What a mess! Is your account a business one? If so, the only way to get help is to call 800.347.3272 for support, unfortunately. This community is for residential users only; the reps here don't have much access to the business side of the house. I really hope you can get some help.
Yes it is a business account she talked us right into it bit didn't once say anything about the trial policy changing. This has truly been a terrible heart breaking experience. I've cried over this. It was a tough decision to start with and then this happens. I would have never committed to spending over $800 just to basically test a product. They say there is no proof of the conversion even though it says its recorded soon as you make the call. They truly are people being trained to be bad people and scam people into this. We would never have a problem paying for the time the tech had in installation but to pay $800 for a early termination fee when we was told we had 7 days is truly heart breaking especially a week before I have to buy school clothes for my daughter.
That's terrible. What's puzzling is that I don't think HughesNet offers any kind of trial period at all, not even for business accounts. Did you get the account via a reseller, maybe? In any case, and even though the reps here don't have real access to the business accounts side, I would suggest that you start a ticket under myAccount and Billing (https://community.hughesnet.com/t5/myAccount-and-Billing/bd-p/AccountandBilling). Provide as much information as you can about your case, in case the reps are able to do something or contact someone on your behalf. I really hope this gets resolved for you one way or another.
