Dispute it w/CC company

You have a right to dispute invalid charges to your credit card.

Yeah, I find that when the company I'm dealing with is unresponsive either out of negligence or by design, calling the credit card company to dispute a charge generally cuts right through all the baloney.

Sometimes I believe these companies' internal processes are deliberately designed to wear down dissatisfied customers until they just give up and go away. Not a very good long-term business strategy, though.

Good luck.

The lack of customer service that is pervasive today will drive just about anyone off a cliff.

I'm done dealing with the general state of stupidity. They get one chance to make it right........then I'm done with them.

A call to the credit card company gets me an immediate credit in five minutes and the future "investigation" has never resulted in the loss of that original credit.

When you consider that their customer service response to the credit card company will be similar to your own experience, you realize that you'll win that credit every time.

So, don't get excited about poor service.........hang up on 'em and make the call to the CC company.

In fact, American Express has taken the approach to simply issue a permanent credit right on the phone for any amount less than $75.00?? They don't even bother to negotiate the issue with the vendor. Not worth their time or effort. How's that for satisfaction??

Great except that eventually we, the consumers, will pay for that 'easy way out' mentality.

Well, I view it as a "card benefit". You know how A/E touts all their benefits over Visa........

Well, "not having to deal with the chimpanzees who work for customer service": PRICELESS

As Brian said, call credit car company and do a charge back. You shouldn't have to deal with their crap.
