I purchased a new computer the end of December, 2007 (Model #FX530XG) and have had continual problems with hardware and with Windows VISTA. I have reinstalled the operating system 4 times, following a complete "crash" of the system. There are no technicians at the company who have correctly diagnosed or repaired the problems, yet they have indicated I have "hardware problems". When the issue was escalated to a Senior Case Management Engineer, Mr. Thomas Bakker, he could not solve the problems either. He refuses to replace the computer and has been extremely combative to deal with. He dominates any conversation with verbal abuse talking "over" any responses I have. In fact, he has threatened me and said I was to pack up the computer, ship it back immediately and in his words "you can figure out what to do about getting another computer." Mr. Bakker seemed to pride himself on gaining "the upper hand". <BR/> <BR/>The behavior by this Senior Technical Engineer should not be tolerated by ANY company, yet, when I brought it to the attention of a manager in customer service at Gateway, he did not respond. <BR/><BR/>If Gateway’s customer service policy fully supports the approach taken by Mr. Thomas Bakker to service my computer problems, I can assure you that the Company will soon be out of business!ResultsProhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336433653525808461noreply@blogger.com
