Trying to Move House and transfer services

carlo2904 · 01-04-2005, 17:39

I'm planning on moving home on 12th April and taking my broadband, tv and telephone with me.

To that end on 20th March I went onto the ntl website and filled in the moving home form. I got back an automated email response saying that the movers and transfer team will be in touch shortly to discuss my move.

After waiting this long I decided to telephone ntl today as I haven't had a telephone call, only to be told that there was nothing in the system regarding my request and the earliest a date to transfer the services was 18th April. (10 working days)

The lady I spoke to said that she would put a note asking for an earlier transfer on the form and someone may contact me next week if a slot becomes available, which I doubt I'll get a telephone call.

I've also registered a complaint about the moving house form not registering on the system, even though I received a automated email from it.

Do any complaints get logged? and will I get a response?

Whats the point of have a form if nothing get put in the system.

I just wanted to let off some steam.

I wouldn't use the website, I would have contacted them on the phone, even if it means up to an hour wait.

Hi Carlo2904,
Don't think your alone on this one, it appears e-mails to Ntl's housemove department often fall into a big black hole never to be seen again. I did the same thing before my move and after the automated e-mail heard nothing, when I ring to check- low and behold there was no record of my e-mail. It appears the safest way to get things sorted is to ring up and hold on in that queue!

But then again that doesn't guarantee everything going to plan either!
