Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
I did speak with GTL on Saturday or Sunday and hadn't had time to yet document that here I wrote into the Revdex.com because of three failed attempts to get my refund in process The first being a phone call when I learned the funds were no longer in my account and I was told to request the refund by emailing GTLI sent two emails and did not receive any response As stated in the original complaint, I contacted GTL Again and a manager helped me this time and provided a fax It was a week after that fax was sent that I'm told GTL began the processing That is a period of three weeks I was asking for consideration that my credit be processed in a more timely manner than weeks from the date "accepted" by GTL since I have documents to show that I emailed the correct number for the complaint.Also, "Business Days" is what I was quoted before the customer service rep knew I had paid with a check When I spoke to GG (Glenda I think was her name), she assured me I would have payment around the week of Thanksgiving.I am okay closing the complaint but I would like one last response to go back to the business for consideration.It is a very frustrating situation having a loved one incarcerated We are without income and physical support and it cost families a lot of time, energy and money to maintain contact with our loved ones We appreciate the ability to have prepaid accounts but do understand that there is a whole industry that profits from our loved ones bad decisions and the suffering the family endures during their incarcerations I would like the business to look at their business practices concerning "business day" processing times of refunds, and that no notice is posted on the website under their terms and conditions, at least I was unable to locate this Had I read this, or if notice was posted when payments are made, I may not have felt the need to come to the Revdex.com I would recommend that you create auto res ponders when your company is emailed so the families know that their communications were received Also, when the communications fail to reach the business and they are properly sent in, place such requests in line with others received at the same time GG was awesome - very friendly, unlike the front line customer service reps that I have spoken with at GTL - I have found them to be rude and unhelpful

Though the letter that I read was correct , in most parts However I was never informed of the $charge to open a $account , nor was I told of the $3.XX charge , each time I accepted a collect call; even though they also charged $per minute afterwards, I will not dispute the charge of $per minute, everybody has to have a living But all other charges I feel are illegal , and they did not inform of such , until after they had my money , and I accepted a call
