      Your Google Fi Support Inquiry: Case ID*****************

      Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2022/08/15) */
      Hello BBB Team,

      Thank you for bringing the user's issue to our attention. We have reviewed their case and we see that their bank declined the user's payment. As per Google Fi policy, the user has 3 days to pay this bill. After that date, then their service goes into partial suspension. If the bill remains unpaid after 18 days, then the user's account will be suspended which means they have no service.

      At this time, the user's service is suspended until they make a payment to bring the account current. The user can see the correct amount that is due by going to pay.google.com, click on Subscriptions, then click on Google Fi, Manage. Please note that the most current information for user's Google Fi subscription billing can be found here.

      We recommend that the user contact the other carrier to investigate the issue with that product.

      We ask that the BBB close this complaint.

      Thank you,
      The Google Fi Support Team

      April 11 I shipped the Pixel 6 Pro **************************************************** for repair ***********. On April 26, I contacted live chat CASE: *************** to inquire about the status of the repair, and they directed me to contact the carrier. ***** claim ********** was opened. On May 27, I contacted the live chat CASE: *************** again to inquire about the location of my phone and why it takes nearly two months to repair it, and they basically said they don't know where the phone is and that I should deal with the carrier myself. I'm on my fourth month of waiting for the phone I sent for "repair." They most likely lost it and refuse to admit it, so I doubt I'll ever see my phone again. I'm hoping that my report here will compel them to act, but if not, it will serve as a warning to others not to trust them with legally bought items, or you may never see them again, as I did. Terrible company and support.

      Google fraudulently reports that my password a incorrect. They then take my password as valid and I pass authentication on my phone as well, but Google fails to give me access in clear bad faith. They also fail to provide any good faith support, and operate in clear bad faith because they do not allow you to get support unless you are logged in. They are operating in clear bad faith, which means they are failing to comply with their own terms if agreement, rendering it thanks and void.

      My Stadia gaming controller purchased from the Google Online Store have malfunctioned. It is still under the 1 yr warranty. I filed a claim with Google support and they agree to replace it with a functional unit. They are unable to fulfill the replacement procedure due to a system issue within the Google support system. They have escalated to higher tier support, but so far they are unable to issue the replacement either. There is no ETA to resolve this, and I propose they allow me to return the unit to a physical Google store for a replacement. And they said this is not possible. Below is the information I submitted with Google for the warranty claim: Claim filed: 7/13/2021 Case ID ********************** # GS.7104-3095-9828 S/N of Stadia Controller: 9B19OYCAC6LZZP or 9B190YCAC6LZZP. I can't tell if the 5th digit is the letter 'O' or the number '0'. Desired Outcome: Google to fulfill the warranty agreement, and send me a replacement Stadia gaming controller to replace the malfunctioning unit. Attached is my purchase receipt, and warranty policy.

      I am a holistic physician of over 41 years. Google has posted a fake review on their site. I never saw this patient his name is *************************** and I reported it to them but they are unwilling to remove it. In their policy it says that they will not post fake information, reviews especially toward a doctor.

      I have already reached out to them two different times. They keep telling me it is within their policy yet I read their policy and it says that they do not post fake reviews. Also reviews of customers that never came to the business which is the case here. I want them to remove that review they should be able to do that.

      Hello,

      Thanks for reaching out. After looking at the review and investigating its sources, we've determined that it does not violate our review guidelines, available here: ***********************

      Keep in mind, users are not required to use a real name when leaving reviews, so you may not recognize the name. We see you've responded to the review already, which is great! Responding to reviews can help future customers see your approach to customer service and know that you actively reach out to resolve any issues.

      I do not accept this because this person was not a patient of mine. He is not using an alias name. He is on ******** I'm in closing a picture of his page. With photos. This person never came to my office or had an experience in my office. This review needs to be removed according to google policies they do not post fake reviews, and fake engagement. They are not follow following their policy.

      Google has locked me out of my account and will not let me back in without a document from my bank stating they are reversing a chargeback.The transaction in question happened on 1/6/2022. I filed a dispute with my bank on 1/7/2022 and the dispute was found in my favor.My account was not locked by Google when the dispute occurred in January but was just locked 2 weeks ago. I've talked to my bank and they told me the only way a chargeback would be assessed to Google and the transaction refunded to me was if good agreed to the chargeback. Now 5 months later Google is trying to get me to reverse the chargeback they agreed to.Do I have any leg to stand on? My bank won't provide me documentation of their communication with good at the time of the dispute without a subpoena. And Google won't share any of that information nor will they even review the actual case in question in full detail.I need my access to my Google pay account for my job and this issue has been a giant toss around for 2 weeks now.

      My Pixel 5A devices stopped working. The customer support couldn't offer much help and sent me a refurbished Pixel 5A instead of a new one. The refurbished device came after 5 days and it was rooted. Because it was rooted I cannot use functionality like Google Pay. I reached the support they could not offer me a solution and left the issue. I am really frustrated with the customer support.

      Hi *******,

      I have already contacted Pixel Team twice who were unfortunately unhelpful twice. Here is the Google Support Inquiry: Case ID**************** for the same.

      I am pleading for a compensation for the inconvenience caused which has ruined my last 3 weeks chasing you guys and has caused a lot of trouble to me personally.

      I really would want to have this fixed as soon as possible and would want a new Pixel 6A with the Pixel Buds in exchange of a rooted refurbished device offered.

      I repeat new Pixel 6A with the Pixel Buds in exchange of a rooted refurbished device offered.

      This is not a response nor does it address any of the questions or legitimate concerns brought up.

      The automatic responses that were provided above did not make it to where I could contact someone directly nor did it provide any other channel of communication that isn't already available.

      Keep up the censorship because y'all day will come one day, hopefully sooner rather than later

      Hello,

      Thank you for reaching out with your concerns.

      We have reviewed the videos you appealed and determined that they are in violation of our Community Guidelines.

      ******* is a platform for free expression of all sorts and we take great care when we enforce our policies. While we try to allow as much content as possible, hate speech is not allowed on ******** We remove content promoting violence or hatred against individuals or groups based on any of the following attributes: age, caste, disability, ethnicity, gender identity, nationality, race, immigration status, religion, sex/gender, sexual orientation, victims of a major violent event and their kin, or veteran status.

      Upon review, we have removed the videos per our Hate Speech policies as they contain content that alleges the superiority of a group over those with any of the attributes noted above to justify violence, discrimination, segregation, or exclusion.

      Yet again another automated response sent, please do provide time stamps of when any of the listed transpired,

      "hate, age, caste, disability, ethnicity, gender identity, nationality, race, immigration status, religion, sex/gender, sexual orientation, victims of a major violent event and their kin, or veteran status"

      No violations happened on any of the videos other then the one with ***********************************, since a video of him reading the ********* Own documents on Covid is now considered "Medical Misinformation"

      But back to the main issue at hand, that is my channel being issues strikes then removed with no factual violations other then my content being Pro-Russian.

      It is never to let to admits one is wrong and correct the mistakes one has made but to keep backing up your content moderators when they allow their own biases & personal feelings to dictate what is acceptable & what isn't, is not the American way.

      Then again it could be Google's feelings dictating how content is removed, just know every good thing must come to an end one day and with the amount of censorship going on with your company will decide your future in our American society.

      I look forward to another automated and more trash responses with no form of evidence to back up any of the "community Policy violations" issued to me.

      I received several emails from google fiber service stating that I needed to update my payment method. I reentered the same payment method thinking it should go through. I immediately got an email stating that it did not go though. I then added a new payment method. My new payment was charged $70 which was okay but the original payment method was also charged $140 . $70 twice. I was refunded one charge of $70 but was told I could not get a refund of the second charge of $70. I spoke with a Manager named ***** at 2:18 pm CST on Friday 7/22/22. I would like my second charge of $70 refunded back to me. ***** refused to let me speak with anyone else regarding this matter.

      I was informed by a manager Named ***** that I could not speak with another supervisor, nor was he going to transfer me to anyone else. This person was very unprofessional nor was he Knowledgeable of my account information. He provided me with incorrect information that was even more frustrating than dealing with the original issue. He made accusations towards me that were untrue and my experience was one of the worst customer service experience that I have ever encountered. I want someone to call me regarding my issue and experience.
