Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: viasat isn't looking at the whole picture, I agree with the removal assistance but I need the dish removed as wellWhy, I won't give free advertising to the company that mistreated meNow none of that is in there welcome package or is signed for etc, it's business ethics, that are still being avoided in these negotiationsYour saying I'm liable for property while under contract, the min I leave I'm no longer liable for certain parts? How can I be liable for something viasat leaves on my property? By that logic if I were to take a bag of dirty diapers & drop them off in the Carlsbad office & say you can have its yours does that make you responsible or would you call the police to have me arrested for litteringYour dish is useless in my just replaced eve on my house1500$ for new wood & paint right before we moved in back in April I have to have it taken down & have the holes filledI just want you to come get itI'll get the holes filled & paintedYour tech can grab the modem as wellIf that's OK with you Now as for the etf I have no doubt in the legalese system you feel I'm responsible for the entire thing, the offer of half is nice but if I'm going to pay you for what I used in all fairness why would I or should I pay for the etf fee? If take any contract for say services A but are unaware of something like misinformed to the contrary of what you asked for your , your contract isn't what you under the impression that you were signing after you were told services contract A is what you needBut the details of A were not none till AFTER you verbally agreed, THEN digitally agreedBasically I was told by a viasat rep that gaming was OKHe never recanted(( YOU, WHO READS THIS, DID YOU LISTEN TO THE RECORDING BETWEEN REP AND MYSELF?)) I've asked that a few times but haven't heard YOU answerViasat is responsible for his mistake, just like viasat is responsible for ***s & ***s, the manager & employee in retention department [redacted] was proven to be a liar about my email, how can you expect me to hold anything your company says as honest when one supervisor says another was lying to me? ((( I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCEPT ANY CONCESSIONS UNTIL ***S & ***S BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN PROPERLY ADDRESSED )))You want me to adjust & accept your offer but you won't comment, or accept responsibility for employees who are the worst example of how to treat a customer, ironic there in retention department I'm assuming that is under the form of threat of etf No employee should lie to customers, suggest they use a ladder to get up on the roof to retrieve viasats property, CAN YOU SAY LIABILITY LAW SUIT! Oh then tell customers that viasat isn't liable for any getting down there propertyI'm sorry cox never asked me to climb a pole, why oh liabilityThe cursing in the background of the retention officeOne is forgot to mention the customer service number I was given when I originally ordered was incorrect because I ordered through a wholesale apparently, now I don't know if that has an effect on this or notBut from a customer point of view, this is one of the worst experiences I've ever hadAsk to climb a ladder , inform the person I'm disabled in a wheelchair & without skipping a beat the person asks me to send my child up the ladderARE SERIOUSLY KIDDING ME ABOUT THIS? WHY HAVE YOU NOT ADDRESSED THIS? WHY ARE NOT WEARING YOURSELF OUT APOLOGIZING? THIS IS SO UNBELIEVABLE THAT A COMPANY WOULD SUGGEST THISAND TO FIND OUT ITS A COMMON PRACTICEALL YOU WANT IS YOUR PRODUCTS & THE MONEYI WANT YOU TO SHOW THAT YOU ACTUALLY GIVE A [redacted] ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERSTruthfully I don't want to give viasat a dime for anything since I have been lied to more than once, the other was I supposedly used gigs of data in ten daysIf I was slowed at 30, down to 3-5mb how could I have used that much? We're is the proofOf course only [redacted] could see itBut later I was told it was only gigYou want from me, but I've wronged by viasat on so many levels & your not giving up on muchAnd I know anyone in my situation would be just as upset & feel that they should be compensated for the mistreatment & the misinformation from the customer service representative Including the lies from the so called retention department I'm going to ask you the reader to listen to all the audio of my callsIf you do I think you'll understand my position far better & see more of what I'm trying to explain If you do, you can put down a few items that will prove you listened to themFrom this point, I'll be posting on social media, yelp & etc & any other I can find should this continue to go strictly business & money oriented without customers in mind Sincerely, [redacted]

Some of the response from Viasat has been fabricated and I am shocked The first payment of $125.xx was charged to my account within the week of installation - which I was not told would happenI called and had it refunded and was given a free monthAlso, I never signed a contract with the companyThe first customer service rep who told me I did, informed me that I did so online, which was a bald-faced lie, as prior to my connecting with this service, I had no internet accessI was then informed by another that I had signed it upon installation, which also was untrue, as the installer never had me sign anything I was charged $September 24th, should have been halfI was charged $Oct 24th, which was correctI was charged $again Nov 24thSo twice I was charged an extra $that supposedly was turned into a credit on my accountIf I had a $credit from September, it should have been applied to Oct, basically rendering a "free" monthBut that's not the caseIt was kept, I was charged 50% and then charged a full month with a fake $credit again Since I filed my complaint, I have received ONE $credit, instead of the THREE that is owed to me, and ONE $credit, instead of the TWO $owed to me The "$160" in credits is an erroneous statement, as I was told I had TWO $creditsThese credits, as far as I'm concerned do not exist, or they would have been applied to my billThat $is what is owed to me, and needs to be returned to the bank account it was taken from Again, I want all the money that was taken from my bank account and "credited" to my account BACK where it was taken from; MY BANK ACCOUNTThese credits, need to be returned to my bank account And since there was no contract signed, releasing me from the contract should be no problemI want NOTHING to do with Viasat ever againI don't want their equipment on my house, I don't want my money going to themI want OUTI have not had a single pleasurable experience with the service and least of all the "customer service"Please, for the love of all that is good, let me out of the contract that does not exist and DO NOT charge me ETFs! Why would you force someone to be miserable with your lackluster services? I've had nothing but problems from the start!
