My particular gripe is with BTbusiness as because of past experience I absolutely avoid BT on my private IT/coms needs. Unfortunately my company signed up to a phone/broadband hub system with them. The installation of which was far from painless but not as awful as I expected. The really annoying thing was that they also incorrectly signed our company up to a web hoisting service and kept sending an invoice for hosting our website. BT never has, never will and has not been asked to hoist our website! Having spent literally hours on the phone being passed round in circles and even chatting to someone in an internat chat room, who eventually reffered me to the phone merry go round I had already been on, I was totally unsuccesful in resolving the issue. My only recourse has been to just not pay the bill and ignore the increasingly more threatening letters from their in house solicitor. To be honest i was looking forward to my day in court but like all bullies they only pushed it so far.

Before Christmas we had a fault on the line which meant my Broadband won't work. To resolve this we had to contact BT via their call centre - at this point words almost fall me - they - Lied about the fault - Cut me off - Passed me to different departments where I had to repeat the same conversations - Bounced me between the phone and broadband businesses of BT - When Engineer arrived - he arrived at a different time than promised just luck we were in! - Even engineer admitted the call centres were quote completely **** and we have to work with all the time! BT are completely useless Rant over

When I rang them today to ask them re a cheaper deal for my two landlines, I was surprised to be told that I had been tied in for another year on a rollover contract that I knew nothing about, as I had failed to cancel before renewal date, and I would need to pay a penalty if I cancelled now. They said they sent me a reminder which, surprise, surprise, I hadn't recieved. I think this is a sneaky underhand way to retain customers and I will definitely be leaving them next year.

In my case BT did send an end of rolling contract reminder saying it would be renewed automatically unless I cancelled by phoning a particular number. I promptly did so, then switched to PlusNet. At which point BT sent me a stroppy letter saying that I had cancelled before the end of my contract and tried to bill me for a hefty sum amounting to many months worth of line rental. I had already cancelled my Direct Debit by then, so I reminded them of precisely when I had cancelled, and stood my ground. After several rounds of them denying all knowledge of my cancellation, and my reiterating the facts, they finally agreed that I was correct and sent me a cheque for the part unused month. So stick to your guns!

After years of being with this organisation the level of service gets worse - communication is impossible as you are working with individuals who are not based in the UK and they do not understand the problems - although that is their favourite phrase - I understand - but you don't cos you hear but you don't listen. Promises made to fulfill are broken and no assistance given whatsoever - another case of outsourcing is not doing you any favours.

Please can anyone help! Here is a summary. 3rd November 2009 - I telephoned BT and asked for Broadband and a Telephone Line. At the end of the third telephone conversation that day, the cost of the broadband was so expensive, I decided to go ahead with only the telephone. Begininng of November - I am amazed to receive a BT hub which I had to phone for hours about returning. BT bills for November and December. Long telephone calls to India and Uk to sort out problem. BT bills January, February and March - now for late payment - all agree there is no broadband account. 15th April - I telephone BT again who say that they know it is their fault - but THEY WILL SEND ME A CHEQUE FOR THE £8.87 and then please will I pay the bill of £8.87 and the matter will be cleared up. I am not very happy about this as this is effectively saying that the bill is mine? 16th April - I telephone BT again who say that a debt agency (Moorcroft) has been brought in on 6th April. They are very apologetic and say that the cheque for £8.87 is on its way and my credit reference will be fine as soon as I pay this bill (using their money) but there is no other way that they can do it. I am really unhappy with this as I feel they are doing it this way to cover up for their mistake. How can I get to someone senior enough to get the bill quashed? I feel I need some legal advice here and would like this to be referred to the ombudsman as this is the most appalling way for a business to behave. I now have names of all the people I speak to and they are all quite intimidating.

This unfortunately is all too typical of the utterly incompetent company. And Ofcom is pretty hopeless too at dealing with this sort of thing.
The Saturday edition of The Times newspaper each week has a columnist, Rebecca O'Connor, who tackles woeful companies like this on the behalf of readers like yourself who are getting nowhere. The clout of a big newspaper seems to work wonders at sorting issues like this out, so I suggest you try that. You'll find last week's article and her contact details here: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/money/article7093437.ece

Thank you so much for your comment - it is nice to know one is not alone. I just cannot believe that they can do things like this.

I do so sympathise. The way in which BT refer cases to debt agencies when the debt relates entirely to their foul-ups is truly alarming. Maybe a total failure of "regulation". Then you have to talk to someone in an Indian call centre who is clueless and can't understand a word you're saying half the time! In our case they said they couldn't stop the debt referral but if we paid it would all be OK. In the end I did manage to talk to someone in their Irish call cente but only aftetr threatening to take them to the ombudsman. I can't remember the procedures but if you inform them they have to take notice within a set period. We did even get a small compensation payment in the end though they will swear all the way down theline that they have no authority to do this.Like many others my experience has led me to vow never ever to use Bt again. They are an absolute disgrace!

Unbelievably useless. These people simply do not care about their customers. We gave 3 weeks notice of our intention to cancel our service. They cut us off within 10 minutes. Despite repeated promises they failed to reinstate the broadband, and only managed to give us an alternative phone number not our own one back. Then at the end when we had given up hope of getting the service back and phoned to tell them not to bother they tell us they won't cut us off for 3 days we haven't given enough notice! (we're flying out of the UK in 1 day). This company simply could not care less. It's like a many headed hydra where none of the heads talk to each other, and simply pass you from one person to the next. There's just no getting through to them. If I return to the UK I will never put any business their way again. These bastards make me sick - if I treated my customers this way I would be out of a job.

We were contacted to advertise in the BT phonebook for 2 different areas - we did not receive a book, books were not distributed, on line advert wrong - we now want to cancel 2nd directory not published for another 4 months and they will not listen - they do not return calls, emails are not acknowledged. Also their sales personnel call not identifying themselves and then it appears they are trying to sell BT products and services - very poor customer service

A letter marked "private and confidential" specifically to the CEO BY NAME! It will guarantee a response, and if you do not get satisfaction, always write back to the CEO and copy-in the minion who had to deal with it.

These people at BT are still charging £4.50 for the privilege of a debit card payment which costs them NOTHING.It is a fraudulent way of stealing money and why the Regulator/Government has not clamped down on this practice is beyond me.BT are making a huge multi-million pound profit from this scam every year.A bloody disgrace! Also, check your Broadband strength. I found that I was paying for 8mb and receiving 3mb!!!

Absolute idiots. I can't wait to get away from them, the worst service providers I have ever had to deal with. Incorrect bills when I don't even receive calls from them, no-one willing or able to resolve my enquiries. All my friends and colleagues have had problems with them too. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
