It all started June 26th, we had just moved into our home and were ready to set up our cable, Internet and phone services. The guy came out and installed everything and he went to connect the cable and everything shorted out. We had to have an electrician out to fix the problem he caused and everything except the cable box was working. So we took the box back to Cox that Saturday so July 1st? We switched to a new 'upgraded' cable box and tried installing it ourselves and it was still shorting our breakers. So we had a tech come out because when I called to tell Cox that I wanted to cancel my cable. The lady I talked to told me I had to have a senior tech out to determine it was unfixing. So we had a guy out July 14th he would connect them and it still shorted out things, so we asked to cancel and he said "Okay, well I'll notate on the account I was out and we couldn't get it to go so there will be no charge." That same day I went into a Cox store and returned all the cable equipment. I spoke to Doug and his manager I don't remember her name, but it was the Camel back Colonnade location off 19th St. And Camel back. I told them I wanted to cancel cable and get home security bundled in instead. So they told me that I can do that and I can either choose to pay $75 for deposit for equipment or I can sign a two year contract that allows them to waive the deposit and everything after tax would be $155 and change, I was like that's $45 less than I'm paying, ok, that sounds good. So I set up a service for the guy to come out and put in the security for July 28th. Then I get the 'agreement' from Cox and it says $72 when I was told it'd be like $40 for security by itself, this was July 20, 2017. I called Cox I talked to a lady she transferred me cold call (meaning she just patched me through) first off , I found this kind of rude because it shouldn't have taken a transfer to answer a simple question, secondly because I had to identify myself all over again and tell that person what was going on. The next person didn't know how to help me, so I get transferred again (cold call and this happens at least five more people). Mind you I'm at work and trying to get that resolved and answered . Finally, I get to another lady she sounds like she's from a different country because she's got an accent. She fixes the bill back to $157 and change; says that it was because the promotion fell off (as she is explaining this to me I get into trouble and am asked to take my call out side because at this point I've been on the phone for a little over 30 minutes and I didn't think it'd take that long to fix the problem). So I go outside and the lady goes hold on and comes back and says it looks like they are charging you extra for cancelling your cable and I ask her to tell me why and as she is I get cut off because I had to go outside. So I went to a place with good reception and called back cold call transferred 3 more times until Katie. She said she didn't see anything in the notes about being charged for the cancellation on the cable, but could connect me with someone who could look into it further, I tell her, I'm at work and don't have any more time to be wasting on Cox right now. (At this point I'd already been on the phone for a hour! Ridiculous) I go home, I call Cox yet again and again I'm transferred cold call even though I ask not to be, but am told they don't have the ability to stay on the line. I talk to Shannon, he was so nice and informative I felt bad for yelling at him. It wasn't his fault. He explains there is no contracts on home security. So I ask him what the emails I rec'vd from Cox where and he said I'm not sure, but don't sign them. And that what should have happened when I went to store is that I should have paid $75 for security equipment before they set up installation, etc. I told him, that they only mentioned it and that I was told if I did two years I didn't have to pay deposit. So he suggested to go back to store and talk to the manager and have them explain why they said I didn't have to pay it and would notate the account about everything I've said. So I get off the phone with him. He made me feel better, but I was still pretty agitated, so I talked with my brother (he has home life, but is switching to Scout security, because Cox was gouging him for every penny he had.) He told me about Scout security and I decided that I really don't want Cox security and at this point if they didn't have good Internet and there were more companies in AZ that offered the same type of Internet I would just cancel ALL of my services with Cox and go else where, but at this point I'm stuck. So I called and cancel. July 21, 2017 I went on line to pay my bill and guess what?! My bill is showing that I'm due $700 and change. You know who was livid and so very mad? If you guessed me, you'd be right. I called Cox and you know what happened I talked to a lady and she asked if she could tr read more
