[Horror Story[ How HTC is Screwing me over! Incompetency to the max.

[Guest mixxy]

Hello everyone, this is my horror story that began on June the 30th of 2010 and is still ongoing.

All for a swap of my defective HTC Nexus One phone.

I request that you please show your support as the only way we can ensure something like this doesnt happen again is to band together.

Here is the story:

I had arranged for my nexus one which had started to accumulate dust underneath its screen to be replaced by HTC. When I received the replacement, the unit had a faulty screen, power button and the battery cover would not fit properly. As a result, I filed a complaint online and received a call back from an agent who advised my that a replacement can be set up for the DEFECTIVE REPLACEMENT UNIT that I had received.

I told her that I would like to go ahead with that, but I'm currently busy and need the device and I would appreciate it if she could call me back on the 25th of August to set up a replacement. She agreed and scheduled me for a call back.

I ended up not needing my device for as long as I had anticipated and called in myself on the 14th of August to set up the replacement myself and had it arranged. I shipped the defective unit and according to the details from FedEX the unit was received on the 24th of August at the repair facility. The previous agent did STILL give me a call back on the 25th of August. She confirmed with me that she saw on the notes for my case that I had called in and had the replacement set up, and if I was satisfied. I told her yes, I have sent in the defective unit and am just waiting for my new unit to come back to me. This was on the 25th of August.

Two weeks later, I called in to HTC and inquired about the status of my phone as I had received no notification or my new device. I was advised that for some reason, my previous ticket was CLOSED AND DISCARDED. ***WITHOUT A REPLACEMENT UNIT BEING SENT BACK TO ME***

Since that date, I have been calling HTC almost EVERY SINGLE DAY, speaking to supervisors after supervisors, who have ALL promised me call backs but have NEVER called me back (for the exception of ONE SINGLE PATHETIC PHONE CALL, to advise me that Britney, a supervisor at the call center, had NO information for me).

I have since called in almost every day, and EVERY SINGLE DAY I have been promised a call back from a manager, or Upper management, but HTC has failed to deliver EVERY single time.

I have been lied to by agent after agent, and supervisor after supervisor, and what is even more sad is that I still have NO INFORMATION about the status of my device after an astounding MONTH AND A HALF.

I have spoken to agents by the following names at the call center:

Chardene

Chantelle

Christopher

Daniella

and 3 others whose name I cannot remember

Supervisors by the following names:

Nicole

Daniella

Pamela

and two others whose names I cannot recall at this time.

EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE AGENTS HAS PROMISED ME CALL BACKS EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE CALLED. AND I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED MORE THAN ONE CALL BACK (FROM BRITNEY, who is supposedly working on my case, who did not even speak to me, but left me a message on a phone number that I specifically asked *on at least 5 occassions* to not call me at).

HTC has absoloutely dissappointed me.

The following are my case numbers that were created by HTC that are relevant to this issue:

10CAC37***124 - This is a repair ticket which was created WITHOUT MY CONSENT, and I was advised by Chantelle, that the reason this was created was due to the fact that a unit cannot be in HTC's posession unless there is a ticket created. They told me not to worry about it

10CAD3****0107 - this ticket number is the replacement that was setup for my DEFECTIVE REPLACEMENT DEVICE and WAS DISCARDED WITHOUT A NEW DEVICE BEING SENT BACK TO ME

10CAD2****0073 - this ticket number was created for the defective unit which had dust underneath its screen, and was to be replaced originally with a WORKING unit.

The serial number for my device that was sent in is: HT03TP9**153

The serial number for the defective replacement device which was sent back is: HT03TP9**136

HTC promises to its customers that once a defective device has been received, a new replacement device will be shipped out the NEXT business day. Clearly, these are all lies. Not only have HTC displayed incompetency in helping out a PAYING customer, but they have LIED on many occasions to their customer.

I even called the corporate head office and left a message on the voice machine about this issue, but did not receive a call back. Hopefully, this will now get sorted out.

The original defective device was set up to be replaced on the 30th of June, 2010 and it is now September 2010 and we are still nowhere.

(Sept 20th) last time i spoke to them was on Monday, I was supposed to get a call back from upper management of the call centre on that day, but of course, that was another lie. So i called in myself and asked to speak to someone.

ended up speaking to a supervisor who claimed that she promises first hand that someone WILL call me back by the end of the day today (monday), and what do you know. today is wednesday and still no information, no call backs and im sure ill be on the phone with them again shortly to figure out whats going on now

wow that sucks - sorry to hear your story.

I am in a bad situation also. My N1 power button broke so i sent it in for repair and cross shipped a new unit. I thought all was well until HTC started calling me and telling me they wanted to charge me $120 for a new screen replacement. I informed them that they are crazy and the power button was broken, not the screen, and they replied with "We found a problem with the screen and are going to charge you for it".

I'm at the point where I am willing to just call my bank and tell them that HTC is fraudulently trying to charge me and to deny the charge as the agents I spoke with will not listen to reason.

Needless to say, I am never buying another HTC phone again.

i feel ur pain man. as far as i know HTC recently changed their facilities, so it could be because of that; but thats all conjecture.
