The Phone Company Ruined My Discussion!!!  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 90/100. sconibear (2987)   ranked 41 out of 682 in ranting about things which annoy me 3 years ago

That's right......you read that correctly......the DAM phone company has taken my well thought out discussion and crushed it like an aluminum can in a homeless bum's shopping cart.

Let me give you a little back story.

A couple of months ago some crooked fly by night, dirty dog company tried to charge me for services I never ordered in a 3rd party bill on my phone bill.
I had dealings with this company before several months ago.
They try to stick you for a bill and hope you don't notice the extra charge on your phone bill.

So I did exactly what I did the first time I noticed these crooks on my phone bill...
I called the company and told them "no way in Hell was I paying for something I never asked for" then I called the phone company and asked them to do a chargeback to the company and informed them that I would be deducting that amount($8.56) before I sent my bill payment.

Well, when my personal accountant, missybear, paid the bill, she mis-calculated the deduction and actually sent the phone company .20 CENTS less than she should have.

So now when we get our new bill there's a $5.00 late fee and a notice to pay the .20 cents IMMEDIATELY!!!

$5.00 for .20 CENTS?!?!? angry

Now, I'm no mathematician, but that's like a basquillion percent fee on .20 cents.

SO NOW I'M PISSED!!! and I think where can I rant about this and get it off my chest??? Of course.............MYLOT!!!

So I worked out what I wanted to say, and figured out the sentence structures in my head.........I even came up with some catchy titles........

"TELEPHONE MAFIA!!!"

"PHONE PIRATES!!!"

.................WAIT.............maybe there's a $5.00 late fee because the bill was actually late..................I better call them and make sure before I smear them on myLot................."por espanial, numbero dos...................finally, customer support.................IT IS because of the .20 cents................."TELECOMMUNICATION NAZIS!!!..................what?







Oh..............The guy said he thought it was ridiculous too and removed the late fee.



So, you see........nothing to complain about..........no discussion.

Sorry for wasting your time, but there is no discussion here.

Sorry..........you can go about your business.............nothing to see here.




Do you ever think of a good discussion only to realize you got nothing???

oh dont get me started on the damn phone company. angry you're lucky you got reasonable person in "customer service".


myLot reputation of 90/100. sconibear (2987)   ranked 41 out of 682 in ranting about things which annoy me  3 years ago

They're alright, but I don't like their math.

It looks something like this:

Phone package deal $30 + Internet $25 = $80.00??? confused

They stick you with all those fees and taxes and crap.
Don't even get me started on the Cable Company! angry


myLot reputation of 56/100. Little_Stormy (1894)   ranked 166 out of 682 in ranting about things which annoy me  3 years ago

*takes off show and counts up*

I don't get 80.00 at all!

I have 126.12! but if I carry my one and divide it by the number of parked cars I've hit and multiply it by the number of times I beat up my sister and times that by the number of flies I killed on the front porch it comes to 912.98


myLot reputation of 56/100. Little_Stormy (1894)   ranked 166 out of 682 in ranting about things which annoy me  3 years ago

carry that by the number of times I've written show instead of shoe and times that by 9 ... just cause I like that number.... it comes to a total of 1023.98

lol


myLot reputation of 57/100. skyhss (478)   ranked 527 out of 682 in ranting about things which annoy me  3 years ago

i have no problems with my cable company, well satellite company, my bill is always the same, no goofy charges.
Qwest talked me into signing up for unlimited long distance for $3.00 a month (and that's really how much the charge is) and DJ & I spend about 3 hours a night on the phone. lol


myLot reputation of 61/100. darkjedi1 (751)  3 years ago

Oh we spend much muhc more then 3 hours on the phone baby lol.


myLot reputation of 61/100. darkjedi1 (751)  3 years ago

I did customer service for Ma Bell and it was rediculous. That ind of crap happened constantly. I did about 50 adjustments a day because someone else screwed up.
Amd you're right about those dirty 3rd party carrier charges. I had to deal with that constantly as well. Sadly, I couldn't just remove the charge, I had to put it in "pending" status until it was solved with the other company. And that's not a quick process...it usually took 2-3 months!

That insanity about being charged a $5.00 late fee for 20-cents actually sounds as lame-brained as a bank charging an overdraft fee of $35.00 if the overdraft is only 50-cents--THEY STILL CHARGE IT
Well one time I came across this god-awful website that was all pro dog fights, the whole thing was sickening and the person boasted what a wonderful business dog fighting is
Here's the website

http://puppyprofits.com/

Naturally I got all riled up and even did a fiery discussion about it...I went on a rampage

Uh....then I happened to find later on...the whole thing was a spoof siteblush

http://aspcacommunity.nin...

Unfortunately with all the protesting ASPCA, etc...for some sick reason the website is still up

So I had to do another discussion about my mistakewhistle

$5.00 for $0.20? Oh man, that is ridiculous. At least you got it sorted out. The perfect rant discussion to start that would stay as a rant discussion is complaining about energy companies. They are way out of hand right now - especially in MY state. They are taking advantage and our governor fails to do anything about it. Guess he can afford HIS bills. Monopolizing b@stards! angry

Do you ever think of a good discussion only to realize you got nothing???

Yeah, all the time. That's about half of my participation here...


myLot reputation of 90/100. sconibear (2987)   ranked 41 out of 682 in ranting about things which annoy me  3 years ago

Yeah, our electric company is raising their rates for the second time this year.

We got on that deal where you pay the same amount every month.
They base it on the average of you rates for the year before, then they adjust it every 6 months........I got a feeling it's going to bite me in the asss when they adjust it next time.

Wouldn't it be nice if they raised our paychecks as much as they raise our utilities??? angry

Lol.


Damn that is so stupid that they would send you a late fee for that. Hell thats what I think when we get an account from the bank for 100 dollars or less that we have to collect on or else their vehicle will be repossessed. Your serious? You would really repossess a vehicle for that much? But we have to act like they will, because well we dont know lol.


On a side note. I got a debt collector call for me today on my phone. The message they left was almost exactly what we leave at work lol. I just ignored it this time lol.


myLot reputation of 90/100. sconibear (2987)   ranked 41 out of 682 in ranting about things which annoy me  3 years ago

Yeah, that would suck to loose your car for less than $100.....but what are you going to do??? they're the big bad banks.


myLot reputation of 61/100. darkjedi1 (751)  3 years ago

Yeah I know lol. But damn it sucks calling and saying if you dont pay this 45.74 your vehicle will be assigned for repossession and with this refusal to pay it has now been assigned for repo. lol.


myLot reputation of 57/100. skyhss (478)   ranked 527 out of 682 in ranting about things which annoy me  3 years ago

i guess we do spend more than 3 hours on the phone babe. we've already been on for like 4 hours tonight.

Lol, that's awesome... now lets hope whoever I have to talk to about my hydro bill is that understanding.

Just got a notice in the mail saying I didn't pay my bill and I have to pay the late fee or they'll cut off my service... and I never got the bill I supposedly didn't pay. Called customer service, and they said "well, take that up with the post office"... because I'm sure the government-owned post office will pay my hydro bill for me, what with their non-liability agreement.

Gonna go yell at the receptionist for a while and see if anything comes of it.

hiya sconi

Businesses are deploying so many scams and dirty tacticts to get people into their snare that it's really necessary to read the small print nowadays. So many hidden extras that we miss often if we don't scritinize the bill. Fortunately I seem to have settled into one company which has combined internet, phone and t.v. and having no problems with a regular bill and little changing amount/costs.
I did once create a discussion and lost it... how? I have no idea confused
but after losing it I didn't bother to create and submit... I figured it wasn't meant to, especially since I thought it was crap! lol
