As stated in ViaSat’s previous replies, ViaSat does not have a payment method on file and therefore we are unable to issue any refunds to [redacted] The payment method on file was removed on June 15, Additionally, ViaSat collected payments on 2.1.2017, 3.1.2017, and 4.1.2017, equaling $in payments ?

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and find that this resolution is satisfactory to meWe are very pleased with prompt response and detailed explaination of costs, fees as detailed by businesses response and agree with ViaSats responseWe await USPS invoice but otherwise acceptable with our claim and wish to close as such Sincerely, [redacted]
Thank you for bringing [redacted] ’ complaint to our attention. The Customer Agreement, signed by [redacted] , an authorized signer, on March 16, 2012 and available at exede.com/legal, advises that customers are responsible for returning ViaSat’s modem and transceiver within 30 days after... disconnection. Failure to return this equipment will result in an unreturned equipment fee of $300.00, not including taxes. ViaSat supplies customers with a [redacted] box, free return shipping label, and illustrated instruction within a week after their disconnection. Our records show [redacted] called ViaSat on July 5, 2017 to disconnect her account, at which time she was informed of all disconnection disclosures, including the equipment return requirements. Per ***, the equipment return kit was delivered to [redacted] ’ front door on July 7, 2017. ViaSat received notice from [redacted] on August 3, 2017 that she was not in possession of the equipment return kit, and requested that one be sent out. Unfortunately, this request was not escalated correctly. We apologize for any frustration this may have caused [redacted] to experience. As ViaSat had not received the equipment, on August 20, 2017, [redacted] was charged $321.75 in unreturned equipment fees, but the payment failed. [redacted] called ViaSat on August 31, 2017 regarding the charge to her account, at which time she advised that she still had not received the equipment return kit. During this conversation, the ViaSat representative reviewed [redacted] account and the tracking information in ***, and informed her that a box had been delivered to her on July 7, 2017. [redacted] requested another one be sent out and the removal of her payment method from her account. It may take up to a week for a customer’s payment method to be removed from an account once it has been requested. We apologize if this was not communicated clearly to [redacted] . Unfortunately, the request for a new box was once again not escalated correctly. We apologize for any frustration this may have caused [redacted] to experience. On September 1, 2017, ViaSat successfully collected a payment of $321.75 in unreturned equipment fees from [redacted] . She called about the charge on September 3, 2017, at which time she requested to speak to a supervisor. During her conversation with the ViaSat supervisor, [redacted] requested that she be sent a box and that a refund be issued to her. When the ViaSat supervisor advised that a refund would not be issued until the equipment had been returned, [redacted] requested to speak to another supervisor, and her call was transferred accordingly. [redacted] ’ payment method was removed later the same day. During her call with the second supervisor, [redacted] was informed that a second equipment return kit would be ordered, but would not ship out until after the upcoming holiday. The escalation was created successfully, and a box was delivered to [redacted] ’ front door on September 6, 2017. The equipment was returned to ViaSat on September 9, 2017. On September 13, 2017, a refund check for $321.75 was approved to be sent to [redacted] ’ home address per the return of the equipment. She was informed of this on September 14, 2017. On September 19, 2017, she was advised that it could take 7 to 14 business days from the approval date for her to receive the check. [redacted] contacted ViaSat on September 26, 2017 to advise that she had received the check, but her name had been misspelled, rendering the check invalid. Per her request, her call was transferred to a supervisor for further assistance. During her conversation with the ViaSat supervisor, [redacted] was informed that a request for a new check would be escalated with the correct spelling of her name. On October 6, 2017, a new check was approved to be sent to [redacted] . [redacted] received this check on October 11, 2017, but called to advise ViaSat that her name was still incorrect. [redacted] requested to speak to a supervisor; however, there were none available. The ViaSat representative escalated a request for a supervisor to call [redacted] back. WE apologize if [redacted] did not receive contact from a ViaSat supervisor. [redacted] called back on October 19, 2017 regarding the validity of the checks she’d received, at which time a request for a refund was escalated. [redacted] called for a status update regarding this refund request on October 24, 2017, at which time she was informed it was still open and being reviewed, and advised of the 7 to 14 business day timeframe for refunds. Unfortunately, as it was not specified that a check was required, the refund request was rejected the same day as [redacted] ’ payment method was no longer on the account. [redacted] updated her payment later the same day. ViaSat received calls from [redacted] on October 31, 2017 and November 6, 2017 regarding the status of her refund request. During both conversations, she was incorrectly informed that the refund was still being worked. We apologize for any frustration this may have caused [redacted] to experience. [redacted] called a second time on November 6, 2017, at which time she was provided with the fax information to ViaSat’s Corporate Resolution Team so she could send a concern regarding the checks she’d received. As resolution to this complaint, ViaSat has issued a refund of $321.75 to [redacted] ’ payment method electronically as of November 7, 2017. [redacted] should be informed that it may take 3 to 5 business days for her to see it deposited into her account. Thank you for the opportunity to respond.
