Delay after delay. Seems such a common story for VM

Can anyone from VM on here confirm the reason why my install keeps getting cancelled on the day?

The customer services and pre-install just keep saying "cabling issues" but cannot confirm the actual issue, more irritating is that they keep saying they are awaiting permission from the local council to complete the works. Unfortunately for VM, I have evidence on the last two appointments that permits were fully granted so this is an absolute fabrication of the truth.

 

I have spoken to so many people on the phone at VM that I am at a loss. Currently had three Engineer home visits cancelled and 25 day delay. Now scheduled 9th of April but I have absolutely no confidence anything different will happen and that's before reading everyone else' stories.

Re: Delay after delay. Seems such a common story for VM

Just looking at the compensation,

Can someone from here discuss this in a PM?

Original confirmed date : 1st March

New date : 9th May

69 days * £5.04 = £347.76

3x missed manned installs cancelled <24 hours notice = 3 x £25

 

Total compensation = £422.76

It's the mention of them paying out money - they have had panic attacks and fainted

Either that or they are frantically going through all the T&Cs of the compensation scheme to come up with an excuse for why they aren't going to pay out!.

😂😂I'll report back if I get any resolution but I'm not hopeful of much without CICAS.
