What a Joke Bing are !

This question is answered
I have now been trying to get my account activated from being deactivated over a month ago. I emailed them saying I can't because you have deactivated my account. First Pathetic answer - You have some ads that are ineligible, please change them. Err.... I replied saying you are an idiot who doesn't read my emails - I couldn't login because they de-activated my account. After a few days, they answer with your billing details are incorrect - this was blatently a lie as I have been paying them with the same details for over a year. I gave them the same payment details and they said my account is fine and I can login - No I couldn't. They said we will fix that - by fixing it they meant create me a new account with a new user name - they managed to delete half of my carefully constructed campaigns and can't upload from the desktop for some reason - brilliant. Next, I asked why I only had 8 impressions after a couple of days of being active. They replied that I have malware on my site (my hosting company checked and I havn't and Google Search works fine for me) - again either incompetency or a lie. I have asked for it to be escalated to a senior manager - didn't happen. Asked for an apology that my ads weren't running for the busiest sales month - didn't happen. One person offered me some credit on my account - didn't happpen. So for your own sanity - don't help Bing get any bigger. They are rubbish. I doubt they will publish this email. What a Joke.

  • Hi Bhavvy,

    Firstly I must apologise for the delay in completely sorting this out and I understand how frustrating this has been.

    We have identified an intermittent system error which has caused some accounts to be incorrectly flagged as 'Malware' and have been temporarily suspended. This issue has been escalated to our Techninal Engineering Team with the highest priority in an effort to get your account up and running again as quickly as possible.

    I understand that the UK support agent that is dealing with your support ticket is in constant email contact with you, and they will keep you up to date with the progress of the escalation.

    Please be aware that the Techninal Engineering Team are in the US, so we may not have a resolution today. We do have support staff in the office on Saturday, so should anything come in from the Techninal Engineering Team overnight, they will let you know in the morning.

  • I have sent an email. Lets see if I get a reasonable explanation and an apology. Please do not use the phrase 'thank you for your continued patience' as I will throw my laptop out of the window !

  • I think this has been fixed now. However, I have still not had an explanation as to why my account was first suspended/de-activated over a month ago. I did not receive an email so I didn't spot it for a few weeks. So how will I know if this happens again as no-one has explained to me why I was initially de-actoivated which caused all these problems.
