[Merged] Install nightmare, billing etc

I'm getting ntl 10mb installed tomorrow, and today i received my confirmation of direct debit. Thats all well and good... except i got TWO letters, each with different account numbers...

So i call the billing desk, got through to an Indian lady that i could barely understand or hear..... who told me that one of the accounts wasn't active, but she'd pass me through to customer services, to check.

So i speak to customer services, get through to what sounded like a 14yr old girl! Who promptly passed me over to the cancellations department, not even giving me a chance to reply!

Then i get through to cancellations, and was then told that "to have more than one account number is normal". To which i replied "yeah maybe so, but i've only signed up for broadband... no other services..."

Then there was silence, and i was put on hold for a further 10 mins, then he said "oh yes there was an error, 2 accounts were created, but i've cancelled one now" ........

GREAT START!

I'm suddenly not looking forward to my installation tomorrow as much as i was before

Ohh and I'll make a prediction now, that i wont get my £10 discount for ordering online, and ill have to make another phone call in a few weeks time...!

Re: Install is tomorrow - billing already cocked up!

lol well i'll soon find out!

Really have low expectations for tomorrow now

---------- Post added at 22:43 ---------- Previous post was at 20:55 ----------

OK I AM NOW F***ING FUMING.

I just checked my phone, and i had several missed calls, and a txt, from the lady who called me from ntl after i placed the internet order.

Apparantly... YES RS100 & Rob C, you were 100% right!!!!!!!!

So there's a good chance that i wont have it installed tomorrow.

Jesus christ.... i haven't even had the service installed yet and im already extremely p***ed off.
