    The reason for my contacting you is because of a situation regarding my cable bill. I share this bill with two other people who were renting a room with me. Back in October of 2007, one of my renters had to move unexpectedly, thereby causing me to get behind in my bills. I did get the bill paid; it just wasn't by the due date. Cablevision always sent me a notice to let me know that I had until a specific date to pay said bill or the service would be interrupted. The last notice I received from them was for an interruption in service for January 9th unless they received 175.00, which I paid. New bills for my account are generated on the 15th of the month; today is the 15th and a new bill was generated putting my account one month overdue. When I spoke with a rep I was told that I had until the 17th of this month to pay the overdue bill. I explained that I could pay half by then and the balance on the 23rd of this month.

    The service rep told me that it had to be the entire amount of 175.00, so I asked her why I didn't receive any new notice in the mail which at least gives you a week before the turn off date, she told me that Cablevision isn't required to always notify a customer by mail. I would like to know what makes them exclusive of that, Con Edison, Verizon--even the gas company--send out notices advising their customers that they have until a specific date to pay said over due amount. I have had this account for at least 6 or more years, and I am very upset by this.

    I have been having problems with my TVcable service. There have been technical problems with the sound, and more recently, complete signal loss of both sound and picture on many channels. When I call Cablevision customer service, they say they have not had reports of problems in my area. This is a total and deliberate lie, since I have confirmed with several other customers in the area that they are having the same problems.

    Cablevision sent a technician to my home who checked the line both inside and outside the house and could not fix the problem. Then he had the nerve to put in a report with his department that the problem was fixed. It was not! The service is now worse than ever, with complete loss of several channels, and Cablevision has not compensated me one penny for the interruption of service and all the aggravation I have suffered.

    I am being billed about $100.00 every month for this service, and have not been reimbursed for loss of service.

    I am ordering Optimum 3in1 package from Cablevision. The appointment for installation was at 12/22/07 between 11-2. The guy came around 11:45 and spent 1hour, 30 min. to connect the internet, without success. He left the mess, disconnected the phone and was gone. In another hour came another guy. He connected the internet (2 hours time) and also tried to leave, but I stopped him and asked about the phone and TV. He was surprised and unready for answer. He asked if the guy who came before him brought another cable box? I said no. He said he will be back soon, but he left for the day, leaving my phone disconnected. I spent about 2 hours waiting for somebody to fix my phone and install new box without result. After that I called Cablevision and explained the situation. Answer was: The guys left for the day, and we can't help you today.

    The phone is still disconnected. Next appointment was today from 8 until 11. I had given my cell number to the representative because home phone was disconnect. No one called me to confirm appointment. I left my house because nobody show up. When I went back around 4:30, I am called again and explained the situation. They said they'd send somebody now. After few minutes,they called back and said the guys were gone for the day; your next appointment is Wednesday, Dec. 26.

    I am lost one day onSaturday; Monday I was unable go to work and lost $200 pay; and I cannot lose one more day because of another appointment--especially at a big holiday season like Christmas and New Year, and also I was going to be away for a few days. I decided to cancel those services and asked Cablevision to come back and restore the old phone and internet because I am totally unsatisfied from their service. Guys from Cablevision just ignore me and say "Have a nice day." I have no idea when my phone will be fixed, and when I can use them. Thank you for your consideration.

    My holiday season was broken; this is costing me and my wife few stressful days, many important calls from my relatives from another country around the world, and many tears of my daughter because she expected to watch Cartoon network, Disney channel, Nickelodeon. It was hard to explain this situation to her. The home phone is still disconnected and not working.

    I have had disrupted service with Cablevision since the beginning of October. This is my second complaint with consumer affairs and the BBB. The problem has yet to be resolved. Cablevision continues to send techs to my house, and they have all said the same thing, the problem is outside; however it still has not been fixed. I am not concerned anymore with my account being credited, I just want my service. That's it! This is not how business should be conducted. Cablevision is not upholding their end of the business agreement, as far as a customer getting good service. Especially not after a month and a half.

    I am beyond fed up; this has affected me beyond my control. It's very stressful, and I'm tired of calling cablevision and dealing with everyone and anyone who cannot and will not fix my problem.

    On 11/2 at 5:30 I went to go on the Internet and received internet could not be displayed. This is the not the first time that this happened. All of the lights on my modem were showing that I should not be experiencing a problem. Last month, this happened periodically and when I called they said that my modem was quite old and should be replaced. I stood online for hours, installed the modem, took several hours and was told this would remify the problem. At that time the operator said it was my modem for sure b/c the signal was VERY strong. Last evening, the operator said now it was not the modem but the signal. Each time I call they give me another excuse and it causes me to be inconvienced and loose time away from my employment, as I use the internet for work.

    The operator had me on the phone over an hour, again wasting time, b/c nothing was resolved. He said an technician would have to come down, now I have to loose more time away from my job and take off work. He asked me if my TV was working, as they provide that service as well, it was. The ironic thing is if I had more services with Cablevision, like the phone, I would not even been able to call and report my problem without internet service. This company is notorious for making excusing for their lack of expertise. Each time they come to solve a problem they cause another one and we the customer never receive conpensation.

    My bill was due in the amount of $88.09. I usually make the payment with my Visa check card, but I had trouble on the phone making the payment, and I stay on for half hour for assistant, so I made the payment on line and my cable was canceled. My payment was due 6/29/2007. I paid 6/29/2007.

    In January 2007 I requested to have my phone number ported. An appt. was made and the tech told me he was given the wrong info and was not informed to port a number. Again, in February a second appointment was made to port the same number, again my time was wasted and the tech said he was not told port the number. On several occasions from January -April 2007 I requested to have a manager to phone me, they never did.

    Since February 2007, Cablevision's tramsmission of their service has been seriously interrupted. Either the picture and sound transmitted would go blank, then fail completely. There were also re-boots that were initiated by Cablevision, causing the box to go dead, and not come back anywhere from 10 minutes to 8 hours or more. Once back, not all channels were always restored. I made 3 calls in February 2007 to the service number, 2/15/07 2/16/07 and 2/20/07. All I was told was to re-boot the box. I had already done that with no result. Cablevision has blocked service now, and I attempted to speak to a supervisor, who left a message at my work number at 12pm, but call back for this person, Leslie produced neither her nor her callback from my message. I refuse to pay for service not provided from February. No call from Cablevision, even collection, occured until after service cut-off on 4/18/07. No record of service calls per Cablevision from November 2006, though I called 3 times. Cablevision will not respond or address my lack of ability to utilize the service they provide, but they demand payment.

    cablevision has been billing me one month in advance, meaning that if I am charged a late fee it will be double the amount in interst at what ever they bill me for, and if I dont want the cable sevice next month I'm forced
    to except next months service because ive already paid for it,maybe they dont see what I see as a consumer, but
    not having the right to stop a service i dont want next month makes me feel as if my rights are being violated. please let me know if they are wrong and if i have a right to complane about it without be punished by them for this.im not saying that i dont want the service next month/ just the thought that im forced to except it if I want to leave the state for a few months who's going to enjoy the sevice i paid for? get it?

    Starting February, we have had fraudulent charges for porn movies ppaearing on our cable bill. First, Cablevision agreed to remove these charges as a courtesy and they also walked me through th eprocess of setting up parental controls. The only reason I even set up the controls is because at first, I thought that my little kids might have pressed the hot channles incidentally. The next month, the charges appeared again and it has been going on since then. I called Cablevision and spoke to several customer representatives, none of whom has been very helpful. Today, one of the reps offered to completely remove the ability to order any type of pay per view movies from my account whether I use parental control or not. Let's see if thisone will work. In a meanwhile, I probably paid close to $200 already because I don't want to have my cable cut off. If there is an attorney willing to do a class-action lawsuit, I will participate


    $200 in charges.
