Billing Errors Continue

Well, it's been two weeks and still haven't received a response. Also, the new bill still had problems and the previous problems have not been credited.

I called AGAIN, and this time they started arguing with me saying promotions that I said I had didn't exist, even though my printed online order confirmation form says they did. I had to fax it in and now I am still awaiting an answer.

What kind of headless turkeys are running this place?
 
Since they tell you when your on hold that they are 'recording this message', and you have no choice, you should have the right to tell them the same
 
I don't think so?

Here's my breakdown from my BEV bill.

$40 ==> 6 Themes and Premium Movies

$27 ==> Digital Standard

$ 2 ==> Bell TV Magazine

$ 1 ==> Movie Entertainment Magazine (never ask for it)

My Total: $80


Programming Guide

$68 ==> 6 Themes + Premium Movies + Digital Standard + Bell TV Magazine

$10 ==> HDTV

Total : $78
 
Ooops, my fault! Bell cleared things up in a quickly answered phone call this morning.

YAY for Bell today! I'm up todate and I love my satellite.
 
do you have the "Ultra Value Combo", as that is the name of the package that is $68?

the $68 should already include the movie magazine and bell tv magazine...i would call them up and confirm your programming with them...1-888-759-3474.
 
It took me 5 calls to get those morons to correct my billing address. Here's to hoping they get it right for the upcoming month.:rolleyes:
 
Me: Hello I noticed I didn't get $50 online credit and the $240 HD rental credits applied on my bill. It's been 6 months.

Bell Rep: We sent in the request Feb 13. If it's approved, you should get it in your next bill. Changes take 6 to 8 weeks to appear on your bill.

Me: But I've been waiting 6 months!

Bell Rep: I CAN make another request, but note that if I do, it will be ANOTHER 6 to 8 weeks for the changes to appear on your bill.

Me: So are you telling me to wait...AGAIN?!?!

Bell Rep: It's your choice.

Me: Who's in charge? I want to speak to them.

Bell Rep: I have a supervisor but it's a billing issue, we just send in the requests.

Me: Then who's in charge in the billing department?

Bell Rep: There are many managers in the billing department

Me:... then give me a NAME!

Bell Rep:...Sorry, I'm not at liberty to release that information.


Exasperated :mad: , I then threatened to sue them if it wasn't fixed. I contacted Global Defenders, the CRTC, and emailed Bell's Executive offices.

The next day a Bell executive called to apologize and applied the $290 "satisfactory adjustment" on my bill. She assured me this would be applied instantaneously without the 6 to 8 week lag time.

I have hope (but I'll have to see it to believe it).
 
...Done...ended up being huge, guess I had a lot to say. Hopefully something will come of it.
 
if you paid it to your express-vu account rather than the one bill account number it won't show on your statement until the following month. it has to be transfered from the legacy billing system to the new one bill platform.

It will be there though and you won't be charged late fees either.

Nem, who is filling holes
 
Trust me as much as I hate ExpressVu, the credit should come through....you might have to call in another couple of times. I went through the same mess for 12 full months...but once I got executive attention, I had to wait 1 billing cycle to get it cleared.

Problem is that the same level of attention/service needs to be provided by the Customer Care reps...the issues here are not just Staff Training but also Management will. And they do not have to look too hard for this...310-BELL/310-SURF is an example of much better customer care (I didn't mention *C here ;-) )
 
foxfan I will look for your post here in July saying I did not get my efin credits yet.
 
DJ, we both know this issue is huge and really hurting us.

To all, when you call the call center notes are put on your account and and the process starts to rid your account of the problem. The change has to be done manually, there is one person doing all the changes and this takes lots of time, (DJ if you work in ONT you should speak up and help get more people working on this issue). I am 5 degrees away from this issue so I have no control on the fix, and Bell should be doing a better job fixing it.

It is not a scam, or something Bell did to get your money, it was a computer error that was not detected untill Bills started hitting houses. I am honestly sorry that customers have had to deal with this on thier end.
 
I suspect there is some computer glitch that removed the credits from a whole bunch of subscribers. I wonder how many have not even noticed the problem. Sometimes I wonder if Bell is just trying to generate a little more revenue!
 
You will be charged late fees but they will take them off when you phone to complain (Been there done that)
 
I got a response back from the CRC, who also sent my complaint to Bell.

Here's an exert:
The CRTC does not regulate the day-to-day operations of cable and satellite distributors, including equipment and marketing. However, in response to initiatives by the CRTC, Canada's digital competitors (DTH and MDS providers) have submitted a set of Digital Competitive Service Standards that represent their formal commitment to a high level of customer service. The Standards represent an expected minimum comfort level that customers can expect to receive. Here is a link: http://www.crtc.gc.ca/Broadcast/eng/digital.htm#top


Funny thing, is if you check the link, and scroll down a bit:
B. Basic Commitment
The Digital Competitors commit to provide each of their customers with:

High quality satellite or multipoint distribution systems signals to the customer
 
Once I have 3 hours to sit on the phone I'll get right on that. :D

Bell. Making it difficult.
 
the 6100 is only supposed to be $10 per month, so that is a big mistake...i would suggest visiting your local bell world store and see if one of the managers can escalate your issue with their support team.
 
I think in some cases I've heard that a recording can only be used in court if both parties are aware they are being recorded. Otherwise a warrant is required.

That's what I meant by telling the person to mention on the phone that the call is being recorded.
