Unhappy Customer: Comcast Told My Employer About Complaint, Got Me Fired

The real question is, what kind of employer would fire someone over a conversation with Comcast, no matter how rude. Comcast is the scum of the earth as far as customer service, and their reps border on cretinism. Can someone really be blamed for going ballistic on one or two of them? I think not.

Bizarre. The lawsuit should be interesting.

I ran across an unbelievable attitude and situation when discontinuing bell satellite services. Everything starting from you will pay it or have a negative credit rating posted.

The final billing was about 4-500 more than we owed. We only owed for the last month of services provided when that bill flew in the door. Eventually after a long period of time perhaps six months as that was too long ago to remember accurately.

I got the right bill. I swear I would never use that company again unless totally unavoidable. The reason some of their competition has been able to penetrate their customer base here so well is their own fault. Nobody in their right mind would go back if any other option was available.

I doubt any collection agency would buy up accounts like theirs when they figured what was going on. Ours never went to collection. There must have been about fifteen phone calls back and forth in the time frame as well. On each call I basically just told them we will pay what we really owe with no questions once we get a proper bill.

As for the poster. Without written permission to contact his employer they may be on legal quicksand. I can see a decent lawyer taking the case on a percentage basis if the information posted is on the up and up. In Canada a wrongful dismissal charge against the employer would also add to the mess.

You want worse but far less dollars. We sent in a smartphone with issues plus 275.00 on the basis of a phone call with them. The phone was sent back to us with no explanation. We questioned where the 275.00 credit was. They denied getting the money and refused to refund. The 275.00 was a credit card transaction. Our bank proved to them they got it. Still no return so the bank absorbed the loss as far as we knew. One would have thought they could trust Microsoft.

Sounds like a classic he said/she said slug fest brewing.

In this case the taping of conversations can be forced out legally. It is pretty universal practice if not totally illegal to contact employers of clients. Without written permission.

Doing damage to a client while trying to basically defraud him is another issue as well. Unless one has themselves run into one of the companies in the communication business in a negative fashion it is hard to get a grasp about how bad they can be. To be fair a lot of them probably the vast majority act like other normal businesses. I figure it was the company that contacted the employer rather than the collection agency unless at the specific request of the company.

I was on the verge of calling in the appropriate authorities and mentioned this just before getting the proper bill from bell. The attempts at defrauding us where too organized I also felt and mentioned. . I even wondered how much extra money they took in with this practice.

Many pay all their bills without even examining them.. Or the threat to their credit rating might motivate then to pay an improper bill. I do not feel it is a mix up in accounting with these types of firms. .Personally I may not have a credit rating as such. We just do not use credit other than a credit card that is paid off every month without fail. I would simply give anyone needing verification of ability to pay our banks name if ever needed. Phone our bank and verify my permission for them to do so.
