Guys, My experience with inow has been the most unpleasant one. I have been an inow customer for more than a year. In the past there were several problems like my files getting lost, my emails disappeared because their disk crashed and they keep no backups. Somehow I took all these problem in stride. Whenver I talked to will finding out what happened, he simply will not respond. You keep sending him emails but alas no response. Why is he doing that, I have no idea. Does not he feel responsible, I guess not. Still I remained a loyal customer for inow despite the behavior of Will. The final nail to the coffin was struck when I went on vacation for couple of months. The a/c should not have been charged earlier as we talked but it was. There was nobody to pay the bill on time. On my return I found my credit card cancelled, my credit history screwed up. And again I was talking to Will Claren. I told him in the humblest possible manner about the problem. As per my credit card co. in case he agrees to credit my a/c , they probably will reinstate my a/c. Will said yes he will do it. That was the end of the conversation. For one month, he said that he is doing the the credit but when I will talk to the credit card co. they will say no it has not come through. I keep assuming, may be it takes time. Again I will send emails to will to inform him that nothing has happened but there was no response from Will. Finally when me and the credit card company got tired of playing these games and then we decided to have a three way conversation conference call and now our dear Will tells the credit card Co. that he tried but it will not accept it while according to the credit card company there should not have been any problem, so finally credit card co. told will to mail the check to me. It was over a week, I did not received the check so I called Will again and the guy says I MAILED THE CHECK and SLAMMED the phone down. I wanted to ask when did he mail the check, did he have my new address but before I could talk the phone was off. I called him again but he will not talk. I talked to Henry and told him that I was quite upset about Will's behavior and the next thing I find when I try to log in that my account has been cancelled without any reason. Somehow I fail to understand Will Claren. Does he have any ethics, any morality, any sense of responsibility. Did anybody teach him the first lesson in customer service. Does he understand that he is expected to reply to his emails and phones answering messages and not just ignore as per his own wishes. Does he think that he can cancel any body's a/c as per his own whims and still expect the business to grow. May be he just want to mint while internet is shining but he no idea of the customer and what it means to grow the cutomer base. May be he has forgotten about that Customer is always right. Look at SOuthwest, not only they have the low prices but also the best customer service. Losing one person may not make as much of the difference but it is a starting of the chain reaction that could result anything. Think about it Will Claren. The reasons I wrote all of this was just to warn you guys that it could happen to you. SO think again the next time when you renew it as there are lots of better alternatives out there in the market today. Thanks for reading it. - a really disapponted person with the behaviour of Will CLaren.
