Cablevision: how much more can I take?
This might be boring, tedious, or both. If you don’t have Cablevision for your internet/tv, or if you don’t live in an area where they are located, or you just don’t care, then move along. The rest of you can read more by clicking the link….

Been paying our cablevision bill online for years now. Just send it from your bank — all you need to give your bank is the account number and an address. And that way you can control when it gets paid (they changed the due date on us so I make sure it’s six days late every month now. No penalty for it, so why not?)

It’s May 23, 2008 approx 10:04. I had an all out conversation w/cablevision today that chimes along this complaint. I will be contacting B.B. on Monday.
I’m glad you didn’t let them run over you!
They’re trying to do that to me right now.
I’ll give you the short version: In 2002 I signed up for Cablevision service. Later that year I had to move to Florida. Had all my services terminated, gave new addresses ext.. and had the post office forward my mail. Yeah… Well I received my last bill from ConEd (forwarded to Fl/last bill received/last bill paid…thank u come again!) Same for Discover Card, same for Gas Company…great.
I move back to New York 2/28/08 call cablevision, and their first question was, have you had cable w/us before. I said “yes”…they say…r u sure, we can’t find you in our system. They ask for address, dates/years/ and finally Social Sec. #. STILL NO RECORDS…
Well, does that mean I can’t get service? “No” They say! We’ll be happy to give you the moon and stars! Yes.triple play is the deal, RIGHT??? WRONG
I get my 2nd bill and it’s 700.00 plus dollars??!!!
Yeah…
Apparently, they “FOUND” my old account and simply added it to my current account.
I haven’ heard from these people in so so many years and they told me they don’t “FORWARD” bills.
And, I have never heard of any bill collectors. I’ve pulled my credit several times over the past 5-7 years and nothing about any cable.
Last night, my cable was interupted. They told me in order to have “services restored, I must pay min of $509.00 which is “PAST DUE” from 2002????
I’m sorry what?
Yeah, I’ll be writing to the BB and Cablevision president. I even offered to make out a payment plan on this OLD OLD OLD balance and continue to pay my reg. monthly on top of it. Ms. Supervisor, stated that “Cablevision doesn’t work out payment plans!”
Can you amagine?
So, Cablevision, doesn’t forward bills, they have incompitent Bill Collectors, they initially don’t have my ‘old account’…but now they do…they add it to my NEW account and disconnect me because they want the past due of $509.00 from 2002??
Yeah…till Monday…stay tuned any advise, please email me @
