- Customer Service Issues
- Status:
- Answered
The decedent (my husband) had a service withG3/Telecom company. Their headquaters seems to be in Canada, but they advertise their service in Canada and US. When my husband passed away I have contacted the company and asked them to transfer a service to my name. I was told they can't provide me postpaid service my deceased husband had. The customer service rep create a new account solely on my name and I prepaid $10.00 from my credit card. Then I found out that CSR without my authorization changed customer name from my husband to my name (with his CC information ) and wanted my credit card information to pay decedent's balance. I told her that I was not a co-signer on my husband CC. They disconnect me from the access number and after that event I found other much cheaper service and asked them to issue me a refund. They said it's not possible.Business response
