The PVR Scam
My complaint is laid out for public notice at www.wakeuptoronto.com - Anyone interested in joining me in an organized attempt to allow competition into this area of the Television Market

Billing/Packages
Ok so how does it make sense that if I have been a customer of bell for approx 15 years and i pay alot for my service with them. i have phone internet and tv with them. a new customer coming in can get there service for almost $80 cheaper a month. i dont get it. my cell phone is with rogers and i have been with them for approx 8 years now. i have called them and stated that i seen that there was a plan from telus that was cheaper and that i would switch if they couldnt get me the same features for the around the same price. without even thinking they did this. now that is good service. where is yours bell?

unauthorized account change
In July of 08 My common law spouse transferred HIS T.V service(Bell Expressvu) to another address and had the phone dissconnected, We had the so called ONE BILL . He requested to have the satellite transferred to a different address and phone cancelled they talked him into keeping the phone and transferring that to his new addy.
I called and requested that the internet and I stressed to the Person who could barely speak english (probably had no idea what i was saying) that only the internet was to remain in my name and remain at the existing addy. Later I then requested telephone service. which was no problem.
It wasn't long after that that I began recieving a bill for Bell Express view and when my ex- partner began calling to fix a problem they could not give him any info as his name was not on the account. So here I was recieving Bills for a service I did not have, and how my name got on that account is beyond me.
I attempted several time to call and rectify this to no avail, All my responses were you name is off the account and you will no longer recieve any further bill for that service. And of course all these people that I did speak to had a very thick accent that I could not understand and I am positive that they had no clue as to what I was saying . There is a Huge Huge language barrier which Bell (a multi million dollar company should fix)
The last time I attempted to speak with Bell I was told that I need authorization from my ex commom law spouse to have the account put back in his name, well my problem with that is THey didn't need authorization to switch it to my name in the first place after all I did stress that only the internet service was to reamin in my name and at the existing addy (I think a 5 year old would even understand that)
Now that account is with a collection agency which I am avoiding and I refuse to pay as I am not going to pay for a service I never had.
further more if they (bell) can switch the name on account without my authorization they can switch it back as it was there mistake in first place.
Although this may sound racist I assure you I am not however bell should have a better screening process when employing people of another nationality they need to make sure that these would be employees can understand and speak english;

cancellation of services
I was living in sudbury on a work contract from september 2008 to march 2009. During this time I was recieving service from Bell Expressvu. My work contract ended and I cancelled the Expressvu service. I was aware that I would be charged a penatly for terminating the services early.
I was told that I would be sent a "return kit" in the mail within 30 days of the termination date (april 11 2009). I have not received any such kit, the date being may 11 2009. I have spoken at great length on the telephone with various employees of Bell, all of whom have a different story about what has happened. Originaly I was told this "kit" would take 30 days to get to me. The conversation I had with employee # 51276 today May 11 2009 stated I would receive this "kit" within 5-7 days. I was also informed that I had purchased the receiver and at the same time was paying a rental charge.
The absolute incompetence of Bell Expressvu employees is remarkable. I don't know whether to feel sorry for them or to scream at them. One would think there must be some sort of unified information system in place at a company as big as Bell.
The outcome of todays conversation with employee # 51276 stands as such : I will receive this "kit" within 5-7 days, I have a credit owed to me from Bell which will be payed, I will receive a document stating I have not been charged the purchase cost of this receiver and that the rental charge ended April 11 2009 nor will I be charged down the road for this.
Will Bell see this through ?? I doubt it. If they don't however I will be forced to take other action to see it through myself.

Billing and poor service
2005 I had an account with Bell Expressvu. I bought a PVR from Futureshop, which I activated. Next month, I was charged the full cost of the PVR on my visa. It took months to have it reversed. I was told by Bell Expressvu that it was my responsibility to prove that I didn't buy it from them.

2007 Bell Expressvu convinced me to do the Nimiq 2 upgrade at no charge to me. The installer asked for a visa number for security. Next month $199 was billed to my visa. I was told that it would be returned via programming credits. 4 months later I cancelled my account. 1 year later I got the credit by calling the head office in Montreal.

Yesterday (Apr 24/09), as incredible as it sounds, decided to give them another chance. During the web chat I was told that the reconnect would cost $50, no contract. When I called to reconnect I was told $50 and I would have to sign a 1 year contract. The person was very abrupt. They don't deserve my business.

Invalid charges and
I had been leasing a PVR from Bell ExpressVu each year, and somewhere around Sept 2007, the hard drive failed. After troubleshooting with support they agreed to replace the reciever, and send an empty box to return my old PVR. I recieved the new PVR, and returned the old PVR in the box ExpressVu sent me. After about a week or so, I got a second empty box to return a PVR, which I did not have. (I had the new one on lease until Nov). I ignored it, thinking it was their mistake.

In December they had charged me $500 for the unreturned receiver. I called them on Dec 13th and they accepted their mistake, cancelled the charge and said it will be sorted out in my next bill. The Jan bill came and I saw the charges again, with late payment charges. I thought they would clear it in the next bill. Then soon after, I got a voice mail from the Bell Credit and Collections dept asking me that I pay all the $575 with soon. I called the ExpressVu rep for the 2nd time on Jan 13th and the she apoligized, and cancelled the charges again.

Yesterday (Jan 29th) I got a call again from the Bell Credit and Collections and asked me to pay the bill. I said it is not my fault that the ExpressVu did not let them know. She asked me to call ExpressVu and clear the matter. I called ExpressVu rep (3rd time) and she said the same thing as before, that the charges will be cancelled in the next bill and they had already let the Billing dept let know about this on Jan 9th, 2009. (How absurd?)

I called Credit and Collections and they demanded that I pay the $575, now until it is credit in my bill. I refused and asked to speak to the his Supervisor. Then he decided to make a note on the account and clear the matter. I was annoyed by this whole episode, and asked that he let me talk to his manager. He asked me to holdon, and after about 5 minutes the phone was disconnected.

I have been a loyal Bell customer (Phone, ExpressVu, Internet) for more than 10 years. Their service is really pathetic, and I recently changed my tv to Rogers (not that their any better).

I hope someone note of this complaint, and do something about their incompetent staff. Also each time I did not pay the bill they had charged me a "Late Payment fee Unregulated" which I will never get back, and which is their mistake. I wonder how these companies with bad customer service and incompetent practices survive, scamming on unsuspecting individuals. Shame on Bell!!!

Bad experience
I moved into a condo that does not allow satellite dishes. I cancelled my Expressvu service in June 2008. I am still trying to get them to cancel it 6-months later. They are supposed to mail me a box to return my receiver. As of now, they have charged me $700 for the cost of the receiver and will not reverse it until they receive it back. That would be fine except that they have been trying to mail me a box for 6-months now. How can a compay be this incompetent? They seem to have no trouble mailing bills? It seems that if you owe them a little money, they are all over you and could track you down to the ends of the earth. If they have to do something for you, they couldn't be bothered. If they think that this does not cost them business, they would be dead wrong. Not only would I never get their satellite system again if we were able, but I was going to cancel my current cell phone and transfer to Bell's service. There is no bloody way now. If they send me a bill for the receiver which I no longer want or, can use, I will take them to court. I have spent approx. 12-hours over 6-months trying to get a box. If anyone has this service, be aware that you can probably never get it cancelled. If you are considering this service, I wouldn't do it. At least with our Shaw cable system, they have a physical location where I would go and leave the receiver and get a reciept. With Bell, you are at their mercy and if you don't pay, they will damage your credit bureau which is why I am willing to go to court. Avoid this company at all costs.

Porn
I am sick and tired of flipping thru stations in the evening or early hours of the night to find porn on the movie channel. Why do I have to pay for this crap when this porn should be on the Venus channel. I pay for movies not porn!!! What if I had young teens here and flipped thru to find a female giving head to a male, with all the moaning with it!! The damage is done in seconds. I really, really resent paying for this crap. Why is it allowed on the movie station??? XS - so what!!! When I contacted expressvu to inform of my feelings, the young lad laughed and offered the web site to register. I should have asked for the manager, but hung up I was so mad.

Take this crap off of the movie channels and keep it on the Venus channel for the people who choose porn.

I want movies, not porn!!!

Customer Service
Twice now we've had errors with our billing records, and both times the customer service representive we FINALLY were able to speak with offered a form of credit on our account to resolve the issue. The first time was to refund a double charge we received, the second was to offer us a credit of 3 free movies. Both times their finance department "rejected" the credit request. Both times no one bothered to contact us to advise us that the credits had been cancelled. Instead our next bills automatically included the charges.

Try getting a response from anyone other than their front line of tech support though! So far they've been unwilling to do anything but cut 'n paste some crap about their web site and their eagerness to help (NOT!).

Very disappointing. I do NOT recommend Bell ExpressVu service.
