Clear Rate Communications
reviews and complaints

The sales person who sold the phone service promised a $15.00 a month savings to my phone bill. I spoke to them about having a bundled service with Comcast that include phone, internet and TV...they said I would save $15.00 a month and they would take care of every thing else. I was committed to a one year contract by agreeing to their service. It has been a disaster ever since. First my phone was dead, second the technitian told me to go out side and see if there was power(unsrew a box at the front of my house and plug my phone into it and see if there was power). I would not agree to this and asked for a technician to provide this service. If Clear Rate agreed to take care of everything why did my phone not work and why was I going out in below zero temp. to trouoble shoot an issue. They said if a technician came out they were going to have to charge me. I said my phone worked until you came into the picture. They backed down and sent out a technician...there was a problem outside.
I complained when I received my first bill, it was not $15.00 less. With tax it was more than my previous bill. I call and complained and said I was concerned. I had not yet received my Comcast bill and was concerned that that bundled product would be effected. They noted my complaint and said I could call back when I received my Comcast bill. Yesterday, I received my Comcast bill, it went up $23.00 for unbundled product. Now, because of mirespresentation of the Clear Rate sales force, I am not saving $15.00, I am paying $80.00 a month more because I switched to Clear Rate. I called yesterday and complained, I was promised a call back from Shannon and I asked to talk to a supervisor and non of this occured. I want out of the contract without penalty. Clear Rate misrepresented the savings and their service.I want immediate attention to this issue

On The third call they finally told my mother to answer yes to all their questions. They seized her phone number on December 16, 2009. We were not able to get verizion back until December 28, 2009. All of the 12 days my mother had no phone service incoming or outgoing then they have the nerve to send a monthly charge bill of 61.96 includes tax. HOW CAN THIS BE WHEN YOU RECEIVE NO SERVICE? Now we receive a bill for 118.30 a one time charge is added to the amount $99.00 . THis is ridiculous I have filed a complaint with the BBB of Detroit and Eastern MIchigan. Contacted local tv station for help and am going to file a complaint with the Attorney Generals office as this should not happen to anyone else. I think they only have one employee and his name is Nicholas in the office. He gets louder when you ask to speak to supervisor.
