1. ROGERS CAN BITE ME
Rogers has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I have been a Rogers customer for over 10 years. Didn't always pay my bills on time, but always paid - including their obscene reconnect charges. Have 2 lines one that is 3 years past contract and hadn't gotten a new phone for over 5 years. Tried to cancel the line not on contract. It took 6 calls to cancel!!! Every time I tried to cancel they gave me a different excuse why they couldn't cancel. Finally on the 6th call I got a Manager who cancelled my line but refused to cancel the billing for the phone since I needed to provided 30 days notice and she couldn't find any record of my previous calls. So I requested copies of all the notes on my file for the last year. Oh they can't do that - I need to make my request in writing - which I will. They pissed me off so bad, I cancelled the "extra" services I had on the other line. Only the student plan fee will they get from me now and the minute the plan can be cancelled it will be. I have 2 lines with Wind for less than the price of the one I cancelled with Rogers. I have had no issues with service and even found their customer service helpful. I don't care if their service area isn't as large it works for me and I will take minor inconveniences from them as Rogers might as well have spit in my face!!! Their employees have lied to my face, repeatedly and on purpose. You can call get a rude CSR then hang up and call back and get a different answer. Rogers are THIEVES and I will NEVER recommend them and NEVER use them again. Even Bell Canada has better customer service and if you have ever dealt with Bell will know they don't set the bar very high!! I can't wait until I NEVER have to speak with Rogers ever again!!!!
2. I completely agree with you
I completely agree with you and now rogers is making thier technical support people try to sell something to a customer that calls in for help I for one want help with my problem when I call for technical support not some agent trying to sell me something because thier job depends on itthey really need to look a little harder into what technical support is
3. Same old, same old, most irritating private company in planet
I have only seen a behaviour like only on government in southamerica, but still it was better.
Rogers is by far the most irritating company you can deal with that I have dealt in my whole life and I am 47 and I live in 4 countries. Describing my disadventures will be too boring. But, let say, jsut today, after various month of bills over 400 due to overusage... I decided to start monitoring my account closely. Ok, great. Today is the 6th. My billing cycle start on the 4th. So, today, I have 29 days left. But, both my 400 minutes of voice and my 1GB of data are 100% gone!!!!
impossible, absolutelly impossible.
I called rogers and the person on the phone told me "do not worry, the system 'correct itself" :(. Yeah... when I pay 200%... that is wehn it correect itself.
So, I told the person, cna you write this down?.. that this will correct itself?.
They say 'no'.
So, I have to 'trust'. Great.
I think the reason for all this bad behaviour is proteccionism.
4. whoa!
I have been with rogers for many years, i ordered a rocket stick in 2011 online which never showed up, as they did not ship it. talking to them on the phone they seemed confused. went into the local rogers dealer to pick one up. from day one the device never worked anywhere near advertized. i put a dispute into rogers to have the contract reversed and all charges credited to my account. that made them cut off my cellphone and magically hundreds of dollars in log distance charges to numbers of people i don't know appeared on my bill and they refuse to even aknowlage that a problem exists. and refuse to even talk about the charges. I plan to bring charges to rogers for breach of contract for two devices.
congrats rogers you just lost a loyal customer of 25 years.
way to go!!
5. fuck rogers
fuck rogers
6. I would never deal with
I would never deal with Rogers even if they would offer one million dollars for free, any one out there who has a contract with them beware! Rogers will gaff you like a fish and will fleece you like a sheep, if you have not discovered this, you will.
7. Rogers - Bill
Do you people know that Rogers Charge you long distance fee even if you answer a long distance call. So here is the situation I am sitting at home(Mississauga, Ontario) watching TV and my friend who is in Hamilton decided to call me. He is calling long distance and paid for the call(fair enough) I am sitting at my house and answer the call and rogers is charging me air time (fair enough) now when i get my bill roger also charged me .30/min for long distance as I answered the call (NOT FAIR)- ROGERS ROBBED ME OF $3.5+ AIR TIME and if my friend was also with rogers he paid the same WOW. In rest of the world incoming is free and our government DON'T CARE
8. Tired of been bullied
My complaint concern Rogers company, since October 6, 2011. They blocked my cell phone, all my movies (TMN channels), because they allege that I have two old accounts a total of over 4000 dollars that I owe. I tried several time to contact them to discuss, but they refuse to explained to me how that happen, since I have my account with Rogers over 10 years now, I always pay my bills each month, and now since October 6, I am paying for service that I do not have. I request to talk to supervisor, and the agents refuse, I requested for them to send me all the information regarding those accounts, information such as who open the accounts, when they open the account, what the identity they use to open the accounts, the phone number of the cell phone or others relates to those account, the way they used to pay the account etc. They refuse to send me any information.
9. ROGER SUCKS
Rogers offered a credit, and put an expiry date without my noticeable!!!
10. I give up
finally after 2 years of putting up with Rogers I switched, wind for wireless an Bell for internet, gotta hate rogers, they try every way to get u trapped in their stupid contracts, my advise dont ever go to Rogers for any reasons,
11. Travel Packs
So Rogers use to have Travel packs which were great to use when traveling. Now they weekly or daily roaming passes which are ripoff since price is same for weekly ones as use to be for month ones. I travel a lot and quite the plans. Rogers still made their money off me. Forget that for a moment, trying to add the new passes is nightmare. If you try to add them to your device it won't work. Then you will call customer service and 5th person down they will they can't help. They will tell you it can only be added from your device, why have a customer service department if they can't help. I feel bad for those employees. I can see why the Egyptian guy is pissed off. This country sucks for competition for wireless carriers. I hate Rogers and when i come back from travel I will be going to anybody but Rogers. Just so pissed off at them. Been with Rogers for 9 years. Average bill around $500/month. They can kiss my account good bye.
12. so i wish i would have seen
so i wish i would have seen this two months ago ...i was in the mayo clinic for 1 and a half months called rogers befor i left and told them what was happening and what i should do she said not to worry she would put me on a 300 paln so i could have unlimitted everything ...and i did then i got my bill 5000 i almost shit myself i called and asked what the hell was up and they told me romeing is what coast me 4650.00 i told them when i called the lady told me my bill would be 300 and they said read you contract i just wanna cry !!!!!
13. 5000.00 really?!
so i wish i would have seen this two months ago ...i was in the mayo clinic for 1 and a half months called rogers befor i left and told them what was happening and what i should do she said not to worry she would put me on a 300 paln so i could have unlimitted everything ...and i did then i got my bill 5000 i almost shit myself i called and asked what the hell was up and they told me romeing is what coast me 4650.00 i told them when i called the lady told me my bill would be 300 and they said read you contract i just wanna cry !!!!!u would think she would mention this not just say she could help me and i wouldnt be paying more then 300
14. Renewal
When my husband's phone of 5 years died , he went to Rogers paid $35.00 and got a new phone. Three months later we found out we had signed up for three more years. When I called to complain I was told it was automatic renewal and left on hold forever to talk to a supervisor. This I did three times. We hardly use the two phones have no add ons at all and pay $51.00 a month. My daughter has an I-phone from another company with all the gadgets and pays $60.00 a month. I can not go to one phone or change to any other service without a huge pay out. They only want more money not what you want and are not interested in anything remotely close to customer service. I have complained on their "HELP" line and never heard from anyone. If I could get out of the contract I did not know was renewedl I would. Any ideas? Denise
15. Rogers SUCKS
Finished my contract. Call and ask to switch to pay as you go and they can't even do it right. They switched it to data Rocket plan. I DO NOT need a freaking data plan. I just need a voice plan. Call them and had to wait to more than an hour listening to its annoying spams. As soon as there is another service provider that I can get signal outside major cities, then it will be bye bye rotten Rogers.
For all of you who will not travel outside city, stay very very far away from Rogers.
16. Scamming assholes! My
Scamming assholes! My "amazing corporate" plan states following (copied from my account plant details page):
My Plan
Corp Value 200 Unltd Eve&Wknd
200 Weekday Minutes
Unlimited Eve & Wknd Minutes
6pm Early Evening Calling
Included with My Plan
Call Forward/Trans.Pay Per Use
Text Messaging
Detailed Billing
-------------
(this is apparently a better plan from what I had before --- sub-par, low tech (compared to the rest of the world) overpriced $80 something plan that was shit itself too)
so once again:
Included with My Plan
Text Messaging
--------------
Misrepresenting, lying, scamming lowlife dirt bags have been charging me meanwhile for every single incoming and outgoing text message for few months now resulting in additional $100's in "text overages" - costing me twice as much as my old plan.
Tried few times to complain but apparently on their end it shows NO text messages, and Pay Per Use text messages instead. I have no time or nerves or patience left to deal with shit. Just like other thousands of people I am sure...
Fucking pieces of shit. No word in the English language can explain how low and dirty and simply shit this company is. I have been for some fucked up reason with this shit company since 2001 and ten years later I am still being fucked over for something. If it's not text messages, it's the minutes, if not that it's the hidden fees, if not that it's the "accidental billing errors", and so on and so on.
What really frustrates me even more is how our pussy ass liberal weak government is allowing this monopoly and bully of a company to go on and fuck the masses of people over year after year and do absolutely nothing (!) about any of this! This is illegal, immoral, unethical and unfair that a shit company such as rogers can get away (has been for so long and probably will for ever) with their dirty scams and techniques and get away with it!!
I am still waiting for the day a class action lawsuit gets launched with millions of people backing it up and rogers gets to feel some of the heat (and hopefully goes bankrupt and crashes and burns hard!)
FUCK ROGERS AND EVERYONE THAT WORKS/SUPPORTS IT! FUCKING CRIMINALS!
17. Rogers are crooks
They offed us an employee purchase plan which took them 6 months to implement the discount only to advise us that the plans we all signed up for were not valid with the discount which is why many of us had signed up with them to begin with. Not only was this after the 14 day return period but they informed us that if we wanted a plan with the discount we would have to sign a new contract. They are thieves. Also I live on a border city and pick up border signals so I set my phone to home only and not only did I encounter nothing but dead zones all around the city but received outrageous roaming fees when I hadn't even left the supposed service area. Not only would they not explain why I had charges when my phone was set on home but my bills have not once since then been proper. Also Rogers doesn't send you notice of changes to their bills and hide their changes in fees under a click icon which says rogers bulletin board and is usually sales pitches so I rarely ever used to check them until I started to get fees for incoming texts. Rogers is the worst company and I will never recommend any of their services to my customers. Go with telus they are so much more accommodating. My friend was even let out of her 3 year contract after 2 years because she was moving to an area without service. Rogers is the worst stay away with their current customer service I hope they go out of business.
18. advice
Keep your own records of your conversations with Rogers, it's quite simple. Then you can refer back to them at later dates.
I have never had a problem with them trying to keep my business, you just need to talk to the right departments, and they always try to keep me happy.
They are definitely disorganized at times, and sometimes random charges are made, but as long as you know exactly what your plan entails, by asking questions and being organized, they are usually quite helpful, as long as you remain calm and collected.
One great tip is, before you even begin a conversation with a representative, ask for the INTERACTION ID #, and the rep's name. I was told by a salesman that this request with make two things happen: the conversation will begin being recorded, if it's not already, and the salesman will be aware that they are on the line for their interaction with you.
When you change your plan to a better one (which you should do once a year at least to make sure you're getting the best deals) make sure you ask them if that action will renew a contract. I've made changes to my pan before, and then learned later that they renewed my contract for another 2 years without saying anything, and all I did was politely explain that I wasn't told this would happen, and that I didn't want them to, and they fixed it without complaint.
Above all, remember that the people you talk to aren't Rogers company owners, and it's not necessarily their fault that you've been ripped off or made angry. I'm always careful to say things like "they" when referring to Rogers, not "you", so that the rep doesn't feel attacked. And if someone is rude to you, hang up and call later and try and find someone better!
19. Rogers charge me $800 just for leaving their contract
I have been with Rogers for 9 years. Recently I feed up with their service and transferred my phone number to another carrier. I had a family plan which was ending in 2012. They charged me exactly the same monthly payment upfront up to rest of contract regardless of I am using their service or not. This is outrages and unfair. I had payment approval for my billing through credit card. They even charged the penalties to my credit card without getting permission from me. I am going to do whatever it take to get my money back.
20. 8 months of overbilling and lies
We have had 5 phones with Rogers for many years.
Rogers has overbilled us every month since last December. Overchargin has have been as high as $200 overbilling. Every month we spend time on the phone explaining, getting the charges reversed, and being promised it won't happen again.
One month ago I talked to a higher level complaint rep. He "guaranteed" it would not happen again, however there was no guarantee beyond his word. I told him I was leaving unless there was a concrete guarantee. He promised that he would put a note on my account that if we were overbilled one more time we would get a $250 credit. He would send me an email and hardcopy letter to confirm the guarantee.
Not surprisingly this was yet another Rogers lie. Nothing appeared. My wife has not been able to bring herself to fight with them any longer, and has not payed the last bill. Their credit dept is now hassling us and threatening to cut off our phones. Yes, we're leaving Rogers.
21. The manager hung up on me!
My mom, my aunt and I all have the exact same plans at the exact same price. They both have call display while I do not. When I called to rectify this (about 20 minutes ago), the manager I spoke to refused to help me and hung up on me when I told him I was displeased with his lack of service! I was never abusive, did not use any foul language at all and simply stated my case very clearly.
22. frustrated
Rogers never mention that just by taking my phone to mexico (phone was off ) I was going to be charge $51.00 initial data roaming and $13.32 when the plane stop for 20 min on the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what the heck
23. Switched my wireless phone
Switched my wireless phone plan to a IPad data plan, was told to go into the Fairview Mall Rogers store to pick up a sim card and everything will be ready to go in a few minutes. Free of charge. Went to the store and was told I've to pay $10 for Sim card, don't know about much because they're independent dealer. So I've to call Rogers the 3rd time to have the business relation consultant on the phone to speak to the Roger's rep. When I was told my plan could be activated right away, but then I found out I couldn't access the 3G network due to an error msg kept popping up on my iPad, then I was again transferred to the hardware support department because there's a block on my account. I was on the phone with Rogers for more than an hr already since the wait time was horrible too.
Then the technician said can't program my data plan because the $15 plan won't work on my iPad, then I was getting really pissed and frustrated and told him 3 different Reps offered me the same $15 plan which also ensure it's gonna work, I asked him to let me talk to the Manager.
After ANOTHER 40 min on hold, finally spoke to a Manager Christie and explained THEIR ERROR again. She said there's no much we can do because this is the price plan policy, the only solution she can offer is to upgrade the plan to $20 or cancel my data plan service. At this point, I was literally started to get really mad and told her I ONLY want to pay $15 as I previously agreed upon, if this is your error in offering, you should still find ways to fulfill the offer instead of forcing me with no choice. Then she said, "this is the price plan policy, there's nothing I can do, sometimes we just can't fulfill every customer's request. Stop being UNREASONABLE!" I was totally furious at that point when I heard her saying I'm unreasonable for their mistakes, I said I wanted to talk to her manager, but obviously she said no other manager is available and then finally just gave me a $5 discount on the difference for 3 months to keep my mouth shut because she knows I need the data plan tonight. I've no choice but to accept it, BUT I hate Rogers service so much and I'll cancel my service with Rogers as soon as the contract ends!
I hope people will just stop using Rogers if possible!!!!
24. Rogers Cell- Overcharges due to systematic programming error!
I have spent several hours on phone with Rogers to correct a billing error which resulted from changing the number for my son's cell phone as my he goes to university in another city. It happens every time I change the number so it appears to be a systematic error. While Rogers claims that there is no charge for changing the number, the basic cell phone service was higher in September than any other month. I asked to talk to the manager's supervisor: she refused. I pay over $300 a month/$3,600 a year in various Rogers services; she still refused to provide any assistance. Rogers doesn't really care about these overcharges as it is just more money for them.
25. I agree with you. This is the END with ROGERS WIRELESS for me !
I agree with you. This is the END with ROGERS WIRELESS for me !
26. IS their any better providers out their
This is what happen to me and what i wrote..
hi, i am having problems with your services. i just cancelled my cable and internet with you guys because i got fed-up with you guys ALWAYS MESSING up my cell services. I had a feture that allowed me to make free call past 6pm and that services was taken away from me and i had to pay the extra charges that i got billed. i was told that i never had a plan that gave me from 6pm, but i know i had it because thats one of the reasons that i re-singed. i called the rogers line and i was transfered to a manager and she told me that i HAD to pay more money if i wanted to get my 6pm back. and she was not willing to give it back and i found out because i moved my cell contract got renewed for another 3 yrs. so i cancelled my internet and cable with you guys and the manager that i spoke to was more than WILLING TO LOSE ME AS A COSTUMER. She cancelled my services with out hesitation. i never wanted any special deals i just wanted what i had when i resined my cell but all of that got taken away with no reason. every-time i call i keep getting transfered to different employees. i just want to know why your employees treat paying customers like their business mean nothing to ROGERS. i now go with out cable because of the POOR service that ROGERS provides....i want to know why you guys keep messing up with my contract and services.....
27. Worst Company with low ethics
Have Been with Rogers from 2003 - April 2011. I renewed my contract once one 2006, and never again.
Rogers business model, is a bit sneaky. They offer you a phone for a cheap price or free, but in the long run they make a lot of money from this phone, when you sign a contract. It's way better to purchase a cell phone, then if you want to go with rogers (I don't see why), you can go a head without a contract. Once you are on a contract, they abuse your money. So watch out !
Rogers bought Fido to close down their offer for unlimited calling. That plan was called CityFido and was available in big cities for around $65, where you can place and receive calls for unlimited time. This plan allowed Fido to grow slowly but constantly. Roger's didn't like that, and instead of trying to compete and provide a better plan, they bought the company and canceled this plan.
Very bad company with no ethics at all. After I moved to Ottawa, I switched to Wind and never looked back.. Very clean and clear model with no bills. I pay before I talk, a flat rate with unlimited calls in/out.
By the way, for close to a decade Roger's charged it's customers an amount of $6.95 monthly for what they call System access fees, and when asked by their customers, they used to claim this money goes to the government for maintaining the towers. When a serious action was taken against them for this false claim, they stopped this claim but kept the charges. When they started loosing customers, they canceled the charges, and did a marketing campaign around this, that they will give discount with new plans where no connections fees.
Imagine how much money made from this $6.95 over a decade from all these customers, with this little scam.
28. FUCK YOU ROGERS !!! I paid an
FUCK YOU ROGERS !!! I paid an $1,100 Bill to have them suspend my account the next day and they refuse to activate my account until they receive the payment.. Worst thing is I paid the account BEFORE THEY CUT THEM OFF!!! .. OH FUCK YOU ROGERS !! I AM DONE WITH YOUR SHIT!! I HOPE THAT ROGERS GOES BANKRUPT and the whole lot of you loose!!!
(20 min later)
... AAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCKKK YOUUUU ROGERSSSS
I FUCKIN HATE YIOU!!!
29. International Text msg package scam!!!
Anyone who is thinking of taking any international txt msg packages from Rogers Wireless Canada, should stop !!!! The packages for International do not work at all and they do not credit anything back to you as one of their manager, Hillary from Escalation who says she is a manager and does not want to help and told me that it is at my risk to take any international text messaging packages as it Rogers offer but does not guarantee that it works and Rogers who offer does not inform the clients and customers of risk and only inform them when you called them to ask why. This is what happen to me and the manager was HILLARY who was repeating over & over as if i am stupid or a kid. Does not want to pass me to another dept nor manager, which i find this unaccepatable at all. Boycott Rogers if you can at all cost. Please do not try to take any of the international packages as you will be charge even if it works or not!!!! If you take it, you are at your own risk adn we do nto know if it works or not when you bare abroad in the words of the Roger Manager, Hillary!!!. It is a scam from rogers. Rogers Suck!!! F***** the manager who belittles clients or customer as if they are dumb --- HILLARY - Rogers Manager - Escalation /Dept.!!!
30. I cannot believe the behavior
I cannot believe the behavior of Rogers. They purchased Fido only to ruin the company. They do not give any good phones to rogers and to make things worst, they are creating a situation where people switch to Fido so they can some day close it down.
they are really great at business but all Canadians should move to another company and let rogers die in hell.
31. rogers wireless
I am a customer of Rogers cell company since 2003. During this time I may have had few late payments, however, I have always paid my bills ( otherwise I wouldn’t have a cell phone with them).
Rogers has the wrothest customer service in caring for their loyal clients. on January 17 2011 I received a massage on my cell that I am behind for my phone bill payment. At the time I check and I realized that I never received my Rogers phone bill for the month of December and therefore I have not pay. I made the payment on line on Jan 20th in 3 days after their 1st massage.. Now the problem is that after a message being left on my cell in Jan 17th, from Jan 17th –Jan 23rd, they have called me 16 times on my cell and 8-10 times on my house phone. I received one call on January 21st at 1:14 am when I was sleeping. On Saturday Jan 22nd I told the lady stop calling I have paid but I still received a call on Sunday when I told her I have already spoken to someone, she was so rude and still would not let me off the phone and I just hang up on her..
I would like to know who gives them the right to call after midnight re. a phone bill? Who gives them the right to harass civilians continuously? What are my legal rights as a consumer? Could I take legal actions for harassment? They call from these 2 numbers 1-800-300-4000 and 1-866-349-4596. When I searched I could not find the subscriber, however, people from these 2 numbers told me they are calling from Rogers. I am very angry and upset with this situation.
32. rogers
I was a customer of Rogers too. Key word is WAS! i always paid my bills, and one day i received a bill which looked oddly wrong. I was double billed for one month!! i called them up and they said it was a mistake and i told them it was pathetic to do it in the first place. I too was stalked, kept getting phone calls at all hrs of the day, many times a day. And in that same month my cell had puttered out, and was bad. I had gotten a lemon for a cell phone that didnt hold any charge for more then a day. I told them i had poor service, poor phone, poor EVERYTHING and i was going to cancel my account and phone, and everything. so i did.
33. These numbers are not Rogers
These numbers are not Rogers #..so you need to look into who is harassing you!! For sure...
34. I disagree with you,,,, ANONYMOUS

36. Rogers Cancellation Charges
Well after reading the entire year of frustration against Rogers Customer Service and their false advertisement. I would like to share my newly started love for Rogers as well. After being Rogers customer for 15 years for their all 4 services (cable, internet, home phone and wireless) I decided to divorced them for their false advertisement.
Recently, I upgraded my phone from Blackberry Bold to Torch and enjoyed it for three months until it fell on the road and Just like their advertisement a car ran over it. I called Rogers and told them about the accident...they showed their sympathy and offered me a replacement phone. The rep started reading me about different cheap phones. I asked her about a replacement Torch...just like the TV commercial. She said, unfortunately they don't cover Torch or iPhone!!!!
I told her that then you have a false advertisement and I will cancel the services. They thought I am just saying that to get a new phone, so they didn't do anything. Anyhow, I called BELL and asked them for Torch and Samsung Galaxy S with 3 years plan. Bell offered me both phones for free with better package than Rogers plus lot of goodies. Nehow, I called Rogers back and told them I am calling one last time as I have an offer from BELL but they just used their typical lines, "how sorry they are but they can't do anything" Now the fun begins...I asked them if they need notice time for canceling all the services. They said I need to give them 30 days notice for cable TV and Internet. Since there will be cancellation charges on wireless phones so no need of notice as BELL will inform them. So, I gave them my notice of 30 days and went to Bell and got two new phones. Today I received an email from Rogers with my online bill of $1270.00
I called them to understand the Bill and they told me that I was suppose to give them 30 days notice for Wireless as well. I asked them to play the recording of my conversation on Dec 19 when I called to cancel my services. I specifically asked them if I need to give any notice for Wireless and they said NO as I will be paying penalty for early cancellation. After 40 minutes of argument my line disconnected!!! I called back and this time they transfer me to cancellation department. This time a nicer agent understood my issue that I was charged for 30 days of services plus early cancellation charges...She waived 30 days of charges from both phone and brought my bill down to $1086.00 (approx $500 cancellation per phone).
Now here is another twist. After cancelling my Cable TV and Internet I called Rogers back and told them I have cancelled my services and going with BELL. Is there anything you can do to stop me from going to BELL. They offered me really good package for 2 years which will save $50/month. I took the offer and told BELL not to install their satellite just yet :) Then I told the Rogers agent that I will only be paying Cable TV and Internet Charges from the final Bill as I have no intention of paying wireless cancellation charges. She laughed and told me she totally understand. I asked her to keep my new account separate from old one which she gladly did. Now on my new Rogers Cable TV/Internet Account I have no outstanding amount but on my old account I owe Rogers approx. $1000.00 (after paying previous internet and cable bill).
I told Rogers that I have no intention to pay this Bill as I never sign any contract with Rogers. They said but you agreed on the Phone, I said then send me the copy of the conversation where I said I agreed to be Rogers Customer for 36 months. I know that pulling the recording will cost them more money then what I owe them...so that will never happen. Secondly, I am planning to dispute the charges once it goes for collection. I am not sure if many ppl know about that. You can dispute any charges on your credit report and ask them to take you to the court. 99.99% times they will not go to the court as court need documented evidence while entire business of telecom has no written contracts. 75% contracts are renewed over the phone, that's why they will do their best to keep you...
So, NEVER EVER PAY ANY PENALTY TO ROGERS OR BELL....READ YOUR CONTRACT CAREFULLY ONE MORE TIME.
About 9-10 years ago I called Rogers to cancel my contract and they told me I still have 18 months left in my 36 months of contract. I told them NO...I have paid out the entire contract as I signed a contract for 36 months to pay Rogers $40 a month (36 x 40 = $1440) and my past 18 months bills are over $3000.00 so there is no contract between Rogers and me. If you want to take me to the court then go ahead. They changed their tune and offered me all kind of discounts and of course Free Phones....
SO AGAIN, CHECK THE CONTRACT AND SEE HOW MUCH U HAVE PAID THEM AND MULTIPLE THAT BY NUMBER OF MONTHS. THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU AN IDEA IF YOU ARE AHEAD IN THE GAME OR NOT.
ALSO REMEMBER TO DISPUTE THE CHARGES AS SOON AS THEY APPEAR ON YOUR CREDIT. TANSCANADA AND Aquifax both has their procedures online. Simple procedure, it will take only 10 minutes and save you 6 years of bad credit. Just send them a FAX and they will put dispute on that transaction. The disputed transaction won't effect your credit ratings. I had once collection agency called me for $5K I owe to my commercial landlord. I told them to screw YOU and take me to the court. They put it on my credit which I disputed immediately. Case dragged in the courts for years and eventually I won the case without hiring a lawyer :)
Hope this post will help some very frustrating people
Good Luck!
37. Rogers scammed me
Rogers sucks. I will never use your services again..F#CK YOU!
38. Take 2 min to add a service and 30 days to cancel a service???!!
I don't understand why there is not a government body to protect us consumer on phone services. Why do we have to take all the unfair rules and conditions from Rogers. Is it fair to take your money within 2 minutes (add new service), but take 30 days to cancel a service even I called in a week before the next billing cycle? And why do we have to take all these nonsense after waiting in line, transferred line here and there for 30 minutes, and this kind of shitty answer?
When I signed up that time, the service agreement does not even say this clause "cancellation has to be done no less than 30 days", and I am not on contract term! And now they tell me to go look through on the monthly invoices again, and it was there! Isn't this called cheating? Why can't you lay this our when I signed up the service?!!!
If any kind soul out there know any government body that we can file such complaint, please email me! I cannot believe such a world-class country does not protect the vulnarable consumer. Even China has a strong Consumer Protection Agency that can protect the consumer should there is an unfair treatment!
I am very angry!
39. I agree, ther is no place to
I agree, ther is no place to complain about our rights as consumer.
read my I am a customer of Rogers cell company since 2003. During this time I may have had few late payments, however, I have always paid my bills ( otherwise I wouldn’t have a cell phone with them).
Rogers has the wrothest customer service in caring for their loyal clients. on January 17 2011 I received a massage on my cell that I am behind for my phone bill payment. At the time I check and I realized that I never received my Rogers phone bill for the month of December and therefore I have not pay. I made the payment on line on Jan 20th in 3 days after their 1st massage.. Now the problem is that after a message being left on my cell in Jan 17th, from Jan 17th –Jan 23rd, they have called me 16 times on my cell and 8-10 times on my house phone. I received one call on January 21st at 1:14 am when I was sleeping. On Saturday Jan 22nd I told the lady stop calling I have paid but I still received a call on Sunday when I told her I have already spoken to someone, she was so rude and still would not let me off the phone and I just hang up on her..
I would like to know who gives them the right to call after midnight re. a phone bill? Who gives them the right to harass civilians continuously? What are my legal rights as a consumer? Could I take legal actions for harassment? They call from these 2 numbers 1-800-300-4000 and 1-866-349-4596. When I searched I could not find the subscriber, however, people from these 2 numbers told me they are calling from Rogers. I am very angry and upset with this situation. What would you do on behalf of me as a consumer?
story:
40. Rogers Has the worst Customer services.
for the last 5 month every month at the billing day i have to call and ask them to fix the problem, and what mae me mad there is some employee there they dont know how to fix problems on her side. every month the ask foe couple of hundreds dollar extra. even the last month their bill was 1400$. i called them and complain, and here is the problem, THEY MADE IT MY MISTAKE AND THE SAID THERE IS NOTHING ON THE FILE PROVED THAT I CALL. SO I CANCELLED MY PHONE AND THEY SAID THEY WILL make me pay penalty, but they r not getting one penney from me.
41. FRADULANT , DECEITFUL ORGANIZATION
I called rogers to cancel my services, they offered me a lower price and a free phone and no need to sing a contract, when I went to get the new phone, they told me they dont have records of the previously made promises by ROgers, I called their customer service and the same department with the reference # I was given, I got no where, they fought vigorously to save themselves a few dollars, it was the nastiest experience ever with any comapany, and I look forward to cancelling everything with rogers very soon, people whom are reading this, please report them to numerous government agencies, take them to the court, make them aware they must abide by the laws, make them aware they dont have the MONOPOLY anymore
42. Unfortunately - it's less a
Unfortunately - it's less a show of bad company policies and more that you encounter a lazy or careless rep on the phone. If there is notation on the account, I've seen quite a few ridiculously good deals made.
It sucks there was no reprimand for the rep who lied over the phone - but that doesn't represent the company as a whole.
43. That's a bunch of B.S. !!!
That's a bunch of B.S. !!! Bad rep is one thing, Bad reps is another, and I use reps as a representation of all of them, and I will tell you why.
After going through several Rogers phone rep departments I finally reached what was described to me as the Retention Dept. In this Dept I spoke with a Rep that was FANTASTIC. she said everything I wanted to hear, Yes Sir, I will credit your Business account $70 per phone and give you a early phone update if you sign into a new 3 year term. She continued to tell me that you will now be able to pay the price of the promotion in store as well as a $35 activation fee. After going to the store they say I have to pay a $70 fee on top of the phone price and the $35 activation fee. I called back to the Retention Dept. and explained that I was not told that I would have to pay any such $70 fee. The new Rep "Joanna" <- Real piece of work she was - tells me it is clearly documented on the file that she told me about the fee. I went on to explain " I don't care what the computer says, check the recording on the phone call and you will clearly here what she told me". Joanna say's I know her personally and that she would never say such a thing, so it is not necessary for her to check the recording of the call. I asked to speak to her supervisor. She says she is the supervisor and there is nothing more that she will do for me. I asked to speak her superior and she tells me that she will not be escalating this call, and she can do nothing else for me. I explain that my business account has spent $10,000 over the past year with Rogers and is on track to spend an additional $30+ thousand over the next 3 years. I further explain that I only want what was offered to me on the phone by her colleague that was recorded. She tells me that she is done with bickering and that she has done all that she can do. I said you have done nothing for me, therefore I guess you can do nothing. I said I am not happy nor satisfied with her answer, and that if something is not done I will be forced to close my business account. She tells me that I will have to pay a penalty to do so. I asked how much. she says $323 per phone. I have 3 phones on that account so roughly $1000 to buy out of the contract. I explain to her I will be happy to do so if she is not able to honor the deal that was offered to me. Her response quoted " I would be HAPPY to close your business account if that is what you would like to do sir" . My response, "Now I know you are not the end of the line or the supervisor because neither of those people would be happy to close a $30,000 cell phone account. Joanna responded by saying sir I already told you this is all I can do for you and I will not be escalating this call. After that response I mysteriously was disconnected from the line. I called back and mysteriously could not get through to speak to anyone and the response repeated please call back during our business hours, It was around 5:20pm on Saturday when this happened.
Approx. 2 hrs later I called again a was able to get to the retention dept. and spoke to another piece of work by the name of "Rauz" <- this guy was a tool- long story short he gave me more of the same thing however he told me how I could speak with a business manager during work hours if I was not happy with the result. I asked him if Joanna was a supervisor and his response was we are all "LIKE" supervisors. I explained that was the dumbest thing I have ever heard, I said Rauz, in yours or Joanna's business title does the word supervisor follow customer representative. He just avoided my question therefore it is my guess that Joanna lied to me about being the supervisor.
All in all...I have decided to do as another person here suggested, on Monday I will be following up with a business manager during business hours and I will be telling them of my issues, I will also be calling Bell Mobility and seeing if they want my $30,000 worth of business and how willing they are to help me. Out of courtesy which I owe none to Rogers, I will call them and offer them the opportunity to keep my business (because I am happy with the phone service, just not the customer service). If they make me feel like they deserve my business I will stay, if not I pay the $1000 to get out of the contract and smile from ear to ear, as it will have been the BEST $1000 I have EVER spent...Rogers it is in your hands now! I will post back to let you all know how they decided to proceed. CHEERS
44. Fraud!!!!!
they did this to me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i started searching other stories like mine. I am on hold as we speak 3hrs later.
45. Same thing happened to me...
Same thing happened to me... they offered me a better plan for staying with them, when I received my bill this month they apparently signed me up for a 3 years contract without my consent. It's been a nightmare trying to get them to remove the contract since I never agreed to it in the first place.
46. ROGERS SUCKS!
ROGERS FUCKING SUCKS!! my phone hasnt worked for days it wont let me text anyone and we have called to complain and they arent open on fucking weekends!! DO SOMETHING RIGHT!!! so we go to the store and they dont know how to fix my phone..they say you have to wait to monday to call in to rogers! WTF!!! and they keep sending my phone texts that dont make sense I DONT GET IT!!! I am transfering to bell or something you dont know how to treat your customers well!
47. I am having the same problem
I am having the same problem as we speak. Ever since I got my phone Ive had problems with it. Sometimes I loose complete service and other times I wont be able to text for hours at end. I've asked many representatives about this issue and none of them have been able to figure it out. I have a small business just starting out and I need my cell phone for people to contact me. But since yesterday I have been unable to receive or send texts or receive calls. I talked to 3 people for help with my phone. The first person I lost connectivity with. The second I was on the phone with for 3 hours, had my phone completely reboot from their system and the third registered my new SIM card for me. Yet none of these actions have made my phone work again. Now I have to wait until Tuesday to even go in and talk to somebody because Monday is a holiday. They won't do anything else until I have talked to them and tried putting my SIM card in another rogers phone. Yet neither of them will work.
48. Roger's $50 Late Fee
I cannot fathom how this organized crime syndicate (Rogers/Shaw)has these powers to wreck your credit score. I was late to pay Rogers and instead of calling me on my Roger's cell phone, they decided to cut me off. That's when I got pissed-off. It's not the $50 late fee - which they somehow got up to $460+ it is what it does to your credit that costs you that is criminal. Politicians should and have taken note, because this is crushing the very fabric of the private/small business because they are penalized by the financial institutions when it comes to money lending. No lending means the country is stagnant! The interest rate can be 0% - what's the point if the financial institutions won't lend to you? All this for a $50 late fee? It only hurts myself for being stubborn and not paying, but can thousands or millions? of disgrunted customers be all stubborn?. We'll be in the same boat as the Irish before they figure it all out. What the f..k do they care they are just working on giving themselves a pension before the next party takes a kick at our ass.
49. Breach of Privacy
I was woken this morning by a call for my son who has been unable to continue to service his rogers cell phone account as he has no job. The caller expected me to take up the responsibility to settle the account and went into details that my son is irresponsible as he should be having a job. For those who know reality, jobs are not available particularly for part-time students as competition for "dead-end" jobs has increased in recent times and the McD's would prefer someone they can summon at their convenience and students do not meet this category. The caller even intimated that my parenting is wanting as I am encouraging my son to incur debts. As a parent, who never operates a cell-phone, this was insulting and I intend to take up this issue as I was not privy to the contract between my son and Rogers. It is not my responsibility to educate Rogers on good customer service and particularly given the nature of capitalism which is only considered at maximizing profit regardless of how many injuries or lives ruined in the process. It is about time the public questioned our role in maintaining greed (in the name of capitalism), arrogance and monopoly. Is there really any value in working so hard to line the pockets of a few yet what we are purchasing is really not a need?
