. Just a guess though I don't use Microsoft products if I can help it.

  • I am using version iPhoto'11. Since I installed this version I experience some difficulties. After importation of pictures I can see the pictures under Library/Pictures but not under Library/Events. However I can see the event and the number of pictures.

    Hello,
    I am using version iPhoto'11. Since I installed this version I experience some difficulties. After importation of pictures I can see the pictures under Library/Pictures but not under Library/Events. However I can see the event with the event title, the number of pictures and the pictures itselve as small thumbnails. BUt ounce I want to open the event to see the pictures in full screen the event title annouces 0 pictures and no pictures are visble anymore to mee. I have checked if the pictures are marked as hidden and this is not the case. What's going wrong. All the other events are visible in a normal way.
    The albums with the same pictures into them are visible.
    Thanks for your help,
    Raf

    Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.

    No they will not delete.  If you are nervous about that, connect your phone to your computer and import the photos into iPhoto and drag them into a new folder on your desktop.

  • Indesign XML support frustration, my worst customer experience ever

    Hi,
    I have opened a paid for incident with Adobe, case #  182 433 774 , and am completely frustrated. I have spent 3 hours on the phone talking to people that have NO grasp on the english language, and no technical expertise. They say they don't know XML, but can help me. Days have gone by, and they claim that my problem has been escallated, yet they don't even have the details of the problem. This is clearly the worst tech support that I have ever encountered, even though we are talking about a $2,000 product. Isn't there any better tech support that I can buy?
    Does anyone know what support options I have to resolve and XML issue?  We are only able to render the first page of our XML driven catalog, then the job seems to complete without any complaint. We are using Indesign 5.0.

    Well, you could ask your question here! I hate XML but I can probably help you.

  • Worst customer experience I have ever had

    For a start try googling Bt and watchdog and you will see how bad it is. My story begins with getting a line with Bt this was a horrendous business in the first place as our new house had no connection, so we had to pay to improve Bt's network by getting an intermittent line put in which took weeks ,almost a month, then a fault appeared about a year later the engineer came ,much head scratching as no dial tone ,but Internet worked, he fiddled around with our socket and eventually said the problem was external ,it worked for a few days then stopped and then we got another engineer to come fix it properly it worked for a year .Now exactly same thing has happened again an engineer came fiddled with our socket and said it was the building across the way that caused it ( what I can't get is. If it was the building over the way causing it why fiddle with socket in our building?). , it stopped working a week later same issue, in addition now when reporting the problem to a call centre in India was told that they could not arrange an engineer unless I agreed that if the fault was caused internally in our building then there would be a call out fee of £130 , I refused to acknowledge that I would pay this as the only people to have touched the lines in our house since connection have. Been your outsource partners ,hence how can they blame me for the fault?, I have carried out basics checks as suggested on the site . What worries me now is the following (are they trying to charge me for this second fault?) Fault number:VOLxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx, Date reported:25 May 2012,Date closed:30 May 2012 Says problem was external from house. But the next fault report online says problem is internal and within the house, if the fault is internal ,then it must have been caused by the engineers earlier visit as they are the only ones who have changed or done anything Fault number:VOLxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx Date reported:7 June 2012Date closedpen I will be very very annoyed if this happens

    Please edit out your fault reference numbers as this is a public forum. Thanks

  • Worst customer experience ever.

    we recently moved house, we tried to place an order to move our 2 phone lines and bt infinity - a complete farce and after several hours and many calls to BT they eventually managed to sort an order. Farce 1
    we moved last week and should have had phone lines and broadband yesterday - BT unilaterally changed this to phone lines yesterday and broadband later this week - customer care from BT! Farce 2
    engineer turned up yesterday, installed the 2 lines, 1 doesn;t work and BT seem to want to blame us - reckon its our handset - total bull as it works in the other line, line totally dead - its a wiring fault from BT but they can't get out till next week - very poor. Farce 3
    Got very poor service today from Faults- still waiting for manager to phone me to explain the total lack of assistance and customer care from BT - who knows when the broadband will work - its a complete joke, wasted hours trying to get through to BT with no success. Has anybody got contact details for a UK customer services manager with a degree of authority who can sort this mess out immediately as we have elderly family members living 4 hours away who cannot contact us in an emergency. Farce 4.
    I am a completely dissatiisfied customer who feels totally ignored by BT.

  • I had to get a new account on my iPhone due to some problems and now with my new account it will not let me download the same apps

    I have an Iphone 5 and i had all the apps on there that I wanted but then had to create a new account for the phone. I cant do the updates becuase of not having the same account I downloaded them on. So when I try to delete them and then get them again it says that it was already downloaded to this device and that I need to do it through my old account when that one is deleted.

    You need to copy the iTunes liubrary from your Old computer, or its Backup, to your New computer...
    See Here for one way
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    Or...
    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Backup iTunes to an External Drive

    An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

    mike571,
    Help has arrived! Let's take a closer look to see what's going on. Have you disabled the iMessaging feature on your iPhone prior to activating the basic phone? What zip code are you located in? Are you experiencing this issue when sending text messages to all users or just one in particular?

  • HT204406 My iPhone tells me that iTunes Match is associated with another account. But it works on my iPad and MacBook. It says I have to wait 90 days. Please Help!

    My iPhone wants me to wait 90 days before I can use it again with iTunes Match. It is telling me that it is associated with another account. This is not true. I have tried restarting, logging out of the store, syncing with my MacBook ((where iTunes Match works). There seems to be no tech support for iTunes Match . I have not been able to find anything except this forum.
    Thanks.

    First which version of iOS are you currently running on your ipad? If running iOS 5.1 or later you can upadate righ from ipad using wifi.
    You should use the same computer that you normally sync to (itunes, by default, will not let you sync to more than one itunes libray)
    If not, you can turn off auto syncing.
    Without the ipad connected to the computer, go to itunes preferences/devices and check the box at the bottom to prevvent ipads, iphones and ipads from syncing automatically.
    Then reconnect ipad to computer.
