How can I get BT to honour a contract?

Hi, apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place but there doesn't seem to be a 'general enquiry' section?
Anyway, having been a loyal customer since 2006, in June 2008 I received an e-mail offering me a discount and choice of free gift if I renewed my Broadband contract for 12 months and on top of that, a free Hub V2 if I renewed for 18 months.  Being generally satisfied with the service I accepted and followed their links and signed up.  I chose a free MP3 player as I was going on a long flight later that year and decided even though I dont really need the HUB it would come in handy if anything should go wrong with the existing HUB V1 and duly signed up for 18 months.
July 1st 2008 I received a thank you from BT for renewing e-mail with confirmation that my Samsung MP3 player should be delivered by 8th July 2008.  It also stated I should allow 28 days.  So I waited and waited, nothing.  Sometime in August 2008 I started chasing it up.  After being sent from pillar to post and back & forth as nobody knew a thing I finally got some satisfaction when a lady from some unknown BT section promised she would deal with this matter and send me e-mail confirmation within a couple of days.  About a week later I finally received the following e-mail
[quote]Dear Mr xxxxxx,
Thank you for your patience regarding the delivery of the free MP3 Player.
Should you still have not recieved the product, please can you contact 0800 48 48 44 option 3 option 2 to speak to the relevant department direct.
Kind regards
Gemma xxxxxxx[/quote]
What followed is a bit of a blur to be honest.  Sometime between then and now I did receive the HUB V2.  I did call the above number which was totally useless as I recall being redirected to the main BT options area.  Somewhere along the line I did recieve an order? number for the MP3 player but it seemed the only person who knew about this number was the person who gave it to me.  Anyway, my long flight came and went and I no longer had any use for this missing mp3 player and decided it really wasn't worth all the hassle of trying to chase it up.
Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago and somebody from BT called me about renewing my contract haha.  I told him I had no interest in renewing until BT honoured the previous contract just hoping he might offer me some sort of compensation package on top of a discount.  Obviously he had no idea what I was on about and that was that.  I left it as happy to continue for the time being knowing I can end services any damned time I like.  Well my happiness just ended today when I checked my online banking and discovered I've been overcharged (i'm being polite here) by about £30 (presumedly for this disgraceful one-off alignment charge I've been reading about since).
Well enough's enough and it's time BT did honour their contract!  I've tried the calling BT route and failed miserably.  Any advice would be most appreciative.
PS Sorry my post is so long and despite any signs of anger in my post please be assured it's nothing personal towards any of the helpful staff here

Hi Grumpy_MoFo,
Thank you for posting. Having read you post, I do think it will be unlikely that we will be able to get you this MP3 player. This is due to the length of time that has pass from this was on offer. I would still like to look into this for you. Please could you email [email protected] with you BT account detail, please also include a link to this thread.
I will look into this and reply to you directly.
Cheers
Paddy

  • How can I get order quantity for a contract

    Hi
    I can see ordered quantity on a contract screen (VA42/VA43) but would you please tell me in which table or tables this is stored or how I can get ordered quantities against a contract
    Regards
    Javed

    Dear Javed Ihsan      
    You cann't see the order quantity for contract, you can only see the target quantity for the contract.
    However you can even see the order quantity for contract but it will not have any value -(VBAP-KWMENG).
    You can only seethe target quantity for a contract-(VBAP-ZMENG).
    For the release order you have order quantity( VBAP-KWMENG)
    PLease check and revert
    Thanks&Regards

  • How do I get BT to honour its offer?

    Hi.
    I've just tried to order BT BB and a hub phone for the reduced price of £39.99, as quoted in the section 'The Legal Stuff' here (Scroll down to see it).
    http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayCategory.do?categoryId=CON-TOTAL-BB-R1
    It's mentioned in two places on that page - the third sentence and further down under 'BT Home Hub'. Here is the transcript of my conversation with BT over the chat service (I've removed the actual names).
    How can I get this sorted?
    We are now routing you to one of our chat team...
    All the chat team are currently assisting others. Your estimated wait time is 0 minutes and 34 seconds. Thanks for your patience.
    You are now connected with BT
    BT: Welcome to BT, the most complete broadband provider. My name is BT.
    BT: Can I please have your BT Telephone number & Post Code & House Number to check Broadband availability?
    Me: Hi. I am in te process of ordering Broadband option 1 on your website - your Autumn deal. Your site says (in 'The Legal Stuff') "Featured handset £39.99 with Option 1 and 2, included with Option 3. There are some phones mentioned during the ordering process but the hub phone is not one. How do I order it at the same time and get it at a lower price?
    Me: Tel XXXXXXX YYYYYYY
    BT: I see, you want the hub phone?
    Me: Yes I want to order a hub phone at the same time as the BB package but I can't see how to. I'm right at the end of the ordering process now.
    BT: There is no option to do it on the order form at the moment
    BT: But you can do it via bt shop online
    BT: Also you dont need the hub phone to be able to make use of broadband talk
    BT: As you can use any phone with the hub
    Me: But if I do it that way, it will cost me £68
    BT: Yes use to be able to add it via the order form but has been taken out as it comes free with only option 3 broadbandf
    Me: But your site says I can have it for £39.99. You can't just ignore that.
    BT: Can I please get the web page for that
    Me: Here it is. Scroll down - its in the para titled 'BT Home Hub'
    Me: http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayCategory.do?categoryId=CON-TOTAL-BB-R1
    Me: Actually its mentioned also in the second sentence of the first paragraph
    Me: Sorry, third sentence.
    BT: Sorry one moment please
    BT: Yes just seen that Me and was speak to one of the managers about it, its an error that hasnt been corrected as the handset is £69.99 not £39.99
    BT: Sorry about that
    BT: Not all part of the site has been changed
    Me: Hmmm. So you have a statement in your 'Legal Stuff' section and you're not going to honour it? Surely that's part of my contract with you?
    BT: I would transfer you to the manager
    Please wait while I transfer the chat to Manager.
    You are now connected with Manager
    Manager: Hi Me
    Me: Hi
    Manager: I understand that there is an error on the website, I completely apologise for it
    Manager: But we are unable to give you the Hub Phone for £39.99, we simply do not have the power to be able to sanction that
    Manager: The Hub Phone is available at just under £69.99 on the BT Shop online
    Me: THat's a problem. I'm going to suspend my order until I get this sorted. I don't think you can include an offer in your Legal section, surely a part of the contract and just say ' oh, sorry, we're not doing that bit of the contract now'.
    Manager:
    Click here to view the Hub Phone
    Manager: It's not an offer Me, it's simply a 'miss spelling'
    Manager: I'm sorry you feel that way
    Me: These two statements are a missspelling? :Featured handset £39.99. Requires BT line/similar and payment by Direct Debit. Featured handset £39.99 with Option 1 and 2, included with Option 3.
    Manager: Yes, it's wrong and I will be escalating this to ensure it is corrected
    Manager: Human mistakes unfortunately
    Me: Who can I talk to to try to persuade you you to honour your offer?
    Manager: This offer cannot be honoured, It's not an offer Me, it's a mistake on the website and I'm very sorry about that
    Me: So you won't get me a contact or even a department to contact?
    Manager: You are welcome to speak to 0800 800 150 however I'm not sure you'll be able to get it honoured
    Me: OK lets leave it there for now. But just to finish - your website 'The Legal Stuff' section is obviously where BT lays out the agreement between itself and it's customers. You can'simply make that ststement and then say, no sorry, we aren't doing that now. eg you wouldn't suddenly not supply the home hub or charge for it after saying it was free, would you
    Manager: I understand where you are coming from however it is unfortunately a human error
    Manager: I'm very sorry about
    Manager: Enjoy the rest of your day.
    Manager: Take care
    Thank you for chatting with us
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks Hamish.
    Normally I would agree with you but I think the way it's presented is different to an invitation to buy. For example, elsewhere in the 'Legal Stuff' section it covers nill-charges for Direct Debit payments, the fact that the Hub is free for new BB customers, the unlimited evening and weekend qualifying numbers and periods, the fact the unlimited wi-fi is included etc.
    If you agreed to take this package, would you accept it if BT didn't actually comply with any of these statements and they simply said, sorry, that was a mistake - we don't actually do that? Surely you would be a bit miffed to say the least. I'm sure you would say, hang on, you can't charge me even though I'm paying by Direct Debit - it should be free  - it says so in the legal section.
    Well, that's how I view the statement about the cost of the Hub Phone. It's more than an invitation to buy because it's in the legal section. To my mind they're making it part of the purchase contract. I expect to get free evening and weekend calls if I sign up, so I also expect to be able to buy a hub phone for £39.99, because they're both mentioned in the legal section. If that section isn't part of the contract with the customer, why is it called that?
    Do you get my point?
    Is anyone likely to help me out on this forum, or should I raise a more formal complaint somewhere?
    Thanks again.

  • I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

    i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

    Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • How can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?

    how can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?
    ok,consider my property file name is pro.PROPERTIES
    and it contain
    8326=sun developer
    4306=sun java developer
    3943=java developer
    how can i get the all keys & values from the pro.PROPERTIES to hashtable
    plz help guys..............

    The Properties class is already a subclass of Hashtable. So if you have a Properties object, you already have a Hashtable. So all you need to do is the first part of that:Properties props = new Properties();
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream("tivoli.properties");
    props.load(is);

  • How can i get all values from jtable with out selecting?

    i have one input table and two output tables (name it as output1, output2). Selected rows from input table are displayed in output1 table. The data in output1 table is temporary(means the dat wont store in database just for display purpose).
    Actually what i want is how can i get all values from output1 table to output2 table with out selecting the data in output1 table?
    thanks in advance.

    You could set the table's data model to be the same:
    output2.setModel( output1.getModel() );

  • I am trying to change or add the email address which is attached to my itunes account. I keep getting a notice saying email address is already verified for another Apple ID. Im sure its one of my devices. How can I get my current email address added?

    My itunes account is attached to an email account that I no longer have and cannot retrieve. I have been having trouble with purchases made to my itunes account and want to view my purchases. The support center said that they would email me the purchase history. However, I don't have that email address. When I go to change my email address to my current one, I get a message in red saying that "the email address is already verified for another Apple I.D." I'm sure it is one of my devices as we have 4 ipods and 2 iphones. How can I get my account to use my current email address? If one of my devices was registered using my current email address as it apparently was, do I need to figure out which device that is and remove the email address from that account? I'm so confused. I just want ALL my devices to use my current email address. I need to replace the old email address with my current one. How do I do that?
    thanks for any assistance.

    Your best bet would be to try resetting the password to the account that you would like to use via iForgot
    Once you log in to that account change the email address to anything, it can even be fake its just a placeholder
    After you do that you will be free to change your old email address on your appleID to the new one that is now free to be used as it is no longer attached to the other account.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • I downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    i downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    hi philly, thanks for getting back to me, especially on such a busy day.
    I don't think that's quite the issue though. I bought an album and it appears in 'my purchases' within the itunes app. Yet, in order to listen to the music, i must use the 'music' app and in this application, there are only three tracks displayed at any one time from my downloaded album.
    I can 'download all' from the 'my purchases' section but that still doesn't help, it just keeps the last three tracks downloaded in the music app.
    I have the 'icloud' enabled and wondered if it had anything to do with that.
    i have successfully downloaded another full album totally into the music app, but this first album is causing me problems.

  • How can I get an mp3 into the music section on iPad without using a computer?

    The situation is this: I have no access to a computer. The iPad is all that I have to use. So I have never synced it to iTunes or anything.
    I am trying to make a video using the movie making app Pinnacle Studio (iMovie doesn't do enough for what I want) and when it comes to choosing audio files, it shows what's stored in the music library of my iPad.
      But here is the problem. The audio is a track I have sent to my own email address as mp3. I want to be able to save it from email into my music folder so that it can then be imported into Pinnacle Studio. But when I click on the mp3 in the email it gives me only options to open it in iMovie or Dropbox. How can I get to use this piece of audio when I can't access a computer? Thanks a lot for any help.

    If you don't have iTunes you will need to buy the song from the iTunes store and download it that way. If it is a custom track you may be out of luck.  The only way to get a song on your device without iTunes involves jailbreaking it. 
    iOS is set up to prevent people from emailing each other songs, videos, movies, books, etc. This is how Apple got their contracts with the content providers by promising that they would do what ever it takes to prevent people from sharing content that they didn't pay for.
