The remote sensor of our 5-year-old 32-inch Proscan TV broke TWICE within a year. At the second time when the same part went bad (May 2006), I didn't want to fix it without knowing what's causing the problem; rahter, I wanted to buy a new more-dependable TV. Thomson, which is the manufacturer of ProScan/RCA TVs, could not answer my question, but their representative told me to get it fixed by the authorized repair company in town (we hired them.), Tyler's TV, again, then get the money ($89.95) back from Thomson. I trusted hi... read full review »

Recently, I received an ad from these folks (www.SatelliteSales.com) offering "Free 4-room system installed....$19.99 for over 80 channels...Free Dual-DVR upgrade... Free Showtime (for 3 months)..." I called, but was told that my credit "was not approved" and I must pay a large deposit for the four free rooms. Then they offered to check someone else's credit - anyone else's credit. On a hunch, I gave them my mother's info. She has a Platinum Amex card, with a perfect credit rating and a limit so high we... read full review »

I am unable to get your subscription to the Star Ledger started due to the following problems: 1. On 6/6 I sent in check # 1146 in the amount of $29.88 and the appropriate form for the twelve week subscription and the cooler bag 2. On 6/13 the check was cashed by Chase Bank 3. On 6/26 I called customer service and spoke to Steven and he asked me to fax him a copy of the check. I will not do so as it would be a long distance phone charge, I finally got him to give the address so I could send him a copy. Copy sent to his attention in... read full review »

Symantec - I would have been less frustrated with a virus - I think that with "virus protection service like Norton's who needs viruses? " (from "with friends like that who needs enemies?"). I have paid for a download which I didn't want to do, because I have dial up and really wanted the update mailed, but for some reason the renewal system wouldn't accept my payment (something to do with different addresses) which I didn't understand because I have had the same address for 20 years. Then the download did... read full review »

My son started receiving bills in his college dorm this past spring (2006) for a Playboy magazine subscription that he never ordered. He ignored the bills and now he has received the same nasty collection notice from Charles Martin that others here have mentioned. Charles is only asking for $10 for the subscription, so I guess his $17 and $12 scam solicitations aren't working for him. I don't recall the exact P.O. box, but it is definitely in a city in Iowa other than Des Moines, so he's moving around, too. Let's hope he... read full review »

Has anyone notified you about Publisher Business Services? Their address is 701 N. Green Valley Parkway Suite 200 Henderson NV 89074. They are pushing magazines. I said yes to this over the phone but when it came in the mail, there were 6 magazine subscriptions. I would be paying $20.00 a month for 29 months. I did not sign anything and I e-mailed to them to cancel the subscription plan. You might think you are getting a good deal but the cost is expensive. Mary Anne. read full review »

My neighbor and I went to the drive-in window at the sonice in trinity, texas and ordered three (3) Chocolate brownie blasts, which came to $7.11. I paid with a $20.00 bill and the attendant brought the three blasts but turned and left the window while my neighbor and I were trying to get the blasts in the car without spilling them all over the front seat....needless to say, the attendant never returned with my change. When I returned home and realized what had happened I called and was told she had already gone home but her register... read full review »

After spending 6 years with Dish, working with a young company in the early years, forgiving their mistakes that cost me weeks of no service. Huge upfront costs and a years service upfront to a get a good deal Paying for service that I went days and days with out because each time the dish was out of alignment, because of wind or weather, I would have to have a "service call" out to realign your signal.

I purchased a laptop computer and a service contract with Best Buy Alpharetta, GA last year for my son. On May 22 of 2006 we brought it in for simple service, the lid was not closing and was loose. They were to repair it within approximately 3-weeks. Our estimated completing date was June 26th. My son received a call to pick up the laptop around that date. He went and found that parts were missing! They now had to keep it again. On July 3rd he again went to pick it up only to find out that they had ordered the wrong parts and it would be... read full review »

Last week my husband and I ate dinner and had a mixed drink at Chili's, a newly opened restaurant in our area. Our food was good, but the drink was terrible...all the salt on the rim of my glass dissolved into the raspberry drink, making it taste terrible! Perhaps the rim should have been coated with sugar, not salt, as the drink was a sweet one. read full review »

I paid $45 for a book with my published poem in it back in february and they cashed the check. But i never recieved a book.

After paying for the KAZAA Music Downloads (www.mykazaamusic.com) service - I was able to use the program for 1 weekend then all kinds of crazy things went wrong-viruses on my computer; can’t download need to update cookies, all kinds of other messages would appear when trying to get to the music. I have sent many messages to them; tried to find a phone number. I was told by 2 people this was a great site-THEY WERE WRONG.

I hope this is the right complaints board, but I was disgusted to see sky sports news showing archive footage of some nobody from 2001 speaking about Erikson when i could easily have said in one sentence, the man is a joke and has ruined England's best chance of world cup glory especially with the other results. Get some better footage and just interview a random guy than that garbage. England could have gone the distance if it was down to a true english man, not a foreign joke of a manager who had no passion for the situation. I feel sick to my very core because of your coverage and englands lack of ambition to atempt to win the World cup. read full review »

I wish to compliant about the amount of soliciting sex late at night. As good movies are always on late, it is disgusting to see advertising for sex. (call me tonight-meet me etc)and also for mobile phones Soliciting in the streets is illegal and the type the of advisement on late is nothing less than blatant soliciting. We and many more like us would like you to look into it and rectify this problem. read full review »

This is the second week in a row that we've noticed a decline in product quality at Dunkin Donuts (Annapolis Maryland). The donuts appear smaller, greasier, less appetizing, less appealing colors, less wholesome and do not taste the same as they did just a couple of months ago. The chocolate tastes off. The blueberry tastes like something one would get out of a freezer box and cook in a microwave. The glazed is the saddest. It's hardly risen, and the coating is almost non-existent. I used the last of my Christmas coupon books to buy... read full review »

I had direct TV installed in march of 2005. Unknown to me at the time the installation was done using my local cable carriers line. Our home owners association has a deal with the local cable company and for a small fee tacked onto our yearly dues, we get expanded basic for pennies on the dollar. Well when i called our cable company to have dsl set up, they came out and found out that the Direct TV installer had not only used their lines, which i never gave them permission for, they cut a line into my living room for faster installation... read full review »

The company (www.bookspan.com) offered me a bookclub membership in 2002 with my agreement to buy (2) books within a year.

Over the past four months, we have been desparate to have corrected a bill that was sent out to us regarding our payment to Rogers Cable TV. Services. No one within the company sector could or would not acknowledge that we were overpaying on our account and kept receiving bills in the mail all with different balances that did not concur with our recording system. They admitted numerous times that the billing was wrong but continuously stated 'Pay the bill anyways, or you'll will be disconnected'. (quote unquote). Well guess what... read full review »

This Company is offering movies sales cheap, and they are charging your debit card or credit card more than once. I was recentlly checking my bank statement online and found out that they have charged my account twice for the same movie. I could have purchased the movie from a local store right here in my town, but the price I thought was unbeatable. Do not purchase anything from this company, it is a rip off. HotMovieSales. The next time I will just go to the nearest store and purchase my DVD's. A lesson well learned. read full review »

I have had directv for 6 years now in my RV. Up until last year I have had no trouble changing my location at least twice during the year in order to pick-up the local channels. Now they tell me that I cannot pick-up the local channels & they are blacked-out. I can only order the LA & NY local channels for an extra fee of $15.00 per month. Their intent is to increase their revenue & screw the customer service. I do not consider the LA & NY channels as local channels either. I would never recommend directv to anyone as this is just another example of poor customer service in a long list of poor customer service. read full review »

While having lunch with my wife at Miller's Ale House. I used the restroom, an employee of Miller's followed me in with a sray bottle and carrying a green micro fiber towel. The employee went into one of the toillet stalls with the spray bottle and the towel in his hands. It was apparent he was cleaning something in the stall. I went back to my table and observed the same employee with the same towel and sray bottle cleaning the restaurant tables. I asked the waiter if I could speak with the manager.

Lawyers in our firm have been approached by a number of purportedly "leading industry magazines" published in the UK, but they do not actually exist. They contact us telling us we have been named a leading firm in whichever practice area, and that to get our award mentioned we have to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a profile. So, if we don't pay we don't get a mention...how reputable is that? Any tiny unknown firm can be named a "Best Firm" as long as they pay up.
