Hi, please can someone give me the pre-installation teams number please.
i arranged for an installation between 1 and 6pm today. I got a confirmation text 2 days ago confirming this installation appointment. I’ve driven just under 2 hours to be here for this appointment and no one has turned up. I called the 0345 454 1111 number and they couldn’t put me through to the pre-install team who apparently cancelled my appointment today without telling me due to a problem on their end. Please can I get the number for their team and I am awaiting a call back from them at the moment but I have zero confidence in it actually happening.
kind regards,
Kris

Oh no much worse…
It says on my file that the pre-installation team had deemed my property unserviceable and had not only cancelled my appointment but also cancelled my account. I asked for compensation for the fuel that I wasted due to driving 2 hours here and back for my appointment, but and this is the best bit, they said that they can not issue compensation as I do not have an active account! Just brilliant.. so no service and out £50 for the fuel and wasted day.. love it…
Thank you for your help at least John. The only person that actually was able to help me today!

@KrisLeach7 yes I know, really annoying but as this is a domestic / non residential setup, there isn’t, and never has been any compensation for out of pocket expenses - as some people in the past have found who have relied on such a connection for their home business and email and discovered that there is absolutely no compensation for any losses incurred because of an outage, other than the £8 or so a day for loss of broadband. Alas since you were never connected up and hence never had a contract, even that is denied you!
Still, at least you know where you stand and might want to take it on board, should you ever consider using VM as a supplier in the future, or indeed, be asked for your opinion of them by another potential customer.
