CONSUMER COMPLAINTS
On February 27, 2002, a Qwest technician came to Koehn Marketing to switch their service from McLeod to Qwest. The Qwest technician told Mr. Koehn that everything was hooked up. Later that morning, Mr. Koehn discovered that his 800 number was not working. When he contacted the two companies, each company blamed the other. Mr. Koehn states that the Qwest representative was rude and did not want to help him with the problem. The 800 number service was not restored until 3:00 P.M. the next day. Mr. Koehn states that because of the delay, the business potentially lost thousand of dollars in lost business. Complainant feels that Qwest and McLeod need to be accountable for this mistake. Complainant requests that the Commission take action to make sure that this type of poor service does not happen to other customers.
