Office in an Off Licence

  • Sep. 12th, 2007 at 10:46 AM

BT continue to create an ever increasing pile of hot steaming shite over my situation.

Drone No.24 (mentioned in my prev entry) succeeded in getting me back to square 1 last Thurs i.e the wrong tel no. on my line which rings but not at my house (she will not be getting anything nice from me now)

OfCom came back to me last Thurs with a reference no. for my complaint and a BT tel no. for 'Referrals Dept' who deal with high level complaints and OfCom referrals.

I got through straightaway to this 'newly created department' (VERY VERY revealing have OfCom been threatening BT again?) and a case manager is dealing with things for us...seemingly all departments are saying it's a matter for 'Faults' to deal with - they're saying it's not...

As Terry put it across yesterday to Neil, our case manager, no engineer has ever been sent out despite our requests, get one to come and stick in what ever contraption they need into the phone socket to confirm the situation!

It's really day to day now.

Explanations and compensation later, right need a working phone line so I can do my job properly (told them don't even care if I they give me a new tel number). Mercifully my sis helped me move things into the back of my dad's off licence which is great but certainly don't want to be there very long.

You think BT is bad.... Telefonica is worse
Yes, as you may remember I have already ranted about telefonica in a previous entry but having moved in August, I wanted to transfer by line to our new flat, this seemed fairly straight forward with no obstacles.... Oh how stoopid can I be, I forgot that I was dealing with Telefoinca.... I first phoned then @ 6-08-07 to tell them I was moving and wanted to transfer the line. The girl English was poor but at this point better than my Spanish or so I thought she said it would take 10-20days to sort out... okay that´s fine... no she was lieing she had infact, not understood anything nothing had been I only found this out when as I called them to confirm the line was being moved... I then gave up with the "English Speakers" (I use this term in the broadest sense of the word) and went online and got a reference number etc. This was on the 22nd. Someone had tried to call me as there was some confusion over my address did they leave a message to confirm that they had tried to call me no they didn´t.
Both Alan & I finished work early on 2 days so we could wait for an engineer to come out ha ha ha! Nobody appeared apparantly there had been some "confusion" over the flat address... I had been speaking with some Spanish agents via email and telephone. This continued for the whole of September them phoning me missing their call no message etc etc.
We still have no line & as I discovered when I decided to call the "English Speakers" cringe yesterday "they" had actually decided to cancel my line and my order so I was now back to square one.
This has been the worse experience ever... Maybe we will have a phone line in for Christmas hahaha!

Oh my god, it's become messy since flaming broadband demand has increased over past two years and the administration monkeys can't cope. The BT OpenReach engineer told us that they are working night shifts to sort out customer connections

Get a grip Y...I can think of infinitely worse places to set up camp than in an off-licence and let's be honest after a few raids on the wine cellar who cares if there's a phone line or not!
