Billing

[leannshea]

When I last posted on DSL, some lady called me and tried to debate whether or not Comcast's local Anderson, IN office released my personal information to a registered sex offender, thereby sending him to my home, where I have small children.

Well, guess what? I have HIS personal information now, thanks to Rep LD3.

According to the pink slip she gave me for the THIRD return of equipment because the Rep did not correctly put the equipment in my name.

On my little pink sheet is: This man's name and address and the account number listed on this pink sheet is MINE, with him listed on MY account number.

My billing is still over $276 even though I disconnected Cable TV and got a promo package of $39.99 plus tax, from Martin on 6/24/12.

On this bill dated 7/14/12 is a $30 Tech Visit fee (No tech came to my home), and $40 in install charges for services I already had.

The paper bill reads that I have to pay $206.34 immediately or be disconnected, and the on line bill says I owe $160 and some change, and still subject to immediate disconnect.

And, while the lady who called can deny, deny, deny all she wants, I have in my hot little hands a pink sheet with proof that the Anderson office did, and does, give out customer's addresses to other people. The employee ID is LD3 and is dated 5/21/12.

Now that I have the sex offender's new address, I can find out whether or not he lives near children, a park or school or daycare where children congregate and if so, call Madison County Probation department and have "the man" violated and returned to jail.

I can also ask his neighbors if they know he is a registered sex offender, and let them know that Comcast gave him MY information and then turned around and gave me HIS information.

At least I have actual proof now that personal information is given out by Comcast employee's and why is his name on MY account number, as it shows on the pink receipt?

Am I being billed for his service? This would explain all the billing errors on my account.

Not only that, I was erroneously charged $120.00 in invalid tech visits, and they only credited $112.00. I was not charged $112.00, I was charged $120.00.

I was given some lame excuse as to why the full erroneous charge was not credited back and I don't accept it.

I will be forwarding all of this information to the Indiana Attorney General, the BBB, and the Federal Trade Commission, since I now have written proof that personal information is released and that this man's name is on MY account. I just received another disconnect notice, stating that my cable tv will also be disconnected, as well as internet and phone. I DON'T HAVE COMCAST TV-I HAVE DIRECTTV. The man listed on my account number has comcast tv. Won't he be shocked when both of us are disconnected, because Comcast added him to my account, explaining all of the incorrect billing charges!

I too am being ripped off-I downgraded my services so that I could afford them. I spoke with an actual individual in our local office and not only did they charge me for speaking with a live person, Comcast upped my bill by $70.00!!! When I was at the local office, my bill was supposed to be $117 and some change, instead of $141-I got my bill and it is $180 dollars-Can anybody say mass exodus to U-Verse?

Your post is difficult to understand someone how you have a sex offender on your account and your bill is messed up and he might be by a school.  I think thats what your trying to say.  Anyway here is the national sex offender data base you can look up anyone you like.

leannshea,

Be careful !  Even though you (somehow) got someone else's name, address et cetera you coudl easily find yourself in a world of hurt of YOU start divulging it.  How would you like it if the postal carrier delivered your bank statements to someone else and THEY started sharing that info?

I'm not debating the s*x offender bit NOR am I defending the carelessness by Comcast.  Just a heads up .. be careful.

[leannshea]

His information is already public, because he is a registered sex offender. That includes his new address...I verified it with my former Criminal Justice teacher, who is also the head of the Probation Department for my city.

So......
