  I CALLED TO CANCEL MY SERVICES WITH COX BUSINESS BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MANY OUTAGES OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. I CANNOT CONDUCT ANY BUSINESS WHILE MY SERVICES ARE DOWN AND CANNOT IMAGINE HOW MUCH MONEY IT HAS COSTED OUR BUSINESS. OUR PHONES AND INTERNET GO DOWN AT THE SAME TIME AND I CANNOT ORDER ANY PARTS, CONTACT ANY CUSTOMERS, CANNOT PROCESS CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS, OR LOOK UP ANY INFORMATION TO REPAIR VEHICLES WHILE THE OUTAGE OCCURS. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS AN AUTO RENEWAL ON OUR CONTRACT THAT WAS SIGNED 5 YEARS AGO AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $1500 TO CANCEL OUR SERVICE. I HAVE A NEW COMPANY LINED UP TO PROVIDE SERVICES, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO CANCEL THE EXISTING SERVICE BEFORE HAVING THE NEW SERVICE ACTIVATED. I DONT THINK THAT IT IS ETHICAL OR DECENT TO HAVE AN AUTO RENEWAL WITH NO WAY OUT EVEN WITH POOR SERVICE. PLEASE HELP

  I am rejecting this response because: I have recieved verbal confirmation that they will let me out of the contract, but I have not recieved any written correspondance to have proof of this. I tried to email the representative back to let him know that I want written proof, but the email keeps coming back undeliverable- I am replying to the email that he sent me and there is no other email address in the email that he sent me. I can try calling him, but didn't want to forget to respond to this complaint.

  On February 16th, the end of my billing cycle, I was notified by email that I reached 90% of my data usage. On February 17th, I was told I reached 100% of my data usage. My bill for the month contained three $10, 50 gigabyte charges for going over my allowed 1280GB per month allowance. This is not possible as I only reached 100% of my users the day of starting a new billing cycle according to the COX email that I received. That said, others that I share the same service with are receiving much cheaper monthly premiums than I have been paying. Cox communications pricing and usage calculations are not accurate or offered fairly to their customers. When approached with this issue to their customer service department, I was being constantly placed on hold or the call dropped all together not to mention having to sort out the issue with representatives that do not speak comprehensible English.

  Almost 2 weeks ago I called Cox to make a payment extension. I was told by the rep I had until March 11, 2025, to pay the past due amount. My services were disconnected on March 7, 2025, for nonpayment. I explained to the rep that I had an extension, and he advised he did not see the extension and I needed to pay the remaining 51.25 for the bill. I had paid money prior but needed time to pay the rest. Luckily, I had 51.25 for another bill to pay the internet. I work from home and need to have the service. I called cox today and spoke with a supervisor name ****** who advised he does not give a last name for safety reasons who made it seem like I did not matter. I explained what happened and at first, he said he did not see that my services was disconnected. He eventually seen the disconnect and said Well the service is active now so what do you want me to do. He was rude as ever. He went on to say the rep did not set up the extension correct. That is my fault how!!! I work from home. That could have cost me my job. I work on the weekends and the department I would need to discuss things with is not open on the weekends. He then said Well, I can offer you 20.00 credit. The service is spotty. It resets itself every day and I explained that as well. This is not cool. I felt as if my money and time did not matter. I did explain to the supervisor that its consumers like me that pay the bills that keep him employed and even if he does not care, we should not ever hear or feel that on the phone... Shame on him. I did chat with someone and make a complaint on the internet. I spoke with ***** *. My bill is 181.00 a month. I had a lower plan. but they said I needed a higher plan and a new modem to run since I work at home. I know that is false because I have been at home for 3 years on the same plan. ***

  My company received a collections letter demanding $2,455.88 (which appears to be roughly 3 years worth of internet service from what I can tell), for which none is owed as we don't use their services, nor have we. I have spoken with them several times during their collection calls and explained to them that I do not and have not used their services for my company. They have been asked to produce documentation, including any contracts they feel they have, but have not been able to produce any documentation to date regarding the amount they are trying to collect. A dispute has been filed with the collection agency, explaining this in more detail. However, it doesn't make sense why I am receiving this in the first place.

  I have now had Cox Wifi since June of 2024. I have called twice now to complain of my wifi consistently shutting down and disconnecting my devices. It does this 5-15 times a day. The first time I called they said if the issue was not due to something I did, or something I could have prevented then I would not be charged the $70 technician visit charge. The technician came out and updated my modem, and they charged me for it. Not only did they charge me for something i did not cause, it also did not solve the issues. The other day, I called yet again because the issue is infuriating. The customer service representative said nothing was wrong and they would continue to monitor my wifi till the end of the day, guess what, it happened multiple times that day and no one called or fixed anything. So at this point i’m paying for the nicer wifi, for it to not work, and also being charged for a tech visit that did not solve my issues. Cox is not doing anything more to fix this issue, and is giving my no options to help my connection.

  We have reached out to our customer Esmie Williams to address their concerns, via phone call and email on February 19, and 24, 2025 on phone number ending in **** and email listed on complaint. However, our attempts to reach them have been unsuccessful.  Once we are able to speak with the customer and verify the account, we can address their concerns and provide a successful resolution.

  We have contacted the customer *** ******** directly to address her concerns and have provided a successful resolution. On 02/25/2025, an Executive Escalation Specialist spoke with *** ******** to discuss the issue. She explained that she was charged for a technician visit, despite reporting that the issue was not fully resolved shortly after the visit. After reviewing the notes, the Specialist reversed the charge and issued a $75 credit to her account. Additionally, the Specialist scheduled another technician visit for 02/26/2025 between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM.

  
  To ensure clarity, a ticket was created to address the issue. The technician's notes from 02/27/2025 indicate that a blown fuse was replaced, and a new cable was spliced in after identifying the problem. The technician verified that the outage was cleared and services were restored. The Specialist attempted to follow up with *** ******** on 02/28/2025 at 9:20 AM (CST) regarding the recent technician visit. Unfortunately, there was no answer, so the Specialist left a detailed voicemail explaining the reason for the call and provided his direct contact number for *** ******** to call back. Additionally, a  follow-up email was sent to *** ******** directly. The Executive Escalation Specialist has not heard back from *** ********.

  During the previous year before my agreement was set to expire I spoke with a representative to not renew my agreement again until I find more information on where I could switch to. I was under the impression we were on month to month since our bill went up and still not technician had bent sent to fix our phone line which has been down for over a year. We called today to cancel our services only to find out we were “auto” renewed again and can’t cancel services until 6 months from now. When I called them out for auto renewing our account again they told me it’s my word against theirs and their contracts are what we will be held to even if it was signed over 8 years ago we are still being held to the same agreement. I want to give a fair warning to those looking for services, Cox is predatory with their customers and up charges double or even triple of what another service can do for you. Before signing on with them please look elsewhere and don’t let this be you, there are better services with better customer care and a more affordable price.

  I had issue with my mini box not receiving channels. I made several calls to Cox Communications. I asked for new box to be sent to me...was told technician needed to come out. They did a swap during troubleshooting. I did not ask for any type of pro installation which I was charged 100.00 for. Spoke with ***** and chat with *** *.. They said they could not waive the charge. I was not given a reason why it was on my side. They state if their issue then no charge. Thank you.

  We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the BBB for giving us the opportunity to assist a valued customer. First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience **** ****** may have experienced. It is never our intention to cause any frustration, and we deeply regret any distress this situation may have caused.

  
  We have made several attempts to reach out to **** ****** to address her concerns. On January 28 and February 4, 2025, an Executive Escalation Specialist tried to contact her via phone and email. Unfortunately, these attempts were unsuccessful, and we have not yet heard back from **** ******. We understand how important it is to resolve this matter promptly.

  
  In our review of the account, we decided to waive any professional installation fees as a gesture of goodwill. A credit of $113.36 was applied to **** ******'s account on January 28, 2025. We hope this helps alleviate some of the inconvenience she has faced.

  
  If there are any further questions or if **** ****** would like to discuss this matter in more detail, we kindly ask her to return the Specialist's call at her earliest convenience. We are here to help and are committed to ensuring her satisfaction.

  
  Thank you for your time and consideration.

  In October of 2024, I attempted to cancel services. I was talked into changing services instead. During my chat, I asked if I later terminated my account, what the early termination fee would be, as was assured by the Cox agent that I would have no fees to close my account. In January of 2025, I closed my account, and was not told of any fees associated with closing my account. I then received a bill for $163.33. I contacted Cox explaining that an agent had told me I would have no fees for early termination. After over 2 hours of chats, and talking to 5 different people, I was told the best they could do was to give me a $20 credit on my account. I'm just trying to keep a company accountable for what an agent told me, even if the agent was wrong in what they had said.

  I am a Cox Communications customer and have been so for a long time. I have a cable tv account and I also have auto pay to this company for my bank checking account. (Or so I thought). I was told I owe a couple of months of back payments. I have always paid my monthly bill by direct deposit from my bank account. For reasons not my fault, my monthly dues were no longer deducted from my account like they have been in the past. I called Cox's customer service department and they were not at all helpful with me to solve this matter.

  So I cancel Cox around early October. They claim I underpaid on my last bill by 2 pennies. This is false, as I paid the exact amount they posted every time. They have not retracted this claim. I want the payment eliminated in full.
