Re: bad billing practice

based on the notes of that march 20th call, can you say that you explained that the account did not automatically renew??? did it say that I was told that I needed to take some action to renew??? did it say what would happen if I did not renew, ie..my rate would go to $49.95 This call was a perfect opportunity to give me "all" the information. I feel that the balance of responsibility is on your side since you know your policies the best. I made a special call about 45 days early just so I could make an informed decision and it sounds like I was told only 1/4 of the store. Please, please, please believe me, if I thought my bill was going anywhere but to $19.95 per month...I would of made a change!!!!!!!!! You are wrong and you "need" to do the right thing!

I am confident that the representative did provide the proper information. A renewal call is very straight forward as I am sure you saw when you recently renewed your service. We will not renew your account unless you give us your authorization to do so. Additionally as stated in our terms and conditions, if you do not renew your service it will be automatically placed on a month-to-month package as you were.

Thanks

Your read into the notes as you see fit! But when i expound, you say the notes do not specifically say that. You can not have it both ways.
What about your website saying your month/month rate is $34.95 for my area not $49.95

I filed a complaint with the fcc.

I have asked our billing manager to reach back out to you to try to come to an amicable resolution. She left you a message yesterday but did not hear back from you.

Good luck with that. You've simply been negligent.

a. DSL Extreme clearly states in the TOS that you will be put on a month-to-month rate. It is your responsibility to read the TOS. Clearly you did not.

b. DSL Extreme sends email prior to the expiration of the current contract. I guess you did not read the email?

c. You called to discuss the rates for renewal but never actually went through with it. Sounds like you called, got the information to perhaps talk it over with your wife, then forgot to call back to actually renew. How is that DSLX's fault?

d. You didn't realize for 10 months that you were being charged more (than you thought)? When I renew any kind of contract, I always scrutinize the bill for at least a month or two afterward to ensure the billing is proper. I don't see how DSLX is responsible for managing your finances.
