Our service provider send us mail(in Japanese) that our fire alarms lifetime has expired, they need to do some service. To get the service, I will have to install a mobile app. And through mobile app I will have to send an email to schedule. All was good until I ran the software and advertisement start to pop, advertisement that I can't avoid. Well, I am paying for their service, I don't want to see advertisement. I call them and refuse to use the app, they said they will call me back and never got a phone call from them. I don't know how to retaliate. And it is making elephanting! angry!
I do not fear of failure. I fear of giving up out of frustration.

Oh, but "It's the way of the future!"
Kick up a fuss -- not only here, but everywhere.
Every year, a whole bunch of companies comes to the conclusion that they can treat their customers like sh1t, because of this thing called the Internet.
The only way to make them stop is by complaining loudly and publicly.

I have found excellent success by calling the president of a company after a couple rounds of the old 'run around'. Take notes as to who said what, etc. Then call and complain; amazing how quickly problems can be resolved.
My all time best was in the mid '80s. I had ordered a large Oldsmobile car (3 small children required car seats in the rear bench). After 4 months the dealer was pressuring me to skip the options I ordered and just accept a vehicle in their stock.
I did a little research (pre-Internet), and called the president of General Motors early the next morning (8am his time, 6am my time). Spoke to his secretary, explained my predicament and noting that American car companies were complaining about poor sales while I was trying to buy one.
Two hours later when I arrived at my office I had a message to call the regional vice president of Oldsmobile. He apologized for the delay, had found my order and moved it up at the factory, that it would be built on Wednesday the following week, and be delivered the week after!

congrats! more control of work/life (need some discipline tho), everything is claimable expenses...
remember that after the job there may be a period of no pay (to the next job)
if skills are in demand should be OK, but think carefully before putting down a down payment on a BMW... sometimes the economy doesn't indicate which way it's going to turn too.
