Re: Land line dead in M22 area
 
So engineer was due today between 4-7. He has 15 minutes to get here. What happens if he is a no show? Do they work to the time or the job sheet? Not happy as I had to take time off work to get home in time.

So the engineer was due today between 4-7 and it has gone 7 and no-ne has arrived or contacted me to say there is a problem. Will anyone turn up? I am not happy. I had to take time off work to get here in time.

I was without a landline for over a week and got £20 off the bill.

Rang support...i will call you back in 10 minutes...that was half an hour ago. Very disappointed with the situation. Will be looking for some kind of recompense due to lack of service, poor service and wasting my time off work.

I called again in the morning. A lady in Sheffield apologised and gave me 10 pounds off my bill but did not say why engineer did not come. They came today, Friday and fixed the fault. It's not really all's well that ends well. I am now 2 hours down at work for having to come home from work to not have anyone turn up. There was no offer of compendsation or recompense for my wasted time, just a bit off the bill for lack of service. Not great, is it?

Not good service at all and VM will charge you £10 if an engineer comes and nobody is home.

I wonder if the agent who keyed in the order made a mistake? The £10 is the compensation, VM don't send out cheques unless the account is closed. they will only credit your account.

Glad it's sorted now.

Huh! I just checked my bill and the lady did not take 10 pounds from my bill, she took nothing, zip, nada, zilch. Customer service...where is it?
