Internet overcharges/poor customer service
What a rip off! I have had Bell Internet for a little more than a year. Switching to Bell was a huge error in judgement. The service has actually worked well for six of the 14 months I've suffered with Bell, 4 modems replaced ( nothing wrong with any of them but it gets you off the phone) line trouble, speed issues, entire neighborhood outages ( one lasted a month) and the Bell CSR was stupid enough to tell me it's taking so long because the parts are really expensive. I can't count how many times I've spoken to their customer service in India where their don't give a damn and try to upsell you. All said, it's pretty disgusting that Bell has to be so cheap that they outsource their customer service and reputation to India! Why should Canadians support Bell in any way when Bell hasn't got the decency to support Canadian jobs just to save a buck. So a couple of months ago my bill had usage surcharges on it, I called as painful as it was and was sold a "protection charge" that would ensure this would not happen again. Another lie, last month my bill had more surcharges despite the reps promises. I called internet billing, they were not interested in discussing it, didn't really care. I called the General Managers office, got voice mail and no return call. What a surprise! So now I have vowed to make it my mission to tell everyone how bad Bell sucks! Everyone I know, everyone I meet, as publicly as possible. Everyone should tell Bell to go to Hell, after all, that's what they do to their customers every day. Maybe Canadians should ship Bell to India along with the jobs they shipped overseas!

Lied about Billing
I was quoted by a Bell sales agent that I could receive the same service from Cogeco for a cheaper price with Bell Canada. I had paid $174 / mos for Internet / TV / phone with Cogeco and the sales agent quoted me $164 / mos with Bell. They also promised a $185 credit for switching services. My service was switched over December 23, 2009. I receive a bill for $205 on January 20, 2010 and in less than a month I receive another $205 bill on Feb 11, 2010 for Bell's phone / internet / TV service. I also receive a bill for my last month of service for Cogeco of $185 in January 2010. I paid a total of $595 for less than 2 months internet / TV / phone service. This is fraudulant advertising and a criminal activity. I am extremely disappointed with the Bells actual service charges and the fact that Bell is decieving potential customers of the actual charges for their services to lure them into a contract.

Customer Service
We were a few days late paying our bill and were being harassed with phone calls. I was getting a little short on the phone because I had already given them the day that it would be paid and their phone calls were getting annoying - not to mention that they had woken the baby a few times!!
One particular call I hung up in frustration. The Bell representative called back and left a message calling me by name and said "Go F__ yourself, you F___ing B__"
We called and complained about this horrible service and they said it would be dealt with internally - and they would not call us back to let us know that it had been dealt with. Nice. I doubt anything was ever done -- what do they care? They got their money!

Accounts
Does anyone have an email address for Bell Canada accounts? I have a letter to submit to them and they only allow 2000 characters through their website. Has anyone received correspondence from Bell Canada Accounts or Customer Service with an address I can use? I'm at [email protected]. Thanks - Annie

Outbound Campaign a LIE!
I was with Rogers home phone paying $27+ tax and I received a phone call from Bell saying they will offer me $25 + tax to port over. I inquired about cancellation and the guy said no cancellation fees and did not advise me about anything else. I got the guy's name, ID# even confirmation # of the call. The Bell rep comes in and installs my home phone service and all is good. A month later Rogers offers me a better deal and I port back to Rogers. Meanwhile I get my first bill from Bell and the charge is $32.95 + tax for my home phone service! I call Bell to complain and advise of the deal I got to port over. The guy said he doesn't see anything in the system about the offer and I give him the conf# of the outbound call and everything. Still cannot find anything, after much arguing the rep says he will offer me a $10 discount on my next bill and I will pay this bill and then recieve a $20 something dollar credit on my next bill. My next bill comes in the mail and I see the credit but on top of that I see a home phone deactivation charge of $28.56! I call in to dispute and speak to a manager. He said that I was informed of this deactivation charge if I didn't give 30 days notice of cancelling. I tell him OBVIOUSLY the outbound rep who called me wasn't doing his job properly because he didn't tell me and on top of that I didn't get the plan I was offered as he can see from the first bill. The supervisor said it is a valid charge and nothing will be done! Now why the heck would I waste my time and money to port over to Bell who lies to me and tells me I will get a $25 + tax plan and on top of it pay a $28.56 deactivation charge!? I get scammed into going to Bell by their outbound liars and on top of it they steal more of my money and waste my time! NEVER going to do any business with BELL EVER. LIARS AND VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Over Charging
I am writing to express my disapproval with the service that Bell Canada recently provided me. When I accept to get Bell TV Satellite service, beside the current, home phone, high-seeped Internet, I expected it would be done completely and professionally. However, Bell service was as neither had I expected, nor as Bell Canada’s representative described it would be, alongside with overcharging and doubling my bill.
Bell Canada is over charging me for the satellite services in 2 years period of amount of $184.39,
Bell Canada sent me a letter back in July 2009, to invite me to use their satellite TV of (211 channels, for $13/Month with a contract of 24 months, on a bundle deal, as I am a customer with Bell Canada for home phone and high-speed internet.
When, I called to sign for the TV satellite service on the phone; also, they told me “over the phone” and it is showing at bell web site, that by buying the HD receiver at $199, I will get a credit of $100 on my very first bill, which it did not happened.
When I received my first bell, it was overcharged ($25/Month, after the bundle credit) which is not accepted
I called bell Canada, “Multi products department” they told me that letter is only advertising to get new customer, and it can be done, he even admit that is a fraud, when I argue about the deal showing in the letter, Bell Canada persons that, this deal will met if the HD receiver was rented for $10/ Month.
After I have spend 3 hours on the phone, they can not owner that deal, ($13/Month, for 24 months), the best they can do, is $14.5 for only 12 month out of 24 month and the other 12 month I would have to accept to pay $ 25/ month.
Bell Canada is overcharging me over 24 month’s period of $184.39

Taking advantage of Disabled people!!!!!
December 17, 2009
Let me tell you this story!
My wife is disabled yes disabled and she was out of town and her phone broke. She went to a Bell World store to get a new phone. They told her that her phone could not be fixed and that she would need to buy a new phone. She did the clerk told her she had a 100.00 credit on her account she said great! she padi cash for the new phone. Not knowing by accepting the 100.00 coupon she was agreeing to a new 3 year contract! Way to go Bell take advantage of disabled people! now i wanted to cancel her services and get her a pay as you go phone... they told me it would cost me $763.00 to break out of the contract! Again Bell Canada screwing disabled people should be proud of yourself!!!
Customer Service and sympathy NONE!!!
WIND will put you out of business i hope!
I was hoping that someone at Bell had the courage to call me back and explain to me how they think they have the right to screw disabled people out of little income they do make? She can't afford to pay that much now she will need to pay so much a month and they will charge her crazy interest...
Thank you

two accounts for same service
I keep getting 2 different bills every month from Bell Canada, for same service ( phone line ) is paid alone in one bill, then few days latter, it is is charged again with the Bell Express view, i have complained some months ago but Bell continues to no correct mistake and bill gets bigger, information over the phone is one thing, but i receive billing as if did not have called to complain or disrespecting phone decisions on both sides, the same has happened in the past with my master card, causing me to loses credit for this reason, not fair... can this problem with Bell allow for them to cut my phone ? i pay my home line every month on one of 2 accounts... but in the second the false debt get's bigger, the name and phone number are the same, for this reason i think it may be an internal problem with Bell and Bell Express Vu. Please help.

unauthorized billing
Last year, Bell Canada put my phone bill and satelite on ONE bill. Many many times I asked to have separate bills, as our home business pays for phone, but the tv satelite was a personal expense, and I wanted them separately billed. I could not get them to separate the bills, so last November (2008) I cancelled the satelite completely. I still had three months to pay for rental on the receivers, and I agreed to pay that, but that I didn't want the satelite hooked up. No problem they shut it off, and I paid for the next three months for the receivers (and the phone).
Then in March (2009) unknown to me, they started supplying satelite to me again (even though the receivers were no longer hooked up to the tvs), and we were using free antenna. After calling in April, and May to tell them they were billing me for services not authorized, they told me to be Patient, and it would resovle in the next month or two on the billing.
In September they shut my phone off for non payment...I was still being billed over $90 per month for satelite...they refused to put my phone back on until I paid in full (including the satelite), also a $250 security deposit...ARGGGHHHHH!!! Well we paid up using my husbands Visa. Got the phone back on, FINALLY got the satelite straightened out, they agreed to credit my account two months satelite immediately $201. and change, and the remainder of $645.57 would be credited within 3 to six weeks, I was told to be patient. Again.
Last week my phone was shut off again for non payment...still no credit!!! ARRRGGHHHHH!!!
After talking to several people (even a couple who spoke English) I was told that the phone would be put back on, and the credit would be put through that day...well the phone was turned on anyway. Monday (Nov 16th 09) I got a call from billing telling me to pay up or else...I told her not to put it through the visa as a credit was coming soon...she said she didn't care about a credit I had to pay now!!! I told her to not use the visa, that she could take the phone and shove it up her ass before I would pay anymore money.
Well today they put through a payment on my Visa, and now refuse to give it back. This is over 9 or ten phone calls all over the original problem from over a year now. When they told me to be patient today, I told them I wasn't going to be patient anymore. Then Iana employee number EX23448 got in touch with her manager Shane Munroe, and it will all be fixed today, and that to call Visa to have the bill reversed. Well Visa can't reverse without talking to Bell. When my husband and Visa did a three way call (10 minutes after my call to bell) Malissa ID 4EX68595 was very rude, said there was no payment on my account and she didn't care about a credit owed to us either. she put my husband and Visa on hold for over an hour while she "investigated". It was left that a manager will call us within 12 - 48 hours to discuss it...REALLY ??? I won't hold my breath waiting for a call.
What does a person have to do to get SOMEONE at Bell Canada to follow up on their promises? If ANYONE at Bell Canada reads this, you should all be ashamed of yourselves

Bell.ca sealing money from customers
Since many years, we are getting ripped off by Bell, and I am now very upset. First off They first sold me a combine service saying (promesing)) that we would get a monthly $5 rebate on each service as long as we keep the services, Well since tow years they stopped giving the rebate on each service and got down to one rebate for all the services.
Second, I recently cancel my internet services because they added over 50% increase in one year on their internet dial up service (Outrageous) I was paying $15.95 per months and getting a 5.00 rebate as per their promises, I never had a contract one that services, last year they stopped giving that rebate and they increased their fee to 29.00 per year if we did not signed for a one year contract. I did not want to sign a contract because their dial up service was not working properly I can never have easy aces to the internet the server is always busy most of the time we have to dial five or six time to get a connection. After getting connected it take about ten to fifteen minutes to get any web page and sometime it never come The service is not reliable. But I need it to get my emails, I have bean asking for Hi Speed internet since ten years and they do not care to bring it a couple of miles from there they have it since ten years, They have the monopole and no competition seem to be able to use the phone line, I only wish I could change from bell to a different provider. Impossible. Everyone I talk to is fed up with Bell service.
In all I was promessed discout that just desapered along the way, I waite so many day's trying to report this. I think that the discount offered it is a gamique to eventualy get it lost in the system, otherwise why dont they just give you a god rate to start with, why all these discount.
We should all get together and file a clas action lawsuit agains Bell.ca. These is a blog where you can post your complain for that purpuse. http://bellmembers.blog.ca/
Lately in three occurrences they try to steal money from me by over charging my account, (one time was 150.00 addition charge in one month) I had to spend countless hours reporting this to them, it toke me several day's and many many hours of complaining before they credited back my account, I had an automatic back payment set up with them.
See they are billing one month in advance and last months I canceled two of my services(Internet and Two Movie premium channel) because I was going to my US residence for the wither. Well they are ripping me off again, I spent again countless hours on the phone trying to reach them, finely their excuse was that they don't prorate the charge we have to wait a full month before the cancel the service. I was not using that service for the full month but they still billed me. I had called them on the 23 Oct 2009 and spoke to Patricia badge # 6044690 she assured me that I would not be charge for the next month which is fair because I was not using the service. Well on the 28 a bank redraw still for the full service was taken, when I called in and asked why they toke the money from my account they offered me 25.00 credit for my trouble. well it did not ad up to what I was supposed to get at least 31 + tax for the 2 TV movie premium channel and an other 16.99 for the internet. I kind of got fed up and did not have any more time to argue with this so I let it go.
This month again I checked my bill and they did credit my account the $25.00 that they said they would but in return they charge me again for the services I do not use and canceled for their following month, they again over charged me for a service I do not use.
I have to take time away from work again on Monday and call them trying to resolve this again and again. I am sooo fed up with them, I have to use them as there is no one else providing telephone, internet and TV services in my area.
It seem that I am not they only one they are doing this to, it was on the News the other day, Everyone I know is complaining about bell and I wish some government agency would investigate them and give them fines to pay and oblige them to give back all the money they are stealing form us small consumers.
Is there anything you can do?
It is a shame that such a big company making sooo much money, take in their hand to steel from us just because they have the monopole.
If you read this, Thank you for your time.
