dont use BT in rented house

mukki

just warning people not to deal with BT if you are renting......


i had bt with the 6month broadband and line rental in my last place,


ordered it in oct 2005

rang to cancel middle march 2006, can't be done over the phone so...

got cancellation form signed and sent it back asking it to be cancelled on the 31st

it was still working on april 5th so rang eircom to close it, they cant because its through a reseller, they have no access

rang bt and after 20mins got told that the cancellation was recieved and that he can close the account for me now (em it was dated to be cancelled 5 days ago)

phone was still working a week later so cancelled it online on the bt site

sent a letter to BT complaints, got a mail back next morning saying

Thank you for your email regarding problems experienced. Please accept my sincere apologies on behalf of BT for any inconvenience that this has caused.
I can confirm that your complaint has been logged and has been issued with a BT reference no. ********* Please quote this reference if you require information relating to this issue.

OMG that must be so annoying.these companues really donot listen as my dads lost thousands because of them and nobody will listen to his stories because eircom know that they are wrong.

hope it gets sorted out.quickly.the best option is just keep calling them and try talk to a supervisor or manager

I always have stayed with eircom for line rental - not out of choice though, as I am with Euphony. Generally I find the easiest thing to do when moving out (which I've done about 4 times now) is to cancel eircom first and foremost. Once that is gone at least nobody else can plug in a phone and start making calls under your bill . . .

Esat are pretty notorious for customer service though - had some issues with them for dialup billing - problems vanished once I moved to broadband though.
