Down & out over account lockdown
Sooo, this would be funny in some other time and space but right now it's just making me completely crazy. TWENTY DAYS AGO-- the same day I made a payment as usual on my account--my service stopped working. So I called customer service (of course they weren't calling me) and was informed that my service was suspended and my account locked automatically due to something about breaking rule 92: using 3 credit cards in a 12 month period that are in different names from different countries. Ok. This sounds like a simple thing to resolve doesn't it? I mean, they've accepted my payments, right? Should be easy enough for them to verify the source of the money. Yes, one would think. And of course it would be easy I was told. It will take 3-5 business days during which our corporate management team will review the account and have your service restored. So how funny and complicated is it that I'm now 20 days into this forced state of no wifi and believe me when I say, there's no end in sight. I have talked to 20 different agents who have literally said they have no information, had my case escalated 16 times, been promised a call back, been told no I can't call them because nobody knows the number (right?! One guy said he had a fax number..🤪) and last night a reassuring promise of restoration of service and end to this nightmare within 24 hours. So upon my yet another call to customer service just now at the 24 hour mark, you know what they actually told me? That it would be 3-5 business days, etc etc. OH MY GOD!!! Oh my god. To be clear, my one and only card that I've used to pay Hughes net for years now is issued by a real bank right here in Georgia USA and no, it isn't in a funky name or from a funky country. If I had an alternative to Hughesnet, I would be begging at its doorstep right now. But since I don't I guess I'll just keep going round and round on the 3-5 business day ride FOREVER. Someone just take me out of this misery!!!
