PlanetFeedback Works For You!

Debra had major problems with her Blackberry for months & even though
she had been a Verizon Wireless customer for 10 yrs., she could not
get an upgrade for another year. Every replacement phone had the same
problems. After writing a PF letter, Verizon Wireless called her,
thanked her for her loyalty & gave her permission to upgrade to a
different device.
Thanks PF

Comcast responded to a recent letter I wrote to them and while they
couldn't fix or correct the situation, they credited my previous
roommate's bill for our inconvenience so now I don't owe utilies @ my
old apartment for my last month there!

Can't get your website to recognize Barnes & Noble to write a
complaint concerning customer service or lack there of. What am I
doing wrong. I put complaint, then when asked company I put Barnes &
Noble and I keeps getting the same response, telling me that it does
not recognize that store?

The reason I started with PFB was because my Canon printer was not
working correctly. I addressed a complain to Canon via PFB and within
10 business days I had a reply from Canon. They then sent me a new
printer and return lables/postage to send the old one back to them.
Took only 15 days total to get my problem resolved.

Some take CS very seriously and call every time. Verizon Wireless is
one of those companies. They call me every single time. Other
companies don't call at all. The phone call makes a big difference in
my mind. If my letters get ignored I feel less likely to want to go
back.

This is great. But it leaves me thinking... if these companies just
did the right/best thing in the first place, they'd not get (1) bad
publicity and (2) irate consumers. I mean, great that PFB could make
a difference. But it's too bad that a third-party (and public--as in,
visible) method seems necessary to shake some sense into these
companies!

A new modem is on it's way, my LD will be restored by tonight. My
account is being retro-ed to reflect a $10 lower price from the time I
moved until now. I believe, through numerous conversations with Jeff
S. in Phoenix, that every thing I asked for in my original complaint
will be honored. They want to keep me as a customer and are willing
to do what it takes to make it happen. He is calling back with other
things to discuss in a few days after, in his words, "make sense of
this mess" regarding my account. He is in PERSONAL communication with
the tech, Bill, who was at my house yesterday and they are working as
a team. He also said that MOST people who "worked" in my account were
not the techs they said they were, some business office people, or
something in that dept. and that some of them shouldn't have done what
they did, I guess. He's really ticked that this wasn't brought to his
attention by the local office themselves after I was having such a
hard time. He was really apologetic about it having to get through
him this way but very appreciative that Planet Feedback was able to
bring it to his attention.

Thanks!!!!

Thank you SO much PLANETFEEDBACK!! T-mobile contacted me within days
from their exec office..and with little hassle they fixed several
phone calls of distress I had with several reps..in seconds Octavio
erased 600.oo that I owed for 3 early termination fees. MY mind HAS
changed about your company tmobile..THANKS!

I posted a compliment on this website for Target. I am happy to report
that I received a response today from the corporate office thanking me
for my feedback and telling me they would be notifying the local
Target of their success.

Now, I'm waiting to see if AMEX is going to respond to my complaint. I
will keep you posted.

THANKS PLANETFEEDBACK!! I was dissatisfied with a box of Huggies
diapers and sent a complaint with your site. I received a response
from the Kimberly-Clark company that same day saying that I would be
getting a full refund within 3-4 weeks. I received my refund after
only a week and a half! Thank you and I also thank the Kimberly-Clark
company for standing behind their products.

I didn't know where to put this, but Publix responded with a big, nice
letter that I put on the original letter. If anyone would like to read
their awesome feedback, please go here--

Thank you, PFB. A few weeks ago, I wrote a letter to Kraft regarding
my disappointment in a South Beach Living frozen entree.

This morning, I received a letter apologizing for my disappointment,
thanking me for my feedback, and encouraging me to continue to let
them know how they are doing.

Enclosed was a coupon for a free South Beach Living frozen entree.
Very classy of Kraft, IMHO.

In my opion, there is not another site more effective than
PlanetFeedback. I have used the site twice to help resolve serious
issues. Within mere hours, both issues were resolved. The first
issue was regarding problems with a homebuilder. They would not make
required corrections to their shoddy work when presented with an
inspection report. I sent a letter through PlanetFeedback one night
and by the next morning, representative from the corporate office
called and assured me that all issues would be immediately corrected.
They actually started working on the problems that very day!

Last night I sent another letter to Western Union because they
incorrectly processed a transfer of funds. The offered to cancel the
transaction, but in the meantime, my funds were not available to me.
The rep that I spoke with said that it would take about a week before
I would have funds returned to my account. I sent a letter last night
around midnight, and by 1:00 p.m.today, I received an email from my
bank notifying that all of my funds were deposited into my account.

I appreciate PlanetFeedback for providing consumers with this service.
We no longer have to settle and accept unfair treatment by companies
that we spend our hard earned money with. Thank you so very much!

I had no resolution from my ongoing refund issue with Adobe
software...UNTIL I posted my complaint letter on Planet Feedback! That
was April 30, and I'm happy to say that today (May 14), I was FedEx'd
a refund check from them!
My only regret is that it took me 8 months of agony with Adobe before
I discovered Plant Feedback. Thanks so much for your assistance.

Thanks Planet Feedback! I had an issue with verizon wireless customer
service.I received a call the same day I posted my complaint,and
already have resolution to my issueI appreciate the help :o)

Sprint replied to my letter within 24 hours! They were very nice and
resolved my situation very quickly. Thank you Planet Feedback! I only
wish it didn't take me writing a letter to the board of directors to
solve an issue that clearly could have been solved earlier. Needless
to say though I am very pleased that this time I was not given the run
around and everything was taken care of within a matter of minutes.

I wanted to thank you so much for facilitating the favorable response
we got in regard to our issues we experienced at Sunset Beach Montego
Bay Jamaica. I had no idea the interest that would be taken in my
letter. I have used the site many times in the past and had success,
however this time my letter skyrocketed to the top and people took a
great interest. It really helped and I would like to include the
update that I recently added to my letter.

***************************************

I would like to take this opportunity to provide an update regarding
these incidents. The resort in Montego Bay has taken the necessary
measures to ensure that what happened to us will not happen to anyone
else. Also we have come to an agreement wherein we will be able to
experience Jamaica again with a clean slate. Mr. Bloomfield, the
general manager in Montego Bay, was very apologetic and sincere and
wanted us to be able to enjoy Jamaica. We are happy with the way the
events were resolved.
*******************************************

I also want to thank your support guru Greg - Mr. Helpful. He is so
resourceful and friendly and incredibly helpful. Keep up the great
work.

Thanks so much.

I submitted a recon letter for Target Card through PFB and was still
denied.

On 11/2 I posted a letter that I sent about a customer service issue I
had with Allstate. Although some PFB folks posted responses opining
that the letter was a dramatic diatribe that went on way too long, two
people from corporate have contacted me-- one naional and one local.
They were very apologetic and extremely willing to assist in resolving
my complaint. They even offered to pay some expenses that the company
was previously not willing to cover. So it was effective! I am very
pleased! THANKS, PLANET FEEDBACK for providing us with this
platform!!!

I got a phone call from Taco Bell today saying they would comp me a
free meal for writing such a great letter about their store

so so so so cool of them.

I recently sent a letter to Canadian Tire because they had an employee
in the garden centre that wasn't very helpful (titled "do you have a
good memory?") Last week I recieved a letter from Canadian Tire that
they were looking into the matter and would have a local manager
follow up. I didn't think anything else would come of it until
yesterday when the manager of the store called me. He assured me that
the situation was taken care of and talked with me for about 10
minutes assuring me that my next visit would be better and to stop by
and introduce myself to him the next time I was in the store.
I was so impressed! This wasn't just "We've taken care of it" he
actually cared about my concern!

I recently sent a letter to Shout! telling them how much I love thier
spray. They were happy to hear from me and are sending me a coupon
for any one of thier products. I couldn't believe it!

Thanks PFB! I recently sent a letter to M&M Mars (after mistakenly
sending to Hershey's) to complement them on their great new "Addams
Family" Dark chocolate M&M Ad Blitz...just to let their people know I
appreciated their Efforts and they reached a broad audience by making
this commercial... I was happy to get a response as follows:

Just thought I'd share...
Several months ago, I wrote a letter to my local Walgreens,
thanking them for going above and beyond the call of duty during a
power outage.
Fast forward to yesterday. I was there for an interview and
recognized the manger that was there that day. In the course of
conversation, she happened to mention - you got it!- that they got a
letter from PFB thanking them.It had been long enough that she of
course did not recognize my name untill that moment. It is still on
the wall in her office, as a reminder that even though some customer's
tempers got short as the day wore on, the efforts of the employees
were appreciated.
I guess it just goes to show that compliments do matter.

Sprint called today:

-Agreed to clear $133
-Agreed that it was a mistake on their part
-Agreed to contact Afni (Collection agency) and have them send letter
to the 3 Credit Bureaus (could take 90 days)
-Apologised!!!
-They asked for my adress to send a letter confirming

I will update everyone once finalized!!!

THANK YOU for all of your support.

I found this site on a goof by typing something into google, and took
a chance. It looks as though it has paid off. I will be sure to
share this website with everyone I know. Maybe someone can craft a
letter inviting friends and family to try it out...

Thank you once again!!!!!

Hormel sent a reply to my letter complaining about packaging, in less
than six hours. Although it was only a standard reply, it made me
feel that customer service and satisfaction is a priority with the
company. If I see a change in the packaging, I'll know Hormel is
really on the ball!

I received a response from Apple with instructions on how to open an
iTunes account without a credit card. It did take a month, but PFB
members gave me great advice as soon as my letter was posted.

I wish more people would post updates here.

I received a letter today on behalf of Michael Reardon, CEO of
Citibank Student loan accounts in response to my posting on 12/26/06
apologizing for the way they handled my account. My account has
finally been corrected after several months of calling and being told
that someone was looking into it. My loan consolidation was finally
processed 6 days after writing to Planet Feedback and my account
credited the incorrect interest charged over the last 8 months.

I want to thank Planet Feedback for their help in having Citibank
resolve my issues finally. I do appreciate the aplology letter from
Citibank as well. It's nice to know that Planet Feedback exists to
give the little people a voice.

Sincerely,
Francesca Y

I had an issue with FTD.com regarding not being able to use my gift
certificate on a sale item. I feel gift certificates should be treated
same as cash and this was not combining 2 promotions. I finally found
their email address on google last night and sent them an email
explaining my situation. I wanted to use my gift certificate to send
flowers to my 9 yr old daughter who lives in Alabama with her dad
because I am disabled. But being on a fixed income makes it hard to
pay the overpriced charges on regular priced items.

I got a call an hour or so ago letting me know they would make a
special exception in my case and for me to call her back directly to
place the order. I am sending her a vase of red tulips and FTD
actually lowered the delivery charge for me too. So it only cost me
$6.50 for the flowers & delivery. Speaking out really works...thanks
PFB!

I don't want to be rude to planetfeedback.com, but I just don't want
this to be all of the success stories this website has. I mean, it's
kinda discouraging to write to comapnies if only a certain lucky few
get respones. I haven't been to this website before so I'm not 100%
sure if this is all of them or not. All I want to say is that I just
hope me writing letters/complaints/etc. to companies isn't in vain....

these are just some of the most recent. there are many more however
we cant publicize them because they are from the companies that
respond and they sometimes ask the correspondence remain private.

I've written several letters to companies through this site, and I've
heard back from most of them. Muir Glen sent me coupons, which is
great since their soup is $2/can when it's on sale.

I'd love to see a permanent spot on the main page of PFB where people
can post the feedback/responses they've gotten to their letters.
