Today, I called CS for assistance on my recent crashed HP desktop. The first serviceperson introduced two levels of payment. I choose the most expensive seeing that "for $149.99 included 6 months of service" with a 2nd level tech. Immediately the funds were withdrawn from my bank. The 2nd level tech lacked the knowledge to restart my computer, refused my request for her supervisor's help. Furthmore, finally acknowledge she lacked the skill to do so. Then demanded that "she will research the problem tonight and call me tomorrow at??time. This, is incompetence, ignorance and a RIPPOFF! I called my bank for dispute of paid non-service, took the computer to Staples for repair. I am a senior with a disability who purchased a new HP in 2006, A HP bundle with additional printers etc, for over $1000.00 last couple weeks. Also, introduced my 77y/o friend to purchase HP products. I (we) plan to call IL Attorney General, BBB,to report HP'. Also, demand a refund from HP for FAILING TO PROVIDE SERVICES! Please join me.

I just got off a 30 minute call with someone who barely spoke English. I called looking for a solution to a message that I got on my HP printer. After being put on hold for 5 minutes your agentr came back & told me that I either needed to buiy a new printer or give you $35 for the answer of which he wouldn't guarantee would work. Are your earning that bad or is this about your bonus??? You call this customer support?? If that's what you offer, I'll be glad to support a different provider. Mr. Feldman,

We were passed from person to person for at least two hours. Finally someone was to call back with in 24 hours. Guess what!! No Call!! Apparently they are only interested in selling - certainly not service We had similar problem concerning a fax machine. We were passed from person to person for at least two hours.

I have no faith in HP. I sent emails to all the executives and the CEO Mark Hurd this morning. I fully expect better service. Good luck to you.
