US Coachways, Inc.

Once again I direct the consumer to the following provision and ask the Revdex.com to close this case.     “This company shall not be liable for items...

left on the vehicle or loss of time to due to mechanical failure, inclement weather, or road conditions (road repair, accidents) or other acts which U.S. Coachways, Inc. has no control.”

[Your Answer Here]
Yes, I agree that US Coachway stated a refund was issued. This was stated via email and on a telephone conversation with [redacted]. As I stated before, I have not signed any refund release form so until I see the funds in my account, I can not go on your (US Coachway) word alone. Also, as I also previously stated, I spoke to [redacted] on numerous occasions and he was the one who told me about the $100 cancellation fee. I have no emails from him besides a quote but I spoke to him on the phone on more than one occasion. You can ask him for your documentation but I'm sure memory may escape him. Maybe you record your calls.. That way you will have the proof. Can US Coachway send me a form to be signed by myself and them to solidify this refund? I don't trust that it was actually sent off and that this is being told to Revdex.com so that the case can be closed.
Concerning the final confirmation you posted, well it does state that, "client not confirmed charter details resolved". What exactly does that mean? That definitely does not look like a final confirmation to me. I paid a deposit of $1628.38 as stated per US Coachway's policy and logged on to the system to see why a second charge of $1799.56 had posted to my account. That prompted a call from me by which I was told it was a "glitch". So not sure what you were trying to point out with that "confirmation".
Lastly, I've read your terms and conditions. I'm actually still waiting on the polity proof that states the full balance will be charged almost 60 days prior to the trip date... Don't worry, I'll wait. This was done by US Coachways on January **, 2014. You can quote policy when it's convenient for you but when one of your employees tells a customer wrong information AND you (US Coachway) also go against company policy and blame it on a glitch is not fair at all. US Coachways has done nothing to accommodate! You are giving us a refund but thats not accommodating us, we deserve that. BUT to sit here and say you won't return ALL of our funds is ridiculous. You all knowingly made a mistake (the mistake of charging us two times) and are not taking responsibility is both unprofessional and my final recommendation is to NOT close this case.

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:

This statement is not accurate. We asked for outlets initially, the wifi was additional. We did not want it at no cost. We asked for a price with and without wifi which your company failed to produce. We were told to have a rider make their phone a hot spot, but we are not guaranteed service everywhere. Also, we refused to speak with you on the phone until a quote with and without wifi was provided. That is why we never had a conference call. The $250 is not vaild if you stated we had to pay to SEE a bus and then were charged 4x the amount we expected.

I see no signature on the attached document. When I click on the link, I am asked for a log in and ID.  I have NEVER argured the fact that we were asked into a meeting. What you have FAILED to mention, time and time again, is that we asked for a quote prior to getting on the phone with you. How can you discuss costs if we have NOTHING to reference?!?!!! STOP making your company look as if you did nothing wrong when you have scammed us! Your Revdex.com reviews speak for themselves. A majority, if not all of the comments are NEGATIVE! This is not a reputable company whatsoever. Not pleased with the results and excuses you have given thus far. Your response is unacceptable. Please recall the email conversations below as to why we refused the conference call:

Sir, what you have said is that you can not meet any of our wants (WiFi, outlets, newer buses), that you will match the price of a competitor, but won't honor your orginal quote, can't promise anything but a bus with TV's and a radio. And you are saying that we have to pay almost the same price as a bus company that can promise me wifi, outlets and other updated amenities.
Furthermore, we were able to veiw the buses AND get a quote BEFORE booking.
I have asked for (and not received) a quote with all fees, discounts and credits for a bus with and without WiFi, when can I expect that?
This process is tedious and cumbersome. If we can't get a hard quote, then why would we expect excellent service? Am I asking for something that can't be done? Please understand our questions, as we asked for these things in the past and are now going back and forth over a $250 cancellation fee because of unanswered questions. This is the reason why you were included Mr. L[redacted]. Please sir, assist us so that we can say yes and book or move forward with our dispute of the $250.

When will get the qoute that includes all discounts, credits and promotions for a bus with and without wifi? I'm not comfortable speaking without these numbers in hand. Please provide the quote and then we can talk.

NO WIFI OR OUTLET CHARGES INCLUDED. YOU DID NOT DELIVER WHAT WE ASKED FOR THEREFORE WE DID NOT MEET. WE KNOW THAT THESE ARE SPECIAL REQUESTS WHICH IS WHY WE ASKED. TO AVIOD BEING HIT WITH ADDITIONAL FEES!!!!

US Coachways has offered the consumer a 20% refund of $458.00 which is in line with the provisions of the agreement

I kindly ask the Revdex.com to adminstrivaely close this case as we have submitted out ifnal responce.

I have reviewed the consumers complaint and decline a full refund as this is an unrealistic request as services were utilized and rendered.
Our last offer to the consumer was $500.00 in which the consumer has not responded to this offer.

Revdex.com:
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:

The business holds their customers to a higher standard that they themselves are not willing to uphold.  Yes they have everything spelled out in their Terms and Conditions, but to cover themselves in the event that they do not deliver on their service.  I am glad that I backed out of a contract with them.  If they were not able to deliver after 1 day of signing the contract, how will they perform for the rest of the contracted period.  They should be more concerned for their customers than lining the pockets of their investors.

US Coachways has made every effort possible in good faith to settle the dispute with the consumer and has offered more money back that what we are contractually liable for per the provisions of the agreement; please see attached.
US Coachways urges the consumer to accept the $300.00 refund as this is our last and final offer. Should the consumer decline this offer from US Coachways the consumer will forfeit and previous offers made by US Coachways Inc and can choose to seek refund through litigation.

In order to make it crystal clear we would, once again, like to reply to US Coachways, Inc.’s (USCI) latest response of 9/**/14.    
The $951.30 fare REFUND (only due to the NY Attorney General’s involvement) USCI offer was and had to be ACCEPTED by us because we had NO LEGAL RECOURSE and they even gave us THE  9/**/14 (!) DATELINE to do so, BUT this acceptance by no means, meant we were SATISFIED with this outcome.   If we had taken legal action, it would have cost us an extra $500 arbitration fee and potential protracted expensive legal wrangling.  We recognize now that the obligatory USCI contract each customer has to sign to get USCI bus brokerage services (they subcontract to multiple other bus companies, and don’t appear to possess their own fleet) covers them for every potential occurrence possible plus additional fees.  Our losses were in excess of $11,500, as detailed in our complaint filed with the NY Attorney General’s and your office.  In response to their achievements and claims of “…transparency…”, “….grossing over 30 Million…”, and, “...the Official Charter Bus Company of [redacted]”, etc., the sources below paint a very different picture of this company:

 Every step of this contract and your business  practices are misleading. I wish have we have read the reviews prior to renting. Since apparently this company will not take responsibility, I will have to escalate this claim by requesting another investigation into this company to a possible class action thru the Attorney General and and every other consumer affair agencies as well as  responding back to the television stations investigative department.  We didn't receive what we requested period. Because of the crunch in time we had to be at our destination we had no choice but to use your unsafe bus, the one we never requested as a way for you to avoid being sued. You purposely mislead the consumer. Your company even tried to settle for a ridiculous low amount to settle this which proves wrong doing

It is a matter of opinion and not fact; the bus was able to successfully navigate through the streets with no issue.   US Coachways stands by its offer that it has previously submitted.

There is no way I am accepting anything other than my 100% refund in the amount of $900.34The bus that we booked never showed upI had a trip booked for that day in which my organization was taking students to visit Rutgers UniversityThe students, myself and my chaperones stood outside in the cold for more than 2 hours waiting on this bus that supposedly was in Harlem and making its way to Brooklyn to pick us upthe company claims that I gave them a Harlem address to pick us up at in which I did notbut even If I did I spoke to US Coachways that morning and anthony in dispatch assured us that the bus was in route to Brooklynand it NEVER SHOWED UP AND THEY CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD FOR THE FULL AMOUNT FOR  A BUS THAT NEVER SHOWED UP MEANING US COACHWAYS BASICALLY CHARGED ME $900.34 FOR A BUS/SERVICE THAT I NEVER USED BECAUSE IT NEVER ARRIVED AT OUR BROOKLYN LOCATIONOther issues that were caused due to US Coachway bus never showing up are:1. Because the students were dropped off by parents and in our care for the day we had to make alternate plans and take them to another event that cost me $600 for tickets along with approximately $112 in transporationI also want that back from US Coachways2. This has affected my organizations reputation amongst our financial supporters---We raised money for this trip by fundraising online as well as amongst family, friends and colleaguesFolks as well as we were awarded a small grant to cover costs for this trip and the NON PROFIT that awarded us the grant and the friends and family that donated money did so to support kids that were visiting a University they ddid not donate money to us so that we could just GIVE US COACHWAYS EXTRA MONEY IN THEIR BANK ACCOUNT!3. I am now in debt for the $900.34 plus the $600 plus the $172 (approximate cost) because of US Coachways negligence

 Where does the consumer get protection?  I'm sure every business has this clause somewhere in small print but when a consumer hires a company to perform a service they don't think at the last minute this company is not going to perform this service and then be forced to find another company on their own to do the job that the original company was supposed to do.  I think it is horrible business practice to not stand behind their service and take care of the consumer in an instance like this.  US Coachways was clearly at fault in not providing transportation for a wedding an hour before the ceremony was to begin!  They did not provide alternate transportation, left the customer's guests stranded, and then won't make good on reimbursing the customer the extra money it cost to replace there service with another company.  They need to be responsible to the consumer not their bottom line!
