Camcorder model # CCDTRV128 - Complaint
Review by LaloEd on 2011-02-12
LAREDO, TEXAS -- After contacting Sony Customer Service Rep Eduardo at 800-282-2848 he informed me the cost of repair would be $81.59 that amount was deducted from my bank 1-24-2011, he gave me intructions to sent the camcorder to Sony Laredo Repair Center, 10227 CrossRoad Noop Suite C, in Laredo Texas 78045, I sent the camera on 1-18-2011, he gave me a case# E47578169 & work order # 300279751. On 1-21-2011 I called Laredo at 866-357-6230 and talked to Fernado to see if they had gotten my camcorder he told me no they hadn't. On 1-28-2011 I called Laredo again on the status of my camcorder they told me that my camcorder was in shipping and that they would send me an email with the traciking number, I got an email so I can check myself what the status was on my camera, but when I type the case number it returned back saying Sorry not found, also the tracking number went into a black hole because I didn't get it. Also on the same day 1-28-2011 I called Sony Customer Service and filed a complaint with them about the run around I was getting. I called Customer Service on 1-31-2011 talked with Frank and he told me that he was going to put a priority request to Laredo for them to get back with me in two business, well four days past with no call. On 2-3-2011 I called Laredo and talked with Gabriel he informed me that my camcorder would ship tomorrow. I called again on 2-4-2011 the camcorder hadn't shipped., and still no tracking number had been issued. On the same day I checked my bank balance as I do three time a week, come to find out that Sony even though they had already deducted the cost of repair back on 1-24-2011
they had pulled out of my bank account an addiontal $81.59 plus another $93.59 and if that wasn't enough they out another $93.59 for a total of $268.77, after communcating with my sister in San Diego California she was able to communicate with Sony Corporate Office there in San Diego I got my money returned. On 2-8-2011 at 2 o'clock pacific time, I called Laredo again talked with Carlos he told me that my camcorder had shipped last Thursday 2-3-2011, I was happy for that. But with all of the previous run arounds I wanted to make sure, so three minutes later I called Laredo again and talked with Albert he told me my camcorder was in shipping. Two Minutes later I called again and Chris told me it was in shipping. I filed a complaint with the Attorney General of Texas, on 2-9-2011 also on the same day I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau of central Texas, and on 2-12-2011 I filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commsion. Where is the justice in all this can't a senoir citizen be protected from this greedy monsters, as long as their pockets are full nothing else matters.

How did they get authorization to take money directly from your bank account (just curious about that-I'd never have given them access to my account, but that's just me)? Did you finally get your camcorder back? You did all the right things so now it's a question of waiting for the results. Give us an update if you can.
