Wow They really screwed up.

I ordered the ZR4 once I saw people on here mention it. I called Escort and they told me I would be a list for it. Everything was smoothly and I kept calling about my status. I called back and it was sent out.


I was excited the unit came today and I open it up and I see the

Escort 9500CI

I'm like you got to be kidding. I see its 1,599.00

I flip a fit

I check online in my banking and I See they sent the wrong thing and charged me 1,600

I'm PISSED I called and told them they charged me wrong amount and the lady goes " oh i see you called in april we didnt even have it for sale then and there's no record of you even ordering/talking about it.

SO now i'm -600 and I'm going to get at least 400$ in over limit fees and I have no money

They offered for me to sent it back with their prepaid label and they would refund ONLY the 1600 so now I'm out 400 for their mistake

What do I do about this :(

call your bank; get them to reverse the charges; Was it a credit card order or what? If so call the bank and tell them you didn't order this item and have them do charge back.

They only CHARGED you $1600, why would they refund more? If your whining about overlimit fees call the bank, they'll reverse it when they see the refund from escort. Sheesh.

yeah it was a debit card order.

wow they really ****ed up I called for the unauthorized amount and my bank said that it may be hard since they never sent me a conformation on my order.

So now I my bank put 1,100 back on my card since they minused the 449.00 for the ZR3.


Also the lady checked my VISA card and she saw about 3 charges for 449.00 that were denied.


So looks like Escort Screwed up and they wont admit it. I'm going to call now and let them know that information.

I should just go buy a ZR3 in a local store and return it and tell them they sent me the correct one. since they just loyalty ****ed me over :(

Don't mean to slight your problem, but DJ would love to have the 9500ci. Why don't you just sell it to him? :D

KustomEagle
05-15-2008, 04:58 PM
keep the 9500ci and argue w/ the bank until they refund ALL of the money escort charged THEN put a block on your account so that they cant charge you any more (or cancel that debit card and get a new one).


I had a similar incident happen to me, granted for not nearly as much but the company kept trying to charge me money after i told them to stop so my bank reversed the charge, refunded my money and blocked them from charging me any more money.

make escort eat the loss; it's their f'ck up

I have to say I'm usually the first when it comes to flipping tires & burning cars so to speak. However in this case you are dealing with a reputable company, that will make things right.

At the end of the day, I have a feeling you won't be out a dime and all will be fine.

I am sorry this happened though, and I know i'd be literally ****ting bricks if my account was that deep in the negative. But Escort has good people and I'm sure they'll take care of this.

Well: Lets hope so, I am certain if they see the hoopla and the backlash it could cause if they do end up screwing him over, they will make things right.

Lets see how good their CS really is. (This really could be a great example of how much they actually care, and how good their CS has gotten, OR it could be an abysmal failure.) I for one hope and think it would be proof of their top-notch CS.

Hi maple50175,

Hopefully after this fiasco Escort will pay all of your overdraft charges if your bank doesn't take care of the charges for you. I can fully understand you being very, very upset since your account was wiped out and seriously overdrawn. On the other hand, you will be forever remembered here as the first customer (aside from beta testers) that we know of who received and was holding a shrink wrapped 9500ci RD system!

http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/8192/0515081704hh1.jpg

On top of this, I think that Escort should send you the ZR4 for free in order to restore your consumer confidence in their company.

Actually what I would have considered Top-Notch customer service from Escort would have been: Give him back all his charges, and pay any overage fees that have been incurred by him (if they bank doesn't wipe these clean), AND THEN let him KEEP the 9500ci (since he had it already) for the $449 that he paid for the ZR4.


THAT would be REAL customer service, since lets face it, a 9500ci probably only costs them a bit more then that to make, and overall they should understand its petty-cash to them to make right for their customer. Especially since their customer is a member of this forum, and this will be a highly public case.

I don't think they will do this though. At least give it to him for the price of the ZR3 (a little rebate for his hassles).

I for one, will be extremely dissatisfied with this situation if all they do is credit his money back, and give him a ZR4 at full price. (After all that should have happened in the first place without any incident.)


I may start looking towards the PASS system over the ZR4 now, if Escorts Customer Service doesn't do anything for him. Hope Escort is listening, because they may just lose a customer (in me).

KustomEagle

I would have kept the 9500ci and made the bank undo the charges.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. This is why you never ever ever use a Debit card. If you want cash from an ATM, use an ATM card. If you want to make an online purchase, use a credit card with the Virtual Account Number feature - with a VAN, you can specify a dollar limit on the card when you generate it. You could have specified a $450 limit and Escort could never have charged $1600 onto your virtual credit card.

I hope you get the mess all straightened out quickly. It really sucks to have some incompetent f*cks accidentally clean out your bank account and cause all your other scheduled payments to bounce. :evil:

Even if that's true, he can still get a secured credit card. There's no need for anyone to put their money at risk with a debit card.
