FORMAL COMPLAINTS
In January 1996, U S WEST told Complainant to call back closer to the move-in date. Complainant made arrangements for dual service in February for activation on February 23. On February 26 Complainant called U S WEST and was informed that there were no available lines and that there would be an excess construction fee of $1,100 before service would be installed. The excess construction fee was reduced to $570.84. Complainant moved into the new house on April 6, 1996. "Not once did U S WEST personnel suggest giving me a cellular phone to use until we had full service. They were rude and not very helpful during this situation. In fact, one time I was told that I should expect this because I have moved to the country. Excuse me, but 1 1/2 miles from a convention center does not mean country to me. Plus, I called them in November of 1995 and told them we would be moving in approximately the first of April 1996. They had 6 months to do all the paperwork and order the supplies....We were without telephone service for 81 DAYS! From April 6 - June 25, 1996....I am requesting that U S WEST compensate us [in the amount of] $1,551.71. There is no excuse for the way in which U S WEST handle[d] our situation." (Staff: LH/CH)
