I unfortunately had the happenstance of using Presbyterian Hospital in the past. Unlike the other local hospital here, Carolina’s Medical Center (CMC), Presbyterian charges far higher prices for everything and anything that they can. Case in point, five years ago I had a son and it was a normal childbirth at Presbyterian Hospital. Then...
I was looking with my wife to replace on of our cars that was coming off of lease. The lease was almost up and we had to decide whether we were going to buy that car or get another one. I decided I wanted to get another car, especially seeing some of the rates...
Verizon Wireless 8603 Concord Mills Blvd Concord, NC 28027 When I went into Verizon tonight, I had quite the adventure! Last week I had decided to agree to the early upgrade from my Voyager to the Samsung Rogue. I had bought the phone 6 days ago and I have had nothing but trouble. Here...
Recently I purchased a two-year-old Cadillac Escalade with low miles from CarMax. The truck was beautiful and everything I had wanted at a fairly decent price. I might’ve been able to haggle a better deal from one of the local car dealers, but the nice thing that CarMax was I didn’t have to negotiate...
UNCC University Applebee’s 8700 J. W. Clay Charlotte, NC 28262 My family and I had gone to Applebee’s for a dinner in honor of my brother’s birthday. When we had gotten into the restaurant, the hostess took our name and told us that it was a 15 minute wait time. We had all gladly...
I took my car to a Jiffy Lube in Endicott, New York. I just wanted a oil change which was about due for my vehicle. I had a Chevy Corsica that was in great shape and very low miles on it. I had previously bought this car from an elderly grandmother that had her license...
This complaint is about something that’s not exactly recent, as it actually occurred several years ago, but it still makes me angry that this even occured in the first place. Several years ago, I was a local area used car dealer and had taken a Acura Integra into the local tire Kingdom to have...
I recently purchased the Shawn T’s Insanity fitness workout DVD from Amazon.com. The price was better than what I’ve seen on the late-night TV infomercials from Beachbdy – it was going for around $90 rather than the full retail price of $129 or so. Amazon has this supposed A to Z guarantee program that...
Do you have a website or were you thinking of building one? By now I’m sure you’ve heard of article submissions and press releases. Well when these come to mind there only a few names worth your consideration. Ezinearticles.com is the obvious heavyweight in the article submissions and ezines category. And for press releases...
My brother was watching TV about a few years ago and saw a catchy advertisement for Phoenix University (aka University of Phoenix) and their online classes. It stated that he could take classes part-time and online. Being that he had a family, a job and an irregular schedule this sounded great to him. So...
Last summer I had planned a trip to New York and needed to rent a car becasue I couldn’t rely on the car I have. I had looked around at different deals and prices that were the cheapest and would work with taking the long trip. I had looked at the companies around Charlotte,...
You’d be hard pressed to drive through any neighborhood and not see an ADT security sign somewhere. ADT has become one of the largest home security and protection service related companies in the United States. Unfortunately they’ve put revenues above all else. They have one of the worst customer service and billing reputations out...
I am a valued customer of Dish Network. Every publication, email, voice recording, etc tells me so. If that is the case, why does Dish Network advertise reduced plans below the cost I am paying and not allow me to take advantage of it? I called AT&T who my Dish Network package is bundled...
If you have had medical tests done in the last several years you’ve probably run into a company called Lab Corp. Well, if you have insurance you would be fine most likely – but I guess now is that all depends on the levels of your insurance and what they do not cover and...
As a businessman I have stayed at a lot of hotels over the years. One of my favorite hotels for business days used to be the Hampton Inn. It was a great quality hotel at a great price. You had a nice continental breakfast in the morning, cozy beds and nice locations. Many of...
I went to Wal-Mart the other day with my kids and purchased some groceries and other things that we needed. One of my children wanted a plastic rowboat toy. He cried until he could have it. So I let him hold onto it and I tried to look at the price but there was...
Complaint: I happened to send my wife over to Hardees to get some of their burgers for the family. She came back and when we opened the bags and boxes that the burgers were we saw that the outer parts of the bottoms of the burgers were covered with a furry, black and purply-grey looking...
I took my vehicle in to the Hendrick Honda service department on South Boulevard in Charlotte North Carolina. I thought this would be a quick and easy transaction and repair and I would be out on the road quickly – boy was I wrong! I just wanted a routine oil change and a tire...
I was approached by a door to door salesperson for AT&T. They were promoting the companies “bundle” where I could save money by bundling my Internet, phone, and television services into one through AT&T. At the time, I only had my phone service through AT&T. I would have to go to AT&T’s DSL connection...
