This isn’t a personal dispute, Melissa. They have taken money from me and refuse to communicate. And the “threat” that i made is contact the payment vendor because they are holding my money hostage, and they don’t have a phone line. This isn’t a threat of violence, or harassment, this is contacting a payment vendor because I have no other recourse.
Banning an account is fine. Stealing money is not fine. They don’t need a reason to ban me from their services. It’s their right. What they CANNOT do, is steal my money. They sold me tokens on a locked account without telling me and are offering no way of a refund. That is incredibly illegal. So please Melissa, i don’t think “be polite” is helpful critique.
It’s also outrageous and frustrating that you are defending a customer support line for refusing to offer support to patrons. What world do you live in where this is an ok way to run a business? You simply cannot sell a product and not deliver a product. I don’t care what their reasons are for thinking my account is linked to a banned account. If they want to keep me banned, I don’t care. I just want my money back. I have made that very clear to them. I am not trying to dispute anything other than my purchase. I can ask for clarification on this banned mystery account after the money is settled.
But I want to thank you Melissa. I was holding off on sending reports out to third parties, and giving CB a chance to grow up and act like professionals. But your incredulous defense of actual theft has inspired me to lose all faith of professionalism and positive will.
So now I will be filing reports to MMbill (their payment vendor), my own bank, lodging a BBB complaint that they will be forced to respond to, and send a notice to the AG so they have another complaint about their organization logged . If they want to steal money, it will be documented. I have all emails saved and will report accurately and in full detail. They can thank you, Mellisa, for your part in these of complaints.
Thanks so much for your advice.
Good luck to you as well.
