You just can't make this kind of poo poo up.

quote:

A Comcast customer received a shocking bill recently, and it wasn't the dollar amount that stood out. It was the name on the bill, which someone at the company had changed from Ricardo Brown to "rear end in a top hat Brown."

Consumer advocate Christopher Elliott wrote on his Elliott.org website that Lisa Brown of Spokane, Wash., had called the company to cancel the cable portion of her family's bill to save money. But as we've seen in the past, Comcast doesn't make the cancellation process very easy for the customer.

Brown was transferred to a retention specialist, who then tried to persuade her to sign up for a new contract.

“I was never rude,” Brown told Elliott. “It could have been that person was upset because I didn’t take the offer.”

When the next bill came, her husband's name had been changed to the profanity. Making matters worse, Brown told Elliott that calls to the cable company and even a visit to a Comcast office couldn't get the name changed.

That guy should make a Facebook account called rear end in a top hat Brown because I think with that bill he can prove it's his legal name and they can't ban him

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
That's hilarious.

Why stop at a credit card? Adopt a bunch of hungry kids and default on payments for food. Then Dr. rear end in a top hat Brown, PhD. will have to ship all the hungry kids back to africa where they won't know how to speak Vietnamese and they can't get a job at the TV factory. Dr. rear end in a top hat Brown, MD. will wish he never canceled his cable because without cable to sell him new TVs his lost children will go hungry yet another fiscal year.

i really hope that this is happening because some comcast employee found out that theres no way to track who changes the names on account and immediately told everyone they worked with

e: wonder how many people have just been attaching checks to and sending in bills with their names changes without them noticing it lol

Comcast has always solved any issue I ever had with them. Calling them is a pain in the rear end, so chatting with their customer service online is the fastest way. Fer reals if you don't use their online chat you're a dipshit.
