Bell Canada Internet service Posted: 2009-05-03 by ilc 9 days and still no response

... It’s been 8 days and more than a dozen phone calls and my issue has yet to be resolved... Lost internet connection on Friday, April 24, 2009... Pulling my hair out right now. I live in Toronto

d) https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r25559164-Internet-Cancellation-ticket-ignored

... Internet Cancellation ticket ignored

I called Bell Internet Customer service last month to cancel Bell Internet service and have a Ticket Ref # provided for the cancellation by the Rep. Now after a month when I called to check when the Technician will come by to deactivate the service and how do I return the modem? Bell claims no cancellation request is on the system. And now I have to wait another 30 days as per 30 day policy for notice...

... Bundled package (and unlimited internet) Removedþ Garry Price on 2/24/2011

The story goes like this... Now when I received my latest Bell bill, imagine my surprise when I discovered that Bell had, without my permission removed the unlimited internet and my monthly usage was way over the new 25 gig limit...

•671 complaints filed against business •Failure to respond to 53 complaints filed against business. •27 complaints filed against business that were not resolved. •Overall complaint history with BBB... Government Actions CRTC announces that Bell Canada has paid a $1.3 million penalty for violating the National Do Not Call List Rules Bell Canada also makes a $266, 000 payment for its use of automated calling devices without consent

g) https://www.consumeraffairs.com/cell_phones/bell_canada.html

... I received a message back indicating that Bell suspended my account because they "noticed some unusual activity in your Hotmail account... The Bell rep refused to resolve the problem, stating that I exceeded my quota for outgoing mail (recall from above, I sent one message successfully today and my account was blocked on the second message) thereby violating my user service agreement

h) https://www.merareview.com/42422/-rights-violated.html

... -I recently had a harrowing experience with Bell Canada, I wondered if any other complaints against Bell could be found on the internet and I found this site.

-I was appalled at the myriads of complaints against Bell: harassment, sabotage, overpricing, extortion, broken promises, unfulfilled contracts, to name a few!

-This first page broadly explains my own awful experience with Bell and I will proceed to outline my dreadful experience as everybody else did

i) https://www.complaints.com/directory/2005/june/13/52.htm

... For over six years, we have been loyal customers to Bell Canada and Bell Mobility. During that time we have had nothing but grief with your company. The events over the last few days have made us leave your company permanently, but we feel you always have your hand out for more and more money, never providing service in return

j) https://forums.canadiancontent.net/mobile-phones/38936-bell-mobility-its-worst-do.html

... BELL MOBILITY AT ITS WORST - DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THEM... Bell informed us that it was not their problem... a classic example of how one department cannot seem to work with another department in order to satisfy customer concerns and complaints

... Gauging Bell Canada's public perception By Roberto Rocha Fri, Feb 20 2009 COMMENTS (39) TechnoCité

Filed under: telecom, customer service, bell... Still a stereotypical corporation - Bell continues to be opaque and uninformative...

Nonetheless, if the company truly intends to be recognized as Canada's premier telecom company, they have a lot of work ahead of them

l) https://www.ellenroseman.com/? p=8 Since I get many complaints about Bell Canada’s ineptness in dealing with customers, I did a recent column (March 24)... Bell needs an ombudsman or a central point of contact for complaints.

* It’s very hard to speak to a supervisor or get the names of anyone in authority. When Bell gives out phone numbers and email addresses for complaints, these often don’t work

5) SO AM I YOUR NEXT VICTIM?

Dear Sir,

1) I have already spoken to your rep Ms. Pina in Directors Office, employee id 3900688 at

415pm on 12March2011 yesterday. She stated that she will respond to me via email

within 48 hours. I am very concerned about being FIRST told on

07March11 at approx. 6pm by Ms Jay, employee id XX390 in the Billing Office dept in

Manila, Phillipines, that my TOTAL phone and internet bill AFTER taxes will be $51.35 per

month.

2) This was when I ordered the internet service.

3) THEN on 10March2011 at approximately 645pm, Mr. King, employee id XT671, in the

Internet Billing Office in Manila, Phillipines told me that my total bill AFTER taxes will be

$69.93 per month.

4) WHY ARE YOU INCREASING my monthly payment NOW?

5) Furthermore, Ms. Shaheen, employee-id 6022439, in the Household Loyalty dept at

Yonge &Eglington in Toronto, told me at 1010am on 28Feb11 that as per

Confirmation-number-A69G43V5, she will execute my order to remove my $6.95 taxes

Wire-Care-maintenance-plan.

6) But Ms. Pina told me this has NOT been done as yet.

7) WHY are you overcharging me and not doing what you say you will do?

8) Please provide me a satisfactory WRITTEN response within 7 calendar days.
