They say that necessity is the mother of invention, I say \u2018they\u201d are right. After spending 3 hours trying to straighten out an order with my wireless carrier yesterday, I was ready to blow a fuse. I spent 3 hours listening to crazy, nondescript music while on hold waiting for yet another customer service representative who told me he or she would take care of it and call me back. Ya think they called me back?<\/span><\/p>\n It all began when I took advantage of a mail promotion about which it seems, the wireless company failed to notify its customer service representatives. Anyway, I bought into the promo \u2013 naive dolt that I am. I ordered two of the phones that were advertised. One was free the other was not \u2013 a buy one get one free deal. However, when my order arrived from UPS, I had been \u201cupgraded\u201d to phones that cost $80 more and neither was free.<\/span><\/p>\n The final straw was when one of the customer service reps asked me to send her photos of the promotional flyer for the free phone. Really? Like I\u2019m making all this up? Oh well. I\u2019ll be a sport. I dutifully scanned both sides of the flyer. saved them as JPEGs and sent them via email to the representative. She promised to call me back when she got the pictures and fix things for me. She never called back and things never got fixed up.<\/span><\/p>\n That was it. I had had it. The pressure valves in my head were about to explode. But every dark road has a light on it somewhere. All that frustration and exasperation led me to the Elliot Report.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s a gold mine for frustrated consumers who are sick and tired of being on the treadmill trying to talk to a real human being and to talk to a human being who has the brains and the authority to fix problems.<\/span><\/p>\n Most of you have used Amazon, right? If something goes wrong who can you contact? The Elliot Report puts that information at your fingertips!<\/span><\/p>\n I found corporate executives\u2019 contact information on the Elliott Report. I promptly emailed 3 different people explaining the merry-go-round I was on. And within 30 minutes of sending those emails, my phone rang. It was from a lady who worked for one of the vice presidents. In less than 30 minutes she had all my problems solved, My order was corrected, my phones upgraded for free, and I received a credit on my bill for all my trouble.
