I'm currently transferring from UTV to BT and the whole thing is taking a bit longer than expected. BT lost one of my forms, found it and then lost it again. All without telling me. UTV threatened to block the transfer until I returned the modem. They forgot to note that it was returned two weeks previously and they ignored the fact that that was a new term and condition which was not active when I signed up - yet another of UTVs scams which involve changing terms and then charging people.
Finally I decided to email BTs complaints section and got a quick enough response. Unfortunately despite being a "valued customer" they got my name wrong. In fact they gave me a second name. So now I don't know if the response was actually for me or someone else...

I'm transfering from Wanadoo/Freeserve to BT in 10 days time and keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe I'll uncross them it might be easier to install and work things out. Good Luck with your transfer!
ReplyDeleteCancel it, cancel it. BT are appalling. You're billing will get screwed up, they will overcharge you, take money from your account without having sent any invoice, and when you try and complain, they'll ignore you for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks, and you'll end up trying to get ComReg to intervene, and finally you'll relent, defeated, and pay them whatever they want to end the madness, and say those four words you never thought you'd hear yourself say - thank God for Eircom. Or maybe it's just me...
