Dell & Dell.com Dell Home Former Dell Customer Ripped Off; unauthorized hold placed on bank account by Dell Computers, Internet

I am another Dell customer who has been distressed over Dell's unprofessional service.  First they are still keeping a hold on my Bank Account until February of next year on an order for a 1.5TB drive that they screwed up and lost all record of.  I have the Dell Purchase ID which is all they ever gave to me besides a headache; loss of time and money.  I spoke to customer service and was transferred ~9 times and no one could help me with this.  Now I need to close the bank account and I cannot because Dell is keeping this hold on my account even though I requested it to be canceled.  They leave me no way to contact them online about this because they never gave me an Order Number which is needed to submitted anything online.  The people who answer their phones at customer service are clueless.  Now I have been a Dell customer for over 10 yrs. and have at least 10 Dell computers at my Small Business among other Dell products and never have I been so inconvenienced and alienated by a company.

I will go out of my way not to purchase from Dell now even when they are having their deals because of the chance they might screw it up again.  So I went to a big competitor of theirs and I found the same hard drive for less and it came in 2 days to my doorstep with no hassles.  The order processing and shipping at said competitor was flawless.  Dell has lost another lifetime customer and I will be recommending to all of my business contacts and family to steer clear of such an unprofessional company.
