Review: Upon ordering services for Time Warner Cable Signature Home service, I was sold an alarm system that provided fire monitoring, this was the primary reason for choosing this company and product, upon arrival of the installer it was discovered that in fact he did not have a fire sensor and it took 3 calls and 7 transfers to have it explained as the installer finished his work and departed that TWC Signature home could not offer such a service in New York City they are not qualified. Upon review of the installation I found large holes in the wall in slightly odd spots with debris left on the floor (i have pictures) The provider did not setup a custom wireless name or password, did not setup the phone service or provide a phone number for that service that was part of the triple play style bundle. Also, the DTA for the extra TV showed up as not authorized. This installation was done on Friday between 1pm and 4pm. That evening about 10-11pm I called to cancel services, I spent over 45 minutes and was transferred several times, in the end I was told they would cancel the alarm signature home but I had to cal back to cancel the rest another day. On Saturday I called and waited just over an hour (one hour, I have screen shots) and was transferred time and time again because TWC could not get the automated system to do anything but bring me back to Signature home who could not cancel my core products. When I asked about the $500.00 payment I made in advance of the service install I was told billing would deduct for time used and other fees, when I asked for billing no one could figure out how to transfer me to them. I called again on Sunday and gave up after a 20 minute hold again.Desired Settlement: Refund my $500.00 send me a box to send you your junk and stay away from my home.

Response:
On 9/**/14 a message was left confirming that a credit of $500.00 has been issued back to the credit card to resolve the dispute. A second message was left on 9/**/14.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
Complaint as it is not settled, TWC has sent a bill for approximately $280 to collections for services it claimed it resolved in the original complaint

Response:
[redacted] has advised customer that all billing will be corrected and TWC's records will be updated.
Review: Ordered service under promotion of free installation and first month. Never received and am facing turn off as customer service refuses to listen to me. Additionally, my service was never hooked up for all rooms I'm being billed for.Desired Settlement: Correct bill
Business
Response:
A review of [redacted]'s account indicates there were no installation fees assessed. Customer was billed a $50.00 deposit fee which is refundable upon disconnection. TWC has no offers available for one month of free service, such a promotion does not exist and TWC regrets any possible confusion. Based on TWC's records there is no basis for credit and payment must be made.
Review: I have been a customer of Time Warner Cable for nearly 8 years at 2 separate residences. I've been a customer not by my own choice, but because I have not been able to shop around comparing services, reviews and prices. In the areas that I was living, Time Warner had a monopoly. Most recently, I was only using TWC's internet service and opted to go with faster speed internet so that I could stream TV/Movie content on my Roku Box. The service was slow, spotty and inconsistent. TWC explained that this was often do to peek usage times, but I found the same inconsistency at all hours of the night and day. When I asked for a service technician to come and check out my cable lines he did so to my satisfaction, but after running a speed test explained to me that the upload/download speeds I was paying for were maximums and that I would rarely be reaching those speeds. The speeds were FAR below what I was paying for and expected. When calling TWC customer service to discuss this they simply tried to sell me additional services.
When finding out that Verizon Fios service was available in my area, I immediately decided to switch to Fios and called TWC customer service for information on cancelling my service immediately. I called TWC and followed the automated prompts eventually ending up on hold waiting to talk to a customer retention person. I waited over 30 minutes before finally deciding to hang up and call again. This time I just asked to speak to a customer service person and was immediately connected. I'm quite sure forcing the customer to wait extended amounts of time to terminate services is completely planned. Frustrated customers will hang up and the service will continue.
The cable monopoly that TWC has seems to me to have reached a point where they do not feel the need to offer quality services or customer relations.Desired Settlement: I've been unhappy with their services for years, but want a refund of 6 months as a symbol of good faith and a desire to retain customer relationships.
Business
Response:
TWC regrets customer's dissatisfaction. Our records indicate customer has returned their equipment and a credit of $3.73 was issued to reduce the closing balance to zero. TWC cannot honor the customer's request for 6 months credit ($365.88) as there is record of only one repair call.

Review: I recently discovered a $5.99 modem leasing fee on my bill, despite the fact that we never have had a modem from this company, and had our own from day 1 of moving in. My roommate (who's name is actually on the bill but no longer lives here) and I always just paid the bill, never noticing that we were being charged incorrectly. We moved in April 2011, so we have been charged incorrectly for over two and half years. I called today to have them credit my account for the roughly $209 that was billed incorrectly. When I called they said they could only issue a refund for the past 6 months because "their system didn't allow them to go back further." As that is the worst excuse I have ever heard to not refund a mistake on their end (since I think I even have the paper bills going that far back), I asked to speak to a [redacted] who said the same thing, and I then asked to speak to someone else who could review the past bills (as I can guarantee they have ALL of their records of all of their clients). She was able to talk to someone in the credits department and credit me some random amount (like $107). She then preceded to tell me it was my fault for not calling specifically to tell the company that we had our own modem and shouldn't be charged. Sure, it would have been nice if we could have caught this error sooner. But I should not be blamed or charged for not catching this company's mistake. I am a small business owner myself and know that if I make a mistake, I fix it, and thank my customer for showing me the error, not treat them like it is their fault for not catching it earlier.Desired Settlement: I would like to be credited the full amount of what I was charged incorrectly for ($209.65 plus tax). From April 2011-March 2013 for the $5.99 modem leasing fee.
Business
Response:
Based on the customer's complaint, they are disputing the following amounts: April, 2011 to April, 2012, $47.40, April, 2012 to April, 2013, $47.40, April, 2013 to March, 2014 $65.89, toal amount: $160.69. In order to verify the customer has been using a non TWC modem TWC requests customer provide copy of receipt for their modem. This will aid in the research of this matter.

[Your Answer Here]
I do not have the receipt as it has been over 4 years that I have had this router, and I only keep them for 3 years at the most, particularly since they fade beyond about a year anyway. I have attached two photos of the router. I am not sure what brand you use, but the one I own is a motorola, and has no TWC marks as you can see.

Response:
It should be noted that TWC’s billing policies clearly state customers are given a window of 30 days to raise a billing dispute. In essence, TWC requests notification of any errors upon receipt of the first billing statement which documents the error. In this way the issuance of credit will not become a major dispute. Any credits issued beyond the 30 day window are done as gestures of goodwill (or settlements).
A review of the customer’s billing statements, which are attached, indicate that they were not billed a modem fee until November, 2012. Between May, 2011 and November 2012, they were not billed a modem fee. As a result they are not due credit between May, 2011 and November, 2012 and this time period is not under consideration. Credit will not be issued.
Between November, 2012 and August, 2013 fees totaling $39.50 ($3.95 X 10) were incurred for the now-disputed modem fee.
From August, 2013 to February, 2014 the customer was billed $5.99 per month for the modem fee. The billing was stopped as of February *, 2014 and a credit of $11.98 (2 months from 2/*/14 to 4/*/14) was applied. Three additional months credit (at $5.99 per month) were also applied (in goodwill). The three months would have offset fees for November, 2013. December, 2013 and January, 2014. This leaves September, 2013 and October, 2013, in dispute, for $11.98. The following amounts then, remain in dispute:
November, 2012 to August, 2013: $39.50
September/October 2013: $11.98
With the customer’s approval TWC will issue a final Goodwill credit of $51.48 to resolve the issue. Their approval is requested and the offer is open for thirty (30) days. This is TWC's final offer. We await the customer's decision.

Review: I called to ask about why my internet bill was raised and they explained it was the end of a promotion starting on my April bill. Now the May bill has been issued and I called to speak to a customer service agent to deal with getting a new promotion which is what I do every year. After speaking with several different representatives, I was told that I can renew my promotion price now and someone from billing can adjust it to be back dated to start the contract in April. When getting connected with customer service, they denied the transaction and even after explaining that I was told to agree to the promotion and speak to someone in billing later, the [redacted] refused my request. The [redacted] is [redacted] employee number [redacted] and he claimed his [redacted], [redacted], wasn't available to deal with my complaint. After explaining my distress from an hour of back and forth with several employees giving misinformation, he still refused to provide a credit and hence deems it fair to pay more money for April and May of the same quality internet I have had for the past year, even though my June bill will be deducted back to the previous rate.Desired Settlement: Time Warner should make it easier for their customers to have a the same rate promotional or not even if it means back dating.

Review: I called Time Warner Cable customer service department on 6/**/2014 to process a payment for service. Customer service rep, who spoke poor English and was unable to assist me or answer any questions. I was noticed by credit monitoring service on 6/**/2014 that TWC on 6/**/2014 performed a hard inquiry on my credit report. This was done in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The representative never received my authorization to do a pull on my credit. As a result this fraudulent act, my credit rating is being adversely affected. I called TWC customer service 3 times to speak with someone to have this IMMEDIATELY removed and on all occasions no one seemed to have any authority to assist me.Desired Settlement: I am requesting TWC immediately correct this fraudulent act by contacting Equifax and explaining to them that they have made an error.
Business
Response:
TWC has investigated the matter and based on our records and those of Equifax, there is no record of an inquiry placed by TWC.

Review: I moved from one apartment in Manhattan to another. I started a new Time Warner Cable service at my new home, closing my old service and returning my old service products (Cable Box and Modem).
I moved out of my old apartment on 6/**/14. starting service in my new apartment 5/**/13 because there was an overlap in the rental periods.
I received a bill from Tim Warner cable stating I owed more money for a service period on the old apartment after I had already moved out and for a third modem which they alleged I failed to return.
I lived in a 400 sq ft studio apartment, I only had one cable box and one modem, both of which I returned.
I first called Time Warner cable to dispute the charges in July of 2013. I received poor customer support in explaining what my charges were for and was told everytime taht they were being looked into and they would "follow-up with me" soon with a [redacted]. I then was sent to collections before ever being called back from someone telling me what had happened and giving me an opportunity to pay my legitimate charges before going to collections.
I then called Time Warner cable 7 times over a period of the next year, seeking to pay my actual charges if there were any. receiving some of the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Every time saying that I would be called or notified when the modem whereabouts was discovered. And then I was sent back to collections without a call ever coming back to me or a notice saying what the results of the research were.
All the while I am a time Warner cable customer at my new apartment. waiting for some resolution to whether or not the charges were real/bogus or my last apartment.
Then on 7/**/14 I got fed up b/c someone said collections would be really affecting my credit. I called back and spoke to someone at TWC who said they would have a [redacted] deal with this issue. I sat on hold for ~20 minutes. the person came back on saying [redacted]s were very busy, but that the [redacted] would call me back by the end of the day.
I never got a call from a [redacted] and the collections calls continued.
I called back today and started from the bottom telling some one I needed to speak with a [redacted], I was never told why no one had called me back. but the [redacted] took me through the charges and showed that my account was over charged due to canceling service and starting a new service. she was very helpful and told me that it was regrettable that no one had just done this 12 months ago. this [redacted] started the process of removing me from collections.
I feel that the worst customer service and poor system knowledge of the customer service representatives, along with lies that I would be contacted back, my situation would be looked into, etc... lead me to being targeted and harassed by collections for ~12 months. This has lowered my credit score and could end up costing me lots of money in the future when I apply for Mortgages or car loans.Desired Settlement: My desired outcome is that TWC contacts collections and removes this collection from ever happening. I was improperly targeted by collections when this situation could have been handled a year ago.
I want a notice from someone stating how poorly this was handled and assuring me that in the future I will be treated like the 10 year customer( in various states and places) that I am of TWC.
I want a notice assuring me that this issue will NOT affect my credit score in anyway.

Review: We signed up with Time warner business class Internet service on 3/2013 speeds 15 x 2. We were promised 24/7 tech support and no down time by the sales rep. Business class internet should never go down because that's the life line of any business. The phones, internet, medical devices all utilize internet. Unfortunately, for the past 18 months the service has gone down regularly at least twice a month. Every time we call technical support, there's a long wait time and excuses for why it doesn't work. In the mean time we are losing revenue and our patients are not getting appropriate services. Finally we reached a decision to cancel this unacceptable "business" internet service. The agent told us there's still 3 years on the contract. We cannot just pay a $175 cancellation fee. We would have to pay for the entire terms of the contract which is over $3,000 just to cancel the service. Upon further review I discovered a contract signature that was forged in 8/2014 that increased our contract length and payment amounts. The sales rep whose name is on the contract no longer works for the company.Desired Settlement: I want the service cancelled ASAP. I'm willing to pay the $175 contract cancellation fee.

Review: Several months ago I was visiting the Time Warner Cable Office in [redacted] to exchange equipment. The customer service rep solicited to me to upgrade to a triple play package...cable, Internet and telephone, from only cable and Internet. As part of her enticement she advised that I would receive a $100 gift card toward a Dell computer she explained the card would come after two billing cycles. When it did not come, I contacted Time Warner customer service who advised to check again in a few weeks. I called this past Thursday and the customer service rep issued a "ticket" to determine why I had not rec'd the gift card. Last night I rec'd a call stating that after investigation, the upgraded services I obtained after the sales pitch from the [redacted] customer service rep did not qualify. After protracted discussion with the individual who called, and after explaining the false presences, and that fact that either the first two reps lied to me or the current caller was lying, he was unmoving and stated that his rep must have misunderstood the offer. I explained that I was very clear with her to ensure there was no mistake and that my upgrade from my then current service level, would qualify. He insisted there was nothing he could do about it, despite an obvious fraud in the inducement. I then explained would file complaints with the NY attorney general (I did, last night) and with the Revdex.com alleging bait and switch. The rep refused to allow me to speak with his supervisor. As an aside, I am an attorney licensed to practice law in NY, so I am aware of the consumer fraud statutes.
In the remainder of the complaint I reference August * as the date I upgraded my service but I do not recall the exact date and it is likely another date during the summer2014. TWC would have my record, including the name of the rep who upgraded me and the manager who called me yesterday.Desired Settlement: I would like the $100 Dell gift card I was promised by the customer service rep in the [redacted] office. If that is not possible, I would accept a $100 credit on my next Time Warner cable invoice.

Customer was not eligible for the offer as there is no offer to go from a Double Play package to a Triple Play package, at this time.

[Your Answer Here]
The response simply states that there is no such offer at this time...but that is not the complaint as the customer service rep did in fact assure me that the offer was available at the time of my upgrade. There was an offer of a Dell computer which she explained I did not qualify for by moving from double to triple play. Instead, she said, I qualified for a $100 Dell gift certificate and that I had to wait two billing cycles for it to arrive. I called after one billing cycle and was told by another customer service rep to give it another month. Then, when I called after a second month, a "ticket" was opened to find out what happened. It was only then that a Time Warner rep called me to say I did not qualify for the $100 Dell certificate. Obviously they enticed me to upgrade by fraudulent inducement. Their answer is non-responsive.

Business
Response:
On 4/**/15, [redacted] was correctly advised of the monthly lease charge for the use of Time Warner Cable’s modem equipment. While at one time there was not a stand-alone charge for Time Warner Cable modem equipment, we have instituted this charge for our equipment, whether the customer has our Internet service or Earthlink service through Time Warner Cable. Note that just as Time Warner Cable internet customers may use their own modems, so may Earthlink customers. In this way, a customer will not have to pay a modem lease charge. In either case the modems must comply with our existing list of approved modems. This list can be found on our web site at [redacted]. It is also worth noting that Time Warner Cable supports its modem equipment, and will service this equipment, as well replace it to keep pace with advances in the technology. A customer who buys his or her own modem does not have these benefits.

Review: TWC NYC approached me at my home offering a free trial of cable and internet for 30 days. The internet never worked, and I returned the equipment on time at the TWC location and was given a "$0" balance receipt. A month later they sent a bill for $93.39. We called TWC and explained that we already returned and got a receipt for "$0" balance, they said ok yet continued to bill and sent to bill collector. TWC is fraudulently billing me for no reason. I would've picked their service if they didn't pull this billing falsely because I didn't rode with them. They are messing with my credit. They are wealthy enough without trying to bill me. We can't afford it, and they came to my door. Never order TWC everyone I know gets over billed with crazy charges.

I've called the collection office and they are disputing for us, TWC must retract the charge and remove from the collection company and once they do that I will retract this complaint. Immediately
Business
Response:
TWC has updated its records, $93.39 credit issued to reduce balance to zero. All records have been updated.
Review: We signed up for TWC Signature Home, under the guise that we would receive a $300 gift card from TWC back in August. The terms and conditions were never fully disclosed, and they are now telling us that we are ineligible for the gift card. I have communicated with them several times, and had been told by employees over the phone that we were in fact eligible, and that a new code would come to us in the mail, or via an email correspondence, since one had already been sent out. She directed me to ###-###-#### or [redacted] once we were in possession of said new code. The gentleman I spoke with today said that something was communicated to us that we never received letting us know that we were ineligible. It is very frustrating to hear that we will receive what we are owed by one employee, only to be told by another that we do not qualify.Desired Settlement: Our bill should be credited with the amount of the original gift card promise, $300, or a gift card should be mailed to our home.
Business
Response:
REGRETTABLY, THE CUSTOMER DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE $300 GIFT CARD AS THE ACCOUNT WAS NOT KEPT CURRENT DURING THE 90 DAY INTRODUCTORY PERIOD. AS THE ATTACHED STATEMENST CONFIRM, THE ACCOUNT WAS 30 DAYS PAST DUE, ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION.
Review: Connectivity issues with Internet service. TWC has sent out multiple crews, none of which have been informed about the existing problem, or shown up without appropriate equipment (ladders etc.) to handle call. They have missed several appointments, and their customer service line has attempted to "upsell" me during service calls. The situation has gone to tier 3 and to customer relations and still no resolution. They have already refunded 6 weeks of fees to me, but this is not the point. A Home office without a reliable connection is just a room with a computer in it.Desired Settlement: Service free of intermittent connectivity interruptions (which generally happens at least once a day).
Business
Response:
I APOLOGIZED FOR THE ONGOING DIFFICULTY, LOSS OF SERVICE (AND
MULTIPLE APPOINTMENTS). SERVICES ARE CURRENTLY WORKING. I

Review: We have had multiple issues with Time Warner Cable. Yesterday 05/**/2014 we lost one of our four phone lines. Our Line (#2) ###-###-#### was no longer able to be used which let to calling the company to have everything reset which is wasting valuable company time. Today 05/**/2014 I came into the office to find Line (#3) ###-###-#### was not working. This time we could not resolve by trouble shooting. We are constantly calling this company to resolve service issues and they are not resolved permanently. I do not have the time to trouble shoot everyday of the week. It disrupts our business.Desired Settlement: I want this months phone charges removed from our bill due to excessive complications which still are on going.

Review: On September **, I was contacted by [redacted]. I am an [redacted] for Time Warner Cable Business Class Service. I am reaching out to you in an effort to review the services you are using with your current provider. The goal is to be sure it is still meeting your needs, and present you with a custom package here at Time Warner Cable Business Class that brings more value to your business with the highest and latest technology. We offer internet speeds starting at 7Mbps x 768Kbps, which is 2-3 times faster than DSL, and go all the way up to 50Mbps x 5Mbps. Our Unlimited Nationwide phone lines include local and long distance, and features like Call Forward, Caller ID, Call Waiting and much more at no additional charge. You can keep your current phone numbers and use your own equipment so there is no huge overhead to switch, and the transition is seamless. We also offer In-state lines if nationwide calling isn't a need for the business. If you would like to discuss the best options for your business. I look forward to your call or Email. But I already have a signed contract for their services signed June *, 2012 and they refuse to honor it. I have contacted [redacted] their [redacted] with no results.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
TWC sent a very impressive text. Unfortunately it has nothing to do with this case. Never in the two years of this dispute has this text appeared, and it definitely was not part of any document signed with Co.Birth Activities Inc.
Time Warner was, or should have been aware, of the building's requirement when its sales representative contacted this firm. Time Warner went over the requirements with a fine tooth comb before management approved the installation and since then Time Warner has approached me 3 times by email and regular mail wanting me to sign the same contract for the same services.
Time Warner is simply trying to get out of its responsibility. It seems like the $150.00 installation fee is just a COME-ON, before the bait is switched and they try to get thousands of dollars out of small customers.
Having checked with the engineers of this building, installation could commence.
But that is not all. TWC keeps distracting the attention to the financial damage they caused me that continues to accrue, month after month, when they ruined my long-standing relation with [redacted] It is their action (which they never intended to act upon according to their own text above) of contacting [redacted] to let them know they WERE TAKING OVER THE SERVICE, that is costing me, and will continue to cost me, extra fees every month for as long as I stay with [redacted]
This is damage, above and beyond the simple abrogation of their contractual obligation to provide my firm the telephone service contracted for.
One Grand Central Place is a huge building. Once in, they could connect other customers to their service, but it seems like they are only interested in charging a higher installation fee to all potential customers after hooking them with the COME-ON of ONLY $150.00 installation fee.
As a final check, I contacted the Building Management, and was assured, that Time Warner is a regular supplier of telephone and cable service to the building along with [redacted] and [redacted].
In other words, Time Warner is simply, and completely MISREPRESENTING THE FACTS.

Review: Following issues:
1. recurring service issues both for tv and internet
I have tried to resolve the service issues and we've had 3 technicians try to fix the issues, but we are still having daily internet connectivity issues, and our tv also has daily service interruptions, glitches, channels being unavailable and setbox rebooting by itself and not working.
2. I had a conversation with the analyst/customer service who said I would be credited $124 on 5/** for the service issues and said it would be fine to just pay the remaining portion of the bill (the current bill - credit of $124)
3. credit has not been applied and is still in pending status, I continue to receive bills saying that I owe an additional $123, and even received a disconnect notice, and final payment demand and frequent automated telephone calls requesting payment.Desired Settlement: I would like credit for a minimum of 3 months for the continued service outages that have been occurring over the last 7 months. I would like the current services to be repaired in a timely manner [within a week]. I would like the automated telephone calls to stop and the billing to be updated, and a written letter stating that the billing issue has not been reported to the credit bureau; if it has been reported I would like the company to adjust the report with the credit reporting agency and clarify that the error was on their part and not an issue of non-payment or late payment.

Review: Being denied services for several days based on they claiming I have a pass due . I always pay my bill on the agreement on the third Wednesday of each month as per the agreement.Desired Settlement: I will pay them $20 additional on my calculated bill. I do not agree on paying in advanced for services I don't receive.

Response:
TWC regrets the customer's dissatisfaction with the policy, however, when an account is in past due status its is TWC policy to restrict access to Pay-Per-View. TWC requests customer keep account in current status to allow access to Pay Per View.
Review: This company has time and time again failed at fixing our constant billing and service issues. Time Warner Cable in this community is a monopoly. No other Internet service providers supply the area with cable or internet services. Time Warner Cable uses this to their advantage. Every month the bill is paid, but the service is cut off every 2 weeks. We call, and get a representative who knows nothing of the issue (with a monitor directly in front of their faces no doubt). We end up compromising based on our Internet needs, until two weeks later "off." They disconnect you without notice, then tell you that a technician must come to your home and reinstall the already installed equipment, when two weeks prior, sent a signal directly to the system (from the monitor directly in front of their faces). Time Warner Cable has been rated having 1 star service from other displeased customers. The slowest internet speed for the most money.Desired Settlement: If there is no other service provider in the area, I would like to stop paying $80 a month for what other companies charge $30-40 for.

On 12/**/14 and 12/**/14 [redacted] left messages, voice mail, home number. To date there has been no reply.
Review: While chatting with an agent, she offered me a package to increase the speed of my internet, but for the same price. she offered it in writing, on their chat site. she asked me to confirm if I wanted it, which I did. She had me hold while it was applied. Once applied, she transferred me to tech support to answer another question. I then checked back later that day, they said no change was applied to my account, that the offer she said in writing and said she applied was not valid, that she made a mistake in offering it, and that I would have to pay substantially more for the service. I told them they had to honor the quoted price, because that was their error. They transferred me several times, and said they would not honor their deal.Desired Settlement: I want them to honor the package they told me about in writing and said they were implementing.
