I bought a Dell laptop for our small business in Oct/2018 along with Microsoft 365 Business subscription. At the end of September, the subscription fee was deducted from account. Around November I started getting pop up on all Microsoft apps saying subscription expired. Over the months calls to both Microsoft and Dell went nowhere as they said I dd not have a subscription.
Recently I sent an inordinate amount of time with their agents trying to resolve. Finally, Dell told me they can't help me call Microsoft, Suddenly On Aug 3, 2020(nearly 2 months early) another subscription fee was deducted. For one day the pop ups disappeared and the next day they were back. Microsoft after 2 hours on phone said a 3rd party reseller bought Subscription and then cancelled my account the next day.
It was Dell Marketing L.P. a subsidiary of Dell located at the 1 Dell way address. Which is obviously how they got my information. It appears they are order subscriptions and giving them to other customers- either way the $106.24 that i have paid 2 years in a row has not given me my software.
