Cox Cable takes unauthorized payment from bank account then goes into site maintenance to hide.
I woke up early this morning because of some neck pain, and since I could not sleep, I checked my Email, and bank accounts, just to find my checking account was overdrawn because of a $78.02 charge taken by Cox Cable in the middle of the night that was not authorized by me, nor due.... So, I attempted to login to my account in order to find further information, only to be met with an notification that the site was under maintenance. This is the same thing I got when I tried to contact tech support, that they could not access my account due to maintenance, and was disconnected. I do not have a cable internet bill due until January 24, so it makes no sens that they would jump the gun, and withdraw the payment so early from my bank, which they do not have authorization to do without my expressed consent. I did not have enough in the account at this time to cover it, so they left me with a negative balance, and have made themselves impossible to contact. What a bunch of criminals. They should all be locked away, and not allowed to have a monopoly as internet providers, but they feel they can do whatever they want because they are not affected by competition, allowing them to steal as much money as they want from their clients, whenever they feel like it!!
Cox Returned Payment Fee Policy
Where can i find the current policy on the returned payment fee. I can only find a 2019 residential policy on your site that states a $25 fee. However, $30 seems to be the current fee being charged. Also, why does Cox feel the need to charge their customers this fee. If a customer has insufficient funds when making a payment but still corrects and submits a payment on time; whats the issue? I get writting a bad check, but in todays automatic digital world it just seems unethical. I didnt create an expense of money or time on Cox's behalf. This failed transaction is no different than my card being declined at a store. Side note, your customer service reps via chat couldn't find your $30 fee policy.
