Poor Customer Service

Hi I purchased router with Rain and everything was okay and the agent explained to me that if I don't pay for the month I will have no wifi as it is month to month and it doesn't have any penalties, it was delivered so I requested to take the another router for somebody else and explained to the agent who was assisting me and everything was fast as it was towards the end of business day... So I asked him now that you did not take or ask for the details of the person to be billed for the new router won't it be a problem? He said it won't and come month end the bill was added under mine... I tried to contact them they never got back to me so I decided not to pay They called me with the promise to pay plan and I did that and it was active for the following month... When I logged in under my account I saw that the bill has been accumulated to my surprise and I requested the second router cancellation and was given ticket number and no one got back to me until now when they see that I decided not to pay I explained everything to them and they said it will be canceled then I need to pay new promise to pay of which I did on the 19th of November twice and still the wifi is still inactive when I contact them they send me from pillar to post... I never experienced such poor customer service before... Rain has got the worst customer service... I spoke to more than 5 agents and all of them have been given me different explanations and I don't have their names the ones I remember I Linda and Leila... I really am exhausted by the service I received from rain... Really how do I pay for service that I didn't receive or use as they told me it's not a contract. As for the promise to pay it was paid at 12:31 in store and when I asked why is it still not active they said the link has expired and I explained to her that I can only do payment in store as there are no funds in my account and she said there is no problem I can pay in store so I did that and still the same thing happened when I enquired the other agent said I was supposed to pay using a link of which the link has the pay in store option. As I asked for the amount paid to be re allocated as PTP she said they are unable to do that... I really do believe that Rain sucks a lot. Their staff are not trained.. They all say different things which inconvenience us as clients.

The Loop is the one to be canceled... The first month I picked up that billing is added to router 101 I requested cancellation of it... I have been promised a call but nothing.

Promise to pay that I requested to be allocated as they said I paid using cash instead of card and I was told that cash payment will be okay and also in the options the is in store payment yet am wrong for paying in store and I paid twice yet it's still inactive....i really do hate rain right now... Service is very bad and exhausting.

I did the promise to pay and I paid in store then I contacted Rain and I was told the link expired they will send me the new link. I explained to the agent who called me that I only can pay in store since there are no funds in my account and again asked if it won't be a problem... The agent told me that it is okay to pay in store... I went there to pay for the second time and still had the same issue... So when I contacted Rain again I still was told the same thing... I really feel that I am very inconvenienced by Rain by hiring the agents and not providing sufficient training to be able to assist customers. I should not have paid PTP twice in a day if someone has explained to me... If you now say I need to make a promise to pay do you mean I must do it for the third time? And again on the PTP it also has the in-store payment... Why does Rain hire people and not give proper training cos always when someone called me I had to explain the same issue and also given different explanation... I did make a second payment when the link was still active yet am being told the same... I really hate what is happening... If you can't move that money paid then I would like to have all the services under my name canceled by Rain and hope for other clients to see what has happened to me and move to other service providers.

I really do believe that you guys give proper training to your staff as they tell clients wrong information... It wasn't my fault to start with... One of your agents wanted to make a sale and didn't put into consideration of how will this affect me as a customer... I really do not want anything to do with Rain at this point... You should be treating your customers like gold for that matter as they bring business into your company.

Hi

See I asked about downgrading to the lesser plan and I haven't received any response regarding other plans... Can someone help me with this so I can make a decision as to which one I want to downgrade to.

Thanks
