A Website That Empowers Consumers

They say that necessity is the mother of invention, I say ‘they” are right. After spending 3 hours trying to straighten out an order with my wireless carrier yesterday, I was ready to blow a fuse. I spent 3 hours listening to crazy, nondescript music while on hold waiting for yet another customer service representative told me he or she would take care of it and call me back. Ya think they called me back? At least they could have played Christmas carols while I waited instead of cabbage music. But ya think Christmas carols would be politically correct?

It all began when I took advantage of a mail promotion about which it seems, the wireless company failed to notify its customer service representatives. Anyway, I bought into the promo – naive dolt that I am. I ordered two of the phones that were advertised. One was free the other was not – basically a buy one get one free deal. However, when my order arrived from UPS, I had been “upgraded” to phones that cost $80 more and neither was free.

The final straw was when one of the customer service reps asked me to send her photos of the promotional flyer for the free phone. Really? Like I’m making all this up? Oh well. I’ll be a sport. I dutifully scanned both sides of the flyer. saved them as JPEGs and sent them via email to the representative. She promised to call me back when she got the pictures and fix things up for me. She never called back and things never got fixed up.

That was it. I had had it. The pressure valves in my head were about to explode. But every dark road has a light on it somewhere. All that frustration and exasperation led me to Elliot Advocacy.

It’s a gold mine for frustrated consumers who are sick and tired of being on the treadmill that is trying to talk to a real human being and to talk to a human being who has the brains and the authority to fix problems.

We grayed out the email addresses, but you’ll find them posted at Elliott Advocacy.

In my state of aggravated exasperation, I found corporate executives’ contact information listed on Elliott advocacy. I promptly wrote an email to 3 different vice presidents explaining the merry-go-round I was on. And within 30 minutes of sending those emails, my phone rang. It was from a lady who worked for one of the vice presidents. In less than 30 minutes she had all my problems solved, My order was corrected, my phones upgraded for free, and I received a credit on my bill for all the trouble I had. And this happened only because I finally got the eyes and ears of someone who could help.  Now I am a happy customer again.

If you are having a big problem with a product or service and you find yourself trapped in an endless rat-maze of misdirection while trying to find a real person who can help you, Elliott Advocacy publishes the email addresses of corporate executives. And if you have a serious problem with an order, a service or a product, and you contact the right person, there’s a good chance you’ll get it resolved… and pronto. The hard part is finding the right person.

The maze that is customer service for most large companies, was put in place for a reason. To take care of minor complaints, simple problems and the ever-present folks out there trying to get something.
