      I am writing to formally lodge a complaint about a recent experience I had with your customer service. I encountered an issue where my debit card payment was declined due to an incorrect zip code being used. Given the importance of having my email services functioning for my business, I contacted IONOS customer support to rectify the issue.Unfortunately, the customer service representative I spoke with was extremely rude and unhelpful. When I asked for assistance to expedite the process, the representative bluntly told me that nothing could be done. Furthermore, when I requested to speak with a supervisor, my request was refused. The representative also declined to provide the address of IONOS headquarters in the United States, suggesting I look it up myself. The interaction ended with the representative threatening to hang up while I was still asking questions.I have never experienced such arrogant and dismissive behavior from a customer support representative. This level of service is unacceptable, especially considering the critical nature of email services for my business operations.I kindly request that this matter be investigated and addressed promptly. I expect a resolution that ensures my email services are restored without further delay and that appropriate action is taken regarding the conduct of the customer service representative involved.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

      Hello Villy, 

      Thank you for taking the time to submit this BBB Review.

      We're sorry to hear your efforts to reactivate IONOS services were not sufficiently prioritized. We always aim to provide a quality product and excellent support.  From your own account, this goal was not only missed but also mishandled.

      We regret the poor experience in speaking with our agents and not answering all questions to your satisfaction.  We have forwarded this information to our ***************** Team for quality and training purposes. This team will properly address the agents handling this case and advise management for areas of improvement.  We have sent an email to the email address on file with additional information regarding your concerns.

      Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced, and we thank you for bringing these issues to our attention.

      Thank you, 
      ********
