      Acct#************* I have been calling customer service since our third month of service asking them to explain a +$*** "Amount of Previous Invoice" ****. I have been promised these documents by email or hard copy. I have been waiting for a supervisor follow up call for * years and have currently been waiting for * weeks since my last call. December ****, 2023 our services were cut off. I spoke with a customer service representative, the second one after the first one wouldn't accept my proof of payment, I explained that it was within my rights to ask for documents proving monies owed as a ******** consumer, since they were different from my own. I have never missed a payment since our services started. He put me on hold to talk to his supervisor and said they would delete the $*** from our account as they were unable to provide documents from that long ago. I said I was willing to pay current amount for services owed for December and was not looking for free services. They turned or services back on ad I was transferred to a different depart for non related discussions. Our next bill Dec/Jan **** shows Amount previous is still +$****** our Current Charges $-*****. Jan/Feb **** Previously owed $****** with Current Charges $******... $***** late fees. I now want not only an explanation with documental proof I would like all the interest I have paid for the last * years.

      I called to cancel my parents internet and SatelliteTV Service. I explained that my father,94 and Mother, 91 unfortunately are going into a nursing home. It took at least 45 minutes to an hour to cancel. Just terrible customer service. On hold over and over. The other frustrating part as well was ******* says you will be charged an extra $15 per month over and above your monthly price of the contract you have with us until it expires. You cant cancel, you are under a contract. So on top of the ridiculous cost of the internet and satellite my parents, who are on a fixed income now they have to pay an extra $300 plus their monthly bill that they are not able to use. This company needs to do some best business practices because this is just a money grab. Sometimes thinking out side the box and making decisions that make good business sense for consumer service are better than poor corporate decisions. You would think that there would be some type of alternative choice towards the customer because of the issue at hand. Elderly going into a nursing home. But he did say if they had died, Shaw would have waived the cancellation fee. Isnt that special! ??

      Shaw Direct has reviewed the account and can confirm that when a Two-Year Value Plan is canceled, early cancellation fees are applicable as outlined in the service agreement sent to our customers at the initial subscription. Shaw Direct strives to provide the best customer experience and we appreciate being given the opportunity to clarify the matter. We invite you to contact our advisors to discuss the final balance owed on the account.
