Offered a deal.

Rang in to definitely give notice on 9th August . Talked me into letting they try to match a deal I had got with Youfibre.

Eventually agreed an offer of £37.01 for 1gb broadband ( volt customer ) along with £150 account credit.

Credit wasn't mentioned on the contract paperwork but told that would be credited later.

To cut a long story short , eight  further calls to retentions team and still not sorted .

Request to retrieve the phone conversation put in . Told that if that is what was offered it will be honoured.

Now seven working days later doesn't seem to be any attempt to retrieve the call .

I feel like I am being strung along until I am out of my 14 day cooling off period .

If they had told me day one that they couldn't agree a deal  I would have just left there and then.

So far 185 minutes on phone calls and told to give to it a few more days , it has been referred to a manager ?

If they genuinely honour deals agreed to why does it need to be referred to a manager ?

 

 

  • You are indeed being strung along until safely into day 15 (BTW I make day 14 as last Friday). If you are still in the 14 day cooling off period then cancel and switch to the good folk at Youfibre.

      Thanks for the reply.

      Due to a mistake the new contract started on the 19th so I still have time to give notice although I am only giving them until Thursday the 29th to sort something out.

        Thanks. DPA passed.

        C-260824116 - this is your complaint reference.

        Don't worry about the 14 day period, that'll end when we have found the resolution to this case.

        I'll be in touch asap as I am investigating what's happened.

  • Hi fred2420 

    Thanks for posting and welcome to the community.

    Sorry to hear of the credit dispute. It sounds from what you've said we are currently investigating the issue and would come back to you when they have an update on it. 

    I can assure you there is no attempt to 'string you safely into day 15'. 

    I will send you a PM now to assist further.

  • Don't listen to them Fred, they absolutely are trying to string things out until you're past the 14 day cooling of period. It's what they do!!
