Show up to do the work or not, don't lie.

I recently posted this blog about customer service.

 

From some of the comments I realized I am not the only one who has run into companies with poor customer service. 

 

Sharon Tara commented that someone once told her he came to her house. She has camera monitoring so she could tell he had not been there.

 

I think in my situation, the service representative had his own jobs that day which would yeild him more money. So later he told the home warranty company that came to the house "a little late".  I'm guessing he did that so that he will not lose his relationship with them.

One thing that totally irks me is a liar. I've had delivery companies tell me they came, and I know they didn't because I was sitting there waiting for them all day. ARRRRRGH.

Endre Barath, Jr., I often say that there are at least two sides to every story.

Sheila Anderson, Once someone lies to me, I have a hard time totally trusting them after that!

I wasn't expecting this...LOL

Thanks for the mention. It gave me great pleasure to call them out on their blatant lie. It was awkward but I think they learned a little lesson that day!

Sharon Tara, I was just on the phone with our Long and Foster insurance agent who also sells home warranties; she said that the notes say that the technician came out after 5:00 and there was no one home. It's not like he didn't have my cell phone number!! Why would any service technician think it's O K to show up more than 3 hours late when he had a six hour window already?

Sybil, lies are one thing I just cannot deal with. I don't care how bad the truth is - I can take that and process it any day over a lie.

Regardless if he came or not he didn't do what he was supposed to do. His customer service is questionable.

Debbie Reynolds, I would say his customer service was more than questionable, since he had my phone number and could have called me but didn't.
