We received our bill on November 8th, 2010 to find that a $73.00 package was added which we did not order. On the night that they claimed we placed the order, October 30th 2010, we were not present in our home, nor did we have any visitors. When we called the customer service to dispute the charges they told us that this was a "non-refundable" package. They claimed they could not identify which box in the home that the supposed order was placed nor could they do anything for us. We have been a customer in good standing with this company for over five years. After being transferred from person to person just requesting that the package be canceled and our money refunded they accused us of consciously ordering the package. We explained that had we ordered it, we would not be calling to cancel only a week later. We also explained we were not present in the home. They informed us that their system "never has glitches which could result in charges being placed on a bill by mistake." In addition, we were spoken to condescendingly by the customer service representatives. In conclusion, we just wish the charge to be removed from the bill as we never ordered the service and have no desire for it to be in the home.

I Have Spoken to Two Managers Since

Both of these managers ... I can provide names but wish not to on a public site ... have told me this is a "non-refundable" package. I have now requested that the serial number of the supposed box we ordered it from be tracked. They have not responded yet to this request.
I plan right now on taking out my bill and finding where it says that all pay per view programs are refundable. I am sure they will claim that this is not a "pay per view" package or some such scamming malarky.

Used to work in their customer service department

1) As it states on the cable bill, every customer has the right to cancel within 30 days and no package is "non-refundable."
2) About their system never having glitches, a few points:
a) Normally the system doesn't have glitches, but I've seen a case where the computer messed up a customer's bill which I manually corrected.
b) At one time, the department received many phone calls from customers saying that they didn't order certain pay-per-views (this went on for several weeks). Since that time
I've never received further phone calls on that issue.
c) I had to manually keep track of my sales to get my full commission (I worked there for
6 and 1/2 years and this was a problem from beginning to end). A separate computer had bugs in it that the department never got corrected.
I would call them again - get names with rep numbers and keep track of the date you speak with the department (they often don't note the account). If still no satisfaction within a week, go higher and call the cable commission to voice your complaint.
