Take my money...PLEASE!!!

Post by PapaMouse » Thu Aug 30, 2007 1:44 pm

Why is is so hard to get a company to take $500 from you?

Ok here's the story.

I have Disney Mobile Cell phone. It was turned off on the 2nd of Aug for non payment. I owed them $472.00. I talked with the Financial service supervisor on the 2nd and told him I got some money comming in on the 30th and would oay it then and re activate service. He said ok.

So yesterday I called at 8:30 am and tried to pay them with my credit card. I am told that the day before (the 28th) the accnt went from suspended status to terminated and the computer woul dnot take my payment by phone and that I would have to mail it in.

I said that was BS that the accnt was to remain open untill the next biling cycle so I could pay it. I asked them "If I mail in the payment what will they do with it?" she said they would post it to the accn't. I said "Then why can't they do that now with my card?"

Well, cutting this story short it took me literaly all day untill 4:30 that afternoon and talkign to 5 different supervisors untill they FINALLY tookmy payment so I could reactivet my srevice, and buy a 2nd phone for my wife.

The last girl I talked to was great (sounded cute too and I enjoyed our flirting back and forth *wink) she fixed it all, got everything set up. I told her how unbelivable it was that they would call me every month asking for payment and now that I was trying to pay them they didn't want it. :rolleyes:



My wife said I should have called and asked when the bill will go to collections because I know they will take a credit card payment by phone.LOL

Just out of curiosity,did you get/write down the name of the Financial supervisor???
I 'always' tell people on board X to do just that. Puts Mr./Ms. what ever their name is on the carpet. :cool:

having worked in a call center, im on their side. Its not the reps fault, or even Disneymobiles fault you couldnt pay your bill, and even if they worked out an agreement with you, if they want to discontinue service they can.

Having said that I think its crappy that for whatever reason they didnt hold up their end. But when the situation was your fault to begin with... well I just dont see them at fault. Sorry

Great googly moogly! Who is the provider? I'd be like "Cellphone? What cellphone?" when they called looking for $$$$

Oh, and the boy would be working it off, like cutting the lawn with scissors

Marry me...lol

Apostrophe is one of my all time favorite albums (yes, i had it in album form, then tape, now in CD). My hubby and I quote it often. Most people have never heard of it...their loss IMO.
