I believe that my greatest…
I believe that my greatest disappointment lies in lack of communication. I had a hard drive disk failure and was referred to Outsource. I initially had difficulty in getting on the online registration to set up a project. I then called and spoke with Ashley who explained that there were some issues with the site. She helped me set up a project, and I paid $150.00 for emergency service. She sent me a label to affix to my hard drive for overnight delivery, but when I arrived at the FedEX office was told that label "expired" for overnight. When I called Ashley confused, she said she had never heard of such a thing, but as it turned out, since it was coming up on a holiday weekend the disk wouldn't be received until the following Tuesday (this was a Thursday). At that point I should have been refunded the $ 150.00 charge. I then had to call on Tuesday to see if the disk had been received because at no time had I been made aware that communication with me would be through the online portal that I had had trouble with. I received an email from the lab indicating that disk was received and in evaluation and they would get back to me. I anticipated that would be via email again. Another day passes and I learn after another phone call that they are waiting for my acceptance before they proceed with data recovery on the portal. Once again, due to issues with the portal I needed assistance getting in and at that time I accepted and also chose the $600.00 option because I was desperate for completion as my livelihood depended on this. Again, issues with the portal causing my card to be charged 3x for the $600.00, causing it to reach it's max. The extra charges were eventually backed out. But it was a full week before I received the data that I had now paid almost $1000.00 for. I feel very strongly that Outsource Recovery should offer to refund the $ 600.00. It was a clumsy, inefficient process, mostly due to issues with the online system. I will say that Ashley was a patient, competent person to deal with.
