Pitney Bowes Inc.

Review: Our main complaint is the way in which the company suddenly changed their manner in which they contact us regarding our wishes for renewing our leasing of their equipment. Originally when we contracted leasing a postage meter through Pitney Bowes, a representative came to our office and a lease was signed. As office manager, I have been the person to set up these leases and am the person to notify for renewal. Recently, I called to let them know that I wish to get a smaller meter as they sent me advertisement for it. I was informed that our lease had been extended/renewed until April 30, 2018! I would have never done that. It was explained to me that Pitney Bowes emailed one of the physicians in the practice and obtained an e-signature to renew/extend the lease. This simply is not acceptable. After my attempts at speaking to customer service to resolve this issue, they stated that we have a contract which cannot be changed. I explained to that contact by email to gain someone's signature was never acceptable and that this was never agreed upon. I was the person who was supposed to be contacted. I even agreed to honor the lease if they would allow me to downgrade to a smaller, less expensive meter. Pitney Bowes refuses to work with me. They have falsely obtained a signature on a contract. We are cancelling our lease and wish to return the meter to them. I have inquired as to their procedure to return the meter, but have not been given a response as of yet.Desired Settlement: I am seeking to cancel the contract and return the equipment at this point in time. Earlier, I would have sought to find a compromise, but since they have not recognized that they have falsely obtained a signature on a lease, I just wish to cancel it at this point.

Review: Re : Lease Account Number [redacted]

We want to cancel this account for the following reasons :

1.) We are not able to provide tracking number to our customers when we are using the postage machine [redacted].

2.) As mentioned to Pitney Bowes Customer Service several times, we are not able to get details of postage to avoid fraud and Pitney Bowes Customer Service are unable to generate detailed report.

3.) We did not know we are leasing on quarterly basis. When we talked with the Customer Service they mentioned extension for the contract is monthly basis now is quarterly basis which is unusual business practices

We need a copy of our contract to review.Desired Settlement: We would like to cancel the contract. Pitney Bowes is asking us to pay the remaining contract plus early termination fee.

FYI, we have been working with Pitney Bowes for more than 10 years instead of satisfying customers they are using unethical or unprofessional business strategy to advantage of customers.

Hi Maureen,

Review: I have contacted this company many times to terminate a lease on a postage meter due to our facility closing. They have called by several time to but to my home phone rather than my cell, and when I do get a message and call back, it's 3-4 days when I receive a return call.I call again on July 2 and was told my call would be expedited and I would recevie a call by July 3 by 5:00pm. I'm still waiting on that call. I think this is a stall tactic to prolong the lease. We were also told a package would be sent to us to return the meter and that package never arrived.I had made my final call to Pitney-Bowes on July 2 and I stated this to the customer rep on the phone. This was my 2nd call about getting the issue resolve, the first time being in early June.

I would like a call back ASAP with information on terminating this lease and late charges dropped from the invoice for lack of follow up on their end. I would like the lease terminated ASAP with lease payout invoice ASAP. This is the only invoice outstanding by our company and we want all payables resolved as soonn as possible.

Dear [redacted],

[redacted] lease is a 42 month agreement with 27 months left on contract. Leases are non-cancelable and require completion of all payments per the terms and conditions of the contract.

Settlements are offered in situations when it is requested by a company to return equipment earlier then the term of the agreement. Settlements include remaining contractual payments, property tax, previous balance due including late charges, and equipment return fees per contract terms and conditions.

The current settlement amount is $1,678.40. Per our review of your lease and pay history, the non-negotiable reduced settlement has been approved for $ 1,009.85. This quote remains valid only until 7/30/13. If [redacted] wishes to accept this settlement option, payment should be mailed to the following address:

PB Global Financial Services, 1313 N. Atlantic Ave. Ste 3000, Spokane, WA XXXXX

As requested by [redacted], we have requested for the return of the equipment. The above Lease will be declared in default in accordance with the terms and conditions of our contract without payment by 7/30/2013. Return of the equipment prior to completing the agreement will not cure default on agreement. Failure to cure default will result acceleration of all unpaid balances and remaining Lease payments for third party collections.

Please let us know if there is anything further I can assist you with.

Respectfully,

Review: Our firm inadvertently transmitted funds electronically in two payments of $200 to Pitney Bowes (postage meter). These payments referenced an old lease number from 2007, however these payments should have been sent to an entirely different vendor an error on our part. I have called, faxed, and emailed Pitney Bowes over the past month and our bank has done the same attempting to recover the funds. We both have been unsuccessful in getting resolution. Our bank representative and I have sent multiple emailed to their lease department and received numerous reference numbers. We have had no success in recovering the funds and there is no point of contact within their lease department. The reference numbers Pitney Bowes provide us after each call has proven useless. It was advised that we inform the Revdex.com of these issues since we have been unsuccessful in resolving this issue.

Desired Settlement: DesiredSettlementID: Refund

We wish to recover $400.

Re: Payment Refund

In regards to (2) payments of $200 submitted by the [redacted] to PBGFS - Pitney Bowes Global Financial Services. The customer sent the payments in error to a lease they once had with PBGFS. Initial requests for research of the payments did not provide enough details to accurately determine if PBGFS had indeed received the payments and if so, where they were deposited. Once all the valid data was provided, the payments were found, moved to another Pitney Bowes business line where [redacted] still had an active account and the funds were posted to that account.

Our records show that the refund was processed in the amount of $400.00 on 7/29/13. Check #XXXXXXXX was mailed to [redacted] Metairie, LA XXXXX.

This the third time they have dropped the ball on me.Desired Settlement: Resolve situation. Compensate me for the hour wasted by representatives with an adjustment to my account for credit of 200.00 or cancel my account without any charges to my business for early termination of our agreement.

Review: This company assured me a free trial with no problems. I advised I did want or need the postal meter and the sales rep assured me there was no problem and that they would send postage for a return etc after the free trial. I called to cancel this service because I used it twice and have problems with it to boot, I paid for my postage using my credit card, so I do not have a balance!. The company never canceled this account and when I escalated to a Supervisor they told me that a box would be sent and a credit applied to the account, this was August 22, 2014 and I have a voicemail from a [redacted] still on my phone that assured me that this was handled. I received the box in about a week. I sent the device back. Weeks later I am being billed again and getting collection notices. Each time I speak with someone they assure me its taken care of only to get another bill and more automated collection calls, where I am on hold for nearly an hour! I tried to call [redacted] back at the number he left a voicemail with ###-###-#### and it is no longer in service!!!Desired Settlement: I wanted this account fully credited and closed. I also do not want to be contacted by this company ever again.

I never had such terrible service or lack of service from another other company that I have worked with in my entire life. The total lack of responsiveness from their customer service reps all the way to Management this company is a good example of how not to do business with your customers. I have been waiting for weeks on end for call backs, asked to talk to a manager and was given double talk, my paperwork was mishandled and now I still sit after 3 months still with no machine. If I had another choice I'd never work with this company and I'd be sure never to recommend this company to any of my colleagues.

Review: The package they claim to have sent got sent back or it was never delivered because I don't have it never used it and I don't want their service I told them that but they are still calling me with recordings asking for moneyDesired Settlement: They need to take my name off their list fix the billing and leave me alone

Response:

Review: Our company received a coupon to try the Pitney Bowes system and I decided to try the product. I had used Pitney Bowes many years ago and thought it was a good and convenient product, unfortunately things have changed. When I received the postage meter scale combination everything seemed to be fine except one thing...no instructions on how to set up the meter. So I called the company and it took them 3 hours to tell me to plug the machine into our internet server...this should have been known by the person on the phone in less than five minutes. After this, things went down hill. Shortly after we received the meter, about a week, we received coupons in the mall to get our $20.00 per month free stamps...$60.00 at a time not monthly, as stated, but quarterly. I have had problems with billing, and our company gets information after the fact, when it comes to charges. When I call it takes hours to get an answer and our company is nickel and dimed for things we were not aware of and was not in the fine print. I found out, after having the system past my 60 day trial, that every time, after the first 2 times I add postage, I will be charged $7.99 each time I add postage to my meter. This should have been divulged prior to my activating this system not after I see the money taken out of my account. I have been very disappointed at the service and run around I have gotten with this company...very disappointed! I have had to make a phone call at least once or twice a month since we have had the machine and each time I am sent to another department because the person on the line cannot help me. In these switches to other departments, I am cut off the call (having to call back and go through the same run around) or no one knows how to help me. I have asked to speak to supervisors only to be told the supervisor is not available. We are a small company and I wanted this system in hopes of cutting down travel time to get postage, this has cost me more time, frustration, and aggravation of any business I have ever work with. This is not the way to do business and treat customers.I am disappointed in Pitney Bowes, they are not the company they use to be.

Our company sent in a coupon for $60.00 in postage and we never received the postage! I would like to receive that $60.00 either in postage stamps from Pitney Bowes or a check in the amount of $60.00. We will be satisfied with either! The meter was sent back yesterday with 30 cents of postage left on the machine. I sent an email to get clearer instructions on how to remove the postage but never received a reply. So postage of $60.30 is the full refund we expect. Thank you!

There was a prior lease schedule [redacted]-001 that is being canceled as this account is in End of Lease. This schedule also owes a 0.00 balance.

This Revdex.com was inadvertently posted to the wrong Revdex.com Friday evening. I am not sure which Revdex.com number it posted to but it posted at 4:58 and there were about 3 attachments.

Please do not send to the wrong client. I am so sorry for the confusion and I appreciate your help.

Best regards, [redacted]

Review: While on [redacted].com purchasing business cards I was offered free mailing stamps with my order. Unfortunately I was unaware that the free mailing stamps weren't actually free, they were a inconspicuous malicious way for Pitney Bowes to sell me a mailing machine which I did not ask for. Immediately after receiving the "mailing machine" with a sheet of "free address labels" I attempted to contact pitney bowes in order to reuest a shipping address to send the mailing machine back or cancel it. After dealing with by far the worst customer service I've ever dealt with, I was transferred and bounced around through several sales departments instead of just given a place to send the machine/unopened box to. After being harrassed by a credit collection agency for the past few months I decided to contact Revdex.com where I was given the corporate office phone number. After speaking with an executive at Pitney Bowes she told me I owe Pitney Bowes $380 because I've had the machine for months. Immediately I once again requested a return address and was told by an executive over the phone with the authoritative power, "I can't give you the address its a process you must go through. "Somebody" will call you about this matter today." Neither I nor the helpful Revdex.com rep were able to understand why Pitney Bowes operates so fraudulently and can't resolve this matter on the spot. Its unconstitutional for PB to sell products through the checkout of a completely different business ([redacted]) and not only profit from it but send balances to collect agencies as well.Desired Settlement: As a college student at [redacted] in my 20's I would like Pitney Bowes to take action on this matter today. This unprofessional business practice has cost me my time, money, and credit score. Lastly, the major reason why I'm pursuing this in such detail is due to the fact that I know Pitney Bowes is unlawfully scamming many other college students and innocent individuals (who aren't computer scam friendly) as we speak and I'd like this to stop immediately.

Review: Through the Revdex.com I settled a dispute with Pitney Bowes, please see Revdex.com Case#: XXXXXXXX. I fully complied with the settlement agreement that was negotiated on my behalf. I forwarded a check in the agreed upon amount to Pitney Bowes, which was paid by my bank on December 10, 2011. At that time, this account should have been closed. I am still receiving billing statements from Pitney Bowes, Purchase Power Acct # XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX, showing additional charges for services dated January 9, 2013. I have no other accounts with Pitney Bowes other than the one that was settled through Revdex.com, and have not opened, nor authorized the opening of any additional accounts with them. I feel this account activity is fraudulent.

Desired Settlement: DesiredSettlementID: Other (requires explanation)

At this time, I feel Pitney Bowes is in breach of the settlement agreement, and are further attempting to perpetrate ongoing fraudulent charges. I demand that they reverse all charges, showing this account to have a $0.00 balance, and I further demand that this account show closed, effective December 10, 2012, the date they received funds from my bank for the initial settlement negotiated through the Revdex.com.

Dear Ms.[redacted],

Pitney Bowes is in receipt of Revdex.com complaint # XXXXXXXX. Pitney Bowes understands the frustration Mr. [redacted] has experienced. After full review of his account, Pitney Bowes Inc. takes full ownership and responsibility for the confusion and frustration we have caused Mr. [redacted].

The equipment was received back in our inventory and the lease account canceled. However, with the returning of the equipment, a Purchase Power rental invoice did get generated in error. This was due to the fact our system did not reflect the equipment having been returned. The invoice has been canceled and will reflect on the Purchase Power account within the next 30 days.

I have waived all late fees and finance fees associated with the Purchase Power account. Once our system cancels the invoice, the Purchase Power account will be at a $0.00 balance. The lease account has been closed and the equipment is back in our inventory. No additional invoices will generate.

I would like to apologize once again on behalf of Pitney Bowes Inc. We take full responsibility for the frustration and confusion this situation has caused.

Respectfully yours,
