Engineer did not show up

[Joshu1]

So, to sum up my experience, I ordered a VM wifi package on 11th September. I received my contract summary documents and was given the date of 25th September (today) that an engineer will install the WIFI between 1-6pm. 

I've waited all day, for no engineer to show up by 6, after calling up, I've been told they cannot find an account linked to my address, and was transferred back to Sales. 

Sales then say to me that it looks like my order was never received by their system. All that was really said is 'sometimes this happens'. I'm confused how I can be sent contract documents and an engineer time slot, so I am left thinking everything is set-up, to now be told it did not get processed on their system and I now need to wait until the 9th October for the WIFI to be fitted. 

This is now an extra 2 weeks I am going to be left with no wifi, is there any way i can get any sort of compensation for this?

Yes, see

Keep detailed records of all VM's blundering (there may be more to come) to make sure you are paid what you are owed under the scheme.
