Unresolved Case: Loss of Documents, Inadequate Compensation, and Poor Customer Service

Hello,

I am reaching out to share my disappointing experience with Apple's customer service regarding my case . Here are the key issues:

Loss of Documents: I was advised to sign out and back into my Apple ID during a support session, resulting in the loss of essential documents. No adequate solution was provided.

Compensation Issues: I was offered $199 USD as compensation, but this does not account for regional price differences. For example, an item priced at $199 in the US is £199 in the UK (~$248 USD).

Unprofessional Handling: A recent call with a representative was unhelpful and rude. When I requested escalation, I was informed my case was closed without resolution.

I have been seeking fair compensation (such as AirPods Max in Sky Blue) to account for the inconvenience and loss caused by this situation. However, I am frustrated by the delays, lack of adequate communication, and the dismissal of my concerns.

I would appreciate any advice or guidance from the community on how to address this with Apple effectively.

Thank you,

Aysegul

For the loss of documents, as advised already, restore from a backup. Ever since day #1 of computers this has been the only solution to that issue.


As for the other issues, the only advice or guidelines we can offer are for you to continue to work with Apple. We have no secret tricks we can tell you about how to get them to do something. We can provide suggestions for technical issues but apart from the loss of documents yours is non-technical.

Again, remember that the people reading your post are users just like yourself, not Apple. We are posting on a web site provided by Apple for users to help other users. I am just somebody sitting at home with a bit of spare time to help somebody else in the world who uses Apple equipment or services and may need a bit of help. None of us have any official connection with Apple and there is absolutely NOTHING we can do to help you with your request for Apple to do something. If you want Apple to do something you will have to speak with Apple.

Hi,

I understand that restoring from a backup is a common solution, but in my case, the issue occurred because a customer service member guided me to click on certain options, which directly caused the loss of my documents. When I sought assistance from another advisor, they managed to recover some of the lost files, but the original representative told me that nothing more could be done after loosing all data.

This situation was not a result of my own error but due to following instructions given by Apple Support. I believe this issue requires further investigation and a more appropriate resolution. I kindly ask that this matter be escalated to a senior representative who can address the mishandling and provide a satisfactory solution.

Thank you for your attention.

Dear Muguy,


I understand the importance of backups; however, my situation was caused directly by the advice given over the phone by Apple Support. I followed their instructions step-by-step, which resulted in the loss of all my documents. When I reported this, the advisor informed me that nothing could be done.

Later, another advisor managed to recover some of the documents, proving that the situation was not entirely irreversible as previously claimed. This inconsistency in support highlights my frustration and the need for further escalation to ensure proper resolution and accountability.

I kindly request that my case be reviewed in light of these facts, and that appropriate compensation is provided for the inconvenience caused by the initial incorrect advice.

Best regards,
