It all started when I received a email notification from Dell Inc. The sale was for flat screen TV's and my company has been thinking of purchasing one for our power point presentations, display of items in our catalog etc...
After choosing the desired TV I ordered a Sony Bravia 40", DVD recorder and a service plan.
I applied for credit and was approved.
1 week went by and I was told the TV was on back order. Then I was called and told that it would be shipping on 11/01/98.
Then I was called and said my order was cancelled because my home/office did not have a land phone to verify who I was they would and could not except me from my cell phone.
The order was cancelled. However, the service plan was not!
And now my nightmare begins...
I called nearly 15 departments and was shuffled for nearly 2 hours on 1 day, no one seems to want to work outside the box. I was transfered finally to Dell's Resolution department in Austin, Texas and spoke to a guy named Aaron. He promised me he was going to cancel out the service plan from my account considering Dell never sent me the TV nor can you see anywhere they sent one.
It is now December 21st 2007 and I get a call everyday from Dell Collection. Every day I explain that the Order was cancelled and I asked if they can see a charge for $1300 anywhere on my account along with the $379.00 for the service plan. They can not.
I ask: If you only see a charge for $379, what do you think the charge was for? Their response is always the same: fax us, call us, send us the info. I have written a complaint letter to Michael Dell the beginning of December, I have written emails to my Customer service rep. Still no one will help me.
Today was the best:
I asked: what is the charge for? The Indian Man said you bought a service plan.
I asked: What was the plan for?
He said: a TV.
I asked: Do you see the balance or purchase price of the TV on my account?
Indian man said: No.
I asked: Why would I only have $379 on a credit account with out the Television?
Indian man said: I dont know, I cant help you, you need to call... You need to fax...
I asked: Do you have a manager?
Indian Man: Yes, he'll have to call you back.

It seems this team of collection agents do not have any records of my account. 6 days a week including Saturdays Dell Collection department calls and tells me I am behind on my service plan payment for my 40" Sony Bravia... Meanswhile I dont own one!

They have used up nearly 652 minutes by calling me.

The shame of all this is I have purchased 3 desk tops, 3 note books, 1 Palm from them since 1997. The do not care about past purchases. My loyalty means nothing to them. All of their employees do not want to work outside of their box to solve this problem.instead they call me everyday, read the notes of my more than 30 converations and still ask? Mr. Russo... When can we expect your $35.00!!! Your past due!
