Try to cancell plan

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I got a contract with them, they said I could cancell it via cellphone. Now that Im in another country, they say I have to go to one of the stores in the country to cancell it or have someone with power of attorney and signed by a notary. Practically I have to keep paying the service I can not longer use.

The absolute worse

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I asked for data for internet. The sales person assured me that I was purchasing the correct package. Social media and Waze were the only apps working. I only had data, the ability to text and call when I had WIFI. DO NOT BUY THIS SERVICE!

Expatriates are not their priority

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My Claro wifi in Costa Rica was cut off because the bank card we gave them from our Costa Rican bank account expired. It is impossible to contact them (Claro) and no one communicates in English. We are not there to get another card and their website will accept money only from Central America issued credit cards. We are in Canada so completely hooped. Our Villa in Costa Rica has no wifi and there is nothing we can do about it. I would pay them if they would let me! Very frustrating!

Update

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
So far they took the payment they were owed with a Canadian credit card with the promise of a new contract coming so I can get services re-instated, however I have not received anything yet. Very slow, do not speak English. Not the service standards we are used to but this is Costa Rica we are dealing with from Canada.

Claro Costa Rica Nightmare

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Claro Costa Rica provided a great service in the central valley. That lasted until I moved to a rural location where their service (Internet) was unusable. So I went to their offices to cancel my services, keeping one number and closing the other. Following their advice I kept both numbers, but changed them to pre-paid. They promised a partial invoice and happily I left. Except, I couldn't charge the card. After consulting their service I went to a store to charge it from there. Failed again. So I called and was told, that due to a technical issue my service is both Pre-paid and paid after service. And invoices kept coming. I visited 4 times until I was able to get a new invoice that I paid in full. Finally my service was pre-paid. Then invoices kept coming and no emails, no calls, nothing resolved the issue. Now a collection agency calls me daily and emails threats to me, ignoring anything I say. They call my wife at her business, harassing her. She is not even a Claro customer. I never gave my consent to share my information and it is illegal to harass my family for a debt. The 2 invoices that came in never appeared in the system. They literally "never existed" and couldn't be paid. This is going on now for 9 months. And I am threatened by automatic call daily in my working hours. Do not be a Claro customer. Their customer care is a nightmare. They will share your information with the bullying/collection agency Americaservices.net - no site, no info, not an existing company you can actually contact, email or call.
