Dell To Sell To Retailers

  1. Me and Dell by Quill_28 · · Score: 5, Informative

    What ever you do don't go through Dell Financial Services. My experience with them was so bad that I will gladly waste karma and time to tell people.

    Some things:

    1. I received a rude bill for $.05(no kidding)
    2. I was called numerous time after I paid off my entire bill saying I better pay or they would report me.
    3. One time I received a call asking me if I had the decency to return their calls.(After I already had)
    4. If you paid more than the monthly bill it would screw everything up on their end.
    5. Can't pay a bill on their web site, and they make it nearly impossible to pay over the phone.

    They are so bad I almost think they do it on purpose to squeeze out more money from "customers".

    If anyone has any info I would like to hear it.
