Ted Werth is the slumlord of the internet, PlumChoice is supposed to be the "GREATEST NEW THING" Yeah well... not so much. On many occasions I have made appointments for my computer to be repaired "via the internet" and the company just does no complete those appointments. On over 4 occasions their "scheduling system" has malfunctioned. At this point you make another appointment, then wait again another 4-5 hours or even over 24 for another appointment. Their services are not guaranteed, and it's  "BEST EFFORT SERVICE?"  and they still get your money. Currently I am locked into a contract for a year and have to pay my 15.00 or so dollars a month. I will never let them touch my computer again.

Last time they connected, somehow they deleted my hal.dll file. This file is a crucial operating system file, and without it XP will not load. I had to do a full system restore. All if not most of the companies employees are temporary I have found through research, and only have the minimum requirements to work on PC's such as an A+ exam. I would not use this service ever again, as I said before, because I feel, that an actual technician working  physcially would do a better job, hell a monkey would do a better job, they tech's won't even conversate with you on the other line.

 Everything is scripted. It's kinda like talking to a monkey!!!! Unfortunetly I am stuck in this contract. They will give you bad service, delete many system files that shouldn't because they are not knowledgeable enough, oh and if they finish, and your dcomputer no longer works. It's not their fault, they will say this time and time again, and just take your money. Please people get the Geek Squad, or A local Proffesional's who are temp - to hire, that just looking for quick money with no real concern for you computer.

Official PlumChoice Response

AUTHOR: Michael Phelan: Executive Director PlumChoice - Billerica (USA)


This is an unheard-of customer experience at PlumChoice. We run tens of thousands of support sessions and serve more customers every year. We have been in business for more than 9 years and we have been ranked A+ by the Better Business Bureau since 2003. We have received quality awards from organizations like PC Magazine and Laptop Magazine. We have a 95% customer satisfaction rating based on independent third-party surveys conducted after every service session. If this customer’s complaints were common, these achievements would not be possible.

 

Also, to set the record straight, the statement that we have part time temporary Service Technicians is inaccurate. All PlumChoice technicians are full-time U.S.-based employees with multiple years of experience. All have MCP, MCSE, CNE, CNA, A+ CompTIA certifications (one or more). This is one of our strengths.  

 

In addition, we have a rigorous quality assurance system that includes the complete recording of every service session. These include voice, email, chat and even screen shots.  We fully investigate every complaint using these and other records. We take every customer complaint seriously. We work hard to resolve any customer concern. 

 

That is what we would like to do in this case. We have no way of identifying this customer through this website as the complaint was posted anonymously. We encourage this customer to contact us directly at  customercare@plumchoice.com or to call us at 1-888-PLUM-HELP (758-6435). Unfortunately, if we don’t hear about the problem directly, we cannot take action to rectify it.
