We requested to have Qwest come out to install a telephone line and the day before they came, had to cancel our request.
The next day the service technician comes out and we explain that we have cancelled the request and he leaves.
This was 3 months ago.
The first time we called Qwest, they said they would correct their error.
The 2nd time we called, on Sunday, 12/7/08, the friendly female representative said not to worry — they would correct the problem and we would be receiving a bill with a zero balance.
Now, tonight an aggressive debt collector calls from Allied and is demanding that we pay this bill, which Qwest apparently turned over to them.
There is no way to communicate with Qwest to report problems via e-mail. Lisa, the Qwest representative that I spoke with tonight said that the billing department is closed, but that she would send them an e-mail explaining the situation and they would contact me tomorrow.
Why is it that I don't really believe them?
This is the "worst" customer service I have encountered in my life and I would NEVER choose Qwest as a provider — friendly doesn't count. Customer service agents need information and access in order to serve us — the customers that choose this provider over others. One of the reps said that they "just" began being able to search for a customer using "name". Hello? You represent communications and you're that far behind the times!
Now we have to worry about this being on our credit report! Beware of Qwest! I'd hate to be a steady customer that got a little behind on my bill!
