    ClearRate Communications fraudulently setup an account for telephone services for my 93 year old ************ in December 2023. He has now received two bills, one overdue and his account is bogus and no services have ever been set up or received. Prior communication said his phone line was ported from ATT to Clear Rate. This was done without customers knowledge.

    If I could give this company zero stars I would. I don't know how they got a hold of our account but they claim they had authorization from a person that is not authorized to make such changes. She has denied that she authorized anything. So they are sending me this "recording" of her authorizing the switch within 24 hours authorizing the switch. I'm curious to see what it says He asked me if I wanted to take care of the bill. Then he said that they were going to shut off our phones. TOTAL SCAM.

    I'm sorry to hear about your experience, but I must clarify a few things. Our process for switching services involves several verification steps to ensure that the individual requesting the change is authorized to do so. This includes a sales call, followed by a Third Party Verification (TPV), and then a ***************** (QA) call. These steps are in place to prevent unauthorized changes.

    Customers who have had their services switched to us at Clear Rate, have the option to return to their previous provider by contacting their previous provider directly and requesting to return. Additionally, if your service was ported out within the last 30 days, we can waive any early termination fees.

    If the services were switched to Clear Rate and are showing as us as the provider, and the bill is past due, there is a chance services may be disconnected due to non-payment. It's crucial to address any billing issues promptly to avoid service interruption.

    We value your business and would welcome the opportunity to work for you to address any concerns you may have or if you're interested, we have ways to bring down your bill and ensure your satisfaction with our services.


    Please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly at ************************************ if you'd like to discuss this further or explore your options. We're here to help.
    Hope to hear from you.
