This complaint is about ******* ****************** *********, CA 94304-1126 HP is unlawfully retaining control of my personal email through their OEM McAfee registration system, despite my returning the laptop. I can't activate my paid ****** subscription as ** has my email locked. I no longer have the serial number and HP's support system is designed to block access without a serial number. I have been routed through endless automated loops, denied human contact, and unable to resolve this issue. McAfee is locked out and unable to help, they tried to help. This is not a technical glitch-it is a deliberate failure of accountability and a violation of my digital rights. I have filed a complaint with **'s Privacy Team directly. I am filing this complaint to document their inaction.I demand that ** immediately release my email address from their OEM system and confirm in writing that all of my personal data has been removed, fully. I will continue to escalate this publicly and legally if necessary. I am not asking. I am demanding.Business Response

Dear Instant ******************** Team,I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the recent experience I have had with your Instant Ink subscription ********** April of this year, I was notified by your service that a shipment of ink cartridges was on its way to my home. However, despite this notification, I did not receive the shipment until Juneover two months later. This significant delay caused considerable inconvenience, as I rely on timely ink deliveries to ensure uninterrupted use of my printer for both personal and professional tasks.I am disappointed not only by the delay itself but also by the lack of proactive communication or updates regarding the status of my shipment during this period. As a paying subscriber, I expect a higher standard of reliability and customer care.I kindly request that you review my case and provide an explanation for the delay, as well as what steps you will take to prevent similar issues in the future. Additionally, I would appreciate consideration for compensation or a credit to my account in light of the inconvenience I have experienced.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and a resolution to my concerns.Business Response

I purchased an Omnibook through your site. It was delivered June 12th and I just started using it. The screen keeps having a flicker issue and the touchpad features are not working properly. I think the screen is defective. I tried to go to the support website for help but it is impossible to talk to anyone or submit anything without entering the serial number ************, which it doesn't recognize. I spent over two hours trying to talk to someone or submit a ticket, and it literally isn't possible. I sent screenshots of the order summary with the order # and serial listed. Also a screenshot of how it doesn't recognize the serial number. It is not possible to get support or talk to anyone on your site without it recognizing the serial number.For context. I bought this laptop to help get some stuff done in the hospital as my 2yo daughter fights leukemia. I spent hours trying to figure out why the screen is flickering then even more hours trying to figure out how to get support or why the serial isn't being recognized. I ended up having a panic attack at how much of my very little free time was wasted on such an expensive purchase that was supposed to help me rather than hurt me. I don't want to waste any more time trying to figure out what the issue is or getting the defective screen fixed. I have a feeling that would just be many more hours of frustration and waiting. Can you please just help me with a refund? I seriously cannot handle any more stress in my life. I'm just going to buy a similar Omnibook from Best Buy directly. Then if I have any issues I can just walk it into the store instead.Please please please help me with a return.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:I opened this BBB complaint because the case manager provided replacements that were unacceptable. I understand that after 30 days the warranty is for repair or replacement, but ** has been unable to repair, and all the replacements I have been offered by the case manager are of lower spec level. Replacement should be of equal or greater value, not lower!

I am filing this complaint against ** for their failure to provide competent support and for knowingly selling a product that became unusable after a standard macOS update.After my HP printer stopped working following the Mac upgrade, I contacted support. Over the course of more than 3 hours, I was passed between nine different agents, all of whom had me repeat the exact same troubleshooting steps, including power cycling, reinstalling the app, checking the Wi-Fi, and reinstalling the drivers, despite me explaining repeatedly that I had already tried everything.They kept attempting to blame the issue on hardware or my connection, rather than acknowledging it was a software/cartridge compatibility issue caused by the update. Not one of them honored my request to escalate to a supervisor, they just handed me off to the next agent in a ********* is the list of agents I spoke with:1.***** ***** 2.***** 3.**** 4.Kacey 5.****** 6.***** 7.Aishwarya 8.9.***** ***** 10. ***** (Employee ID: ********************, the 10th agent, finally admitted this was a known compatibility issue between HP cartridges and the latest MacOS. He promised a new set of cartridges, claiming they were compatible with the update and would be delivered within 34 business days. It has now been over a week, and I have received nothing.This is unacceptable. ** failed to disclose that their cartridges are not compatible with the latest Mac system, refused to escalate the issue when asked, and wasted my time with a repetitive script while gaslighting me about the cause.HP Case Number: ********* Name: ****** ***** Email: ********************** Phone: ************ Location: *********, **Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
Thank you for the response. However, I must clarify that the escalated case referenced (Case #**********) has already been mishandled and ignored by **.
I have repeatedly contacted the assigned supervisor via email and phone, and she has not returned a single message or voicemail. This lack of communication has gone on for a week, and meanwhile ** has extended my estimated repair timeline to two months.I purchased this system for $4,000 and rely on it for my personal and professional work. ** has failed to honor its own warranty language, which promises repairs within a commercially reasonable time. Three failed repair attempts followed by a two-month delay to source parts is not reasonable by any legal or consumer standard.
romptly, I will pursue further action through the ************************ (***) and other applicable channels.
If ** is unwilling to fulfill its warranty obligations by offering an immediate replacement or full refund, I will proceed with legal action through California small claims court. I am fully prepared to file against ******* and seek recovery for the defective product and breach of warranty.
Please escalate this case to a new case manager or someone in Executive Relations who is willing to respond and resolve this immediately. I will not accept continued silence or delays while my case is falsely marked as being worked on.
Sincerely,
