Complaint alternatives to phone and live chat?

Hi,

 

Can anyone advise on what email addresses I can try directing a complaint to that may actually get picked up/looked at. Relates to products sold to us by BT Local Business (Devon & Somerset) but also Implementations team centrally. I have tried sorting / resolving with those teams but they have not just stopped responding to my emails and we are being billed twice (also spoken to Billing centrally who have said they can't do anything).

Having tried live chat several times with no luck and having spent another 45 mins being sent around the houses in call centres any advice on where and how to target this complaint to get it resolved would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Chloe

Good luck- we’ve been trying to solve this since Feb, had a complaint raised since March and it has now been passed to the 3rd complaints handler with little to no progress. Absolutely shocking that BT can get away with this. We will likely end up escalating this to the Ombudsman at this point.

Hi CS2024

 

Can you please send over a private message so I can take some details to look into this for you?

Its seems we are not the only ones - having been sold a new Cloud Phone system by BT Local Business Southern Counties, our problems started immediately, taking months for even a install date. Since the first bills in June, we have been consistently overcharged, by thousands of pounds, which we have obviously not paid.

 

We now have collections and billings chasing, and each time we have to explain again, which elicits an apology, and a statement that this is being with dealt with by the local business team. Our account manager seems incapable of dealing with anything, is barely there, and never answers the phone. We have even provided all the bill reconciliation to show what needs to be done but to no avail, which is made all the more complicated by a refusal to re=issue invoices, but to give part credit notes. And to top all that off, they cut off our broadband last week, which entails yet another long winded discussion with someone who apologises and says it will be solved by someone else.

 

We can't spend any more time trying to sort the problem, and will be looking elsewhere. I wish you luck, but we are 4 months in, and still have no resolution. I should be amazed BT can function like this, but somehow I am not.

Hi SimonB1

 

I'm sorry this hasn't been sorted. Can you please send over a private message so I can take some details and look into this for you?

Beth - following my message 4 weeks ago where our complaint had been passed to the 3rd handler, our most recent complaints handler has no dropped off the radar and stopped responding to messages and we are essentially in the same place we were in March when this complaint was opened.

I have exactly the same issue. The online chat keeps ending the chat before connecting me and when I have spoken to someone, they spout gobbeldygook which makes no sense... the bills are going up every month and bear no resemblence to the amount agreed, I am now at my wits end as local office help is non-existent. 

Can anyone send me an email address? I tried the one below but it's not in service....

Thanks in advance
