I am ballistic. Bell just took out almost $700.00 from my account via 2 auto withdrawals 2 days apart. They say it was a mistake and it will take 4 to 6 weeks to issue me a refund. That is pure, unadulterated theft as far as I can see. What kind of company is this anyways?
Not too mention changing the billing locations last May and not telling me, has caused me to run up some big bills on calls that were previously free.
I am livid. I'm not the only one. There is major trouble at Bell. Just phone their customer service line.
Stay far, far away from Bell!!!!

Yep I'd be extremely mad too.

Bell is having huge problems in part because they are switching to a new phone system.

I dropped them and went with Rogers a few months ago. Very happy with Rogers.

I am a bell customer as well, although the hold time long and change is a pain in the butt, they are fixing it, prblms with other company are far worse then bell. I have been with bell for years and they offer far superior service over other companies. a few months of prblms is far better then years of prblms with everyone else. patience is a virtue!!! Smile

Bell did the same thing to me too! Though luckily it wasn't for as much money. Normally I'm signed up to a plan where they deduct $30 a month for evenings and weekends. I checked my credit card statement and found two deductions, two days apart for $65 each! I called Bell and spoke to an operator who admitted they'd made a mistake - something must have happened with their computer system because they had all of my old address information on file even though I know they had my current address they also had randomly increased the amount of my automatic deduction. When they finally refunded my money they credited it to my account, not to my credit card. I had no idea until I finally checked weeks later - of course with Bell Solo mobility you only have around 30 days to use any money in your account before it expires - and even though I never would have used that much money on my account, now I can't because it's expired. I sumbitted an e-mail to them weeks ago and have not heard back despite the fact that the website guarantees that I'll be contacted in 2 business days. I'm currently on hold with them, and have been for the last 36 minutes, trying to cancel my account. How else am I supposed to stop them from automatically withdrawing money every month if I can't get a hold of them???

I tried to cancel my bell mobility phone starting in Sept I actually even had one of their "customer service" agents hang up on me I finally got through at the end of September to be informed that I had to payout until the end of October. Their 30 day policy. I argued the point that I had been trying to get through for 30 days and that I would be paying only until the end of September the guy finally ok'd it and I thought it was done with until I got my next bill.I phoned back in the beginning of Nov to find out what was owing until the end of September and again argued with the "customer service" agent who told me that I was offered a free phone to stay with the company ...big deal all I wanted was to be able to cancel and pay until the end of Sept. My bill now went to the end of Nov, when I questioned that she told me to pay it and they would credit me back.... credit back to what I no longer have a phone with them.I told her I only wanted to know what I owed until the end of Sept and you know what ...she hung up on me!! I recieved a notice today of pay or else and again tried to contact "customer service" went through my whole story again with this person same thing still trying to find out what I owe till the end of September and guess what ..... I was hung up on again. I will never go with a bell mobility phone again. The service I had was fine until I tried to get rid of them and now they are a big nightmare.
