How to make a formal complaint - no one seems to b...

Hi all - I'm new on here and have joined to try and find some help or answers since BT don't seem to respond to 4 formal complaints...  I have had broadband issues for 4 months - the connection drops off - usually overnight (I work online on nights doing shift work) and is unreliable at the best of times.  I have had an engineer out - a new hub etc.  THERE IS NOTHING WRONG  with my set up as it works perfectly fine when it wants to.  It is my belief that BT are doing some work on our lines as other people in my village have experienced similar issues.  I have informed BT that I want some explanation/compensation for my loss of work as a result of the connection dropping off.  I have informed them that I will be cancelling my direct debit and not paying my most recent bill because they have not honoured their contract and given me satisfactory service - let along customer service.  My complaints have been ignored. I even spoke to an operator 2 weeks ago who wanted me to pay my bill and I listed the reasons why I was not prepared to until I had received an explanation from BT as to why my broadband was not consistant.  He advised me that he would pass on the information and get someone to contact me. No one has.  I have now been cut off and the only direction the automated telephone system will put me in is to pay my bill and be re-connected.  I am feeling undervalued as a customer - stressed with my lack of reliable broadband which I rely on for my work as I work from home - and frustrated by the fact I cannot talk to anyone.  If anyone can help me I would be so grateful as I'm at my wits end.  many thanks in advance.

Hello susannah75,
Welcome to the forum & I am sorry to hear of your problems with BT.
Perhaps moving to an alternate service provider could be a preferable option for you.
If enough people were to do this perhaps BT would have to revise and offer a more acceptable level of service?

  • How to make a formal complaint to Ofcom about BT?

    How long does it take for a phone line to be activated for a new built property? In our case a new phone line takes 2.5 months already and is still not completed. And absolutely no line over the xmas and new year!
    This is the time line of our phone line order:
    08/10/13: order placed, engineer visit scheduled for 24/10/13;
    24/10/13: engineer no show, no notification about the status;
    between 24/10/13 to 08/11/13: numerous phone calls to BT, was told to chase developer because the problem was with them, BT openreach has to complete a survey on the outside before everything can move forward;
    08/11/13: been informed by order management team that we will have an update by 15/11/13, obviously didn't happen;
    18/11/13: been told the order got delayed again and the external planning was scheduled to complete on 03/12/13, engineer visit rescheduled for 06/12/13;
    05/12/13: got a text message informing us the order got delayed (for the 3rd time) that there were 2 blockages outside for the line and we would be updated on 14/12/13 while another team from BT was telling me the engineer visit is going ahead; took an hour clarify that there would be no engineer visit and we would be updated on 14/12/13;
    13/12/13: spoke to BT order management again, was assured that BT openreach engineer was onsite to clear the blockage, and we would be given an appointment on 14/12/13. no further delays was expected;
    14/12/13: no phone call from BT all day;
    16/12/13: called BT order management, was told BT Openreach engineer only managed to clear on blockage and the other one was schedule for 24/12/13, which is xmas eve! So this is a BT way of telling us that we won't have a phone line during the holiday season and an order of a telephone line will take into the new year!
    This is 21st centry Britain we are talking about and a suburb London home we try to have a phone line installed. I am sure it won't even take that long in a remote island in the Pacific ocean! I wonder how regulators like Ofcom can turn a blind eye on the appalling services we get from the providers in this country. Would appreciate if anyone could let me know how to make a formal complaint about BT in this case. I don't care if it is BT openreach's problem, it is BT's collective failure for customer as a corporate!!!

    Understand it might be a openreach issue and new build usually takes longer - and that's why we have been more than accommodating so far. the prob is that our contract relationship is with BT not Openreach. if BT cares about customer services, they  they should be on the case with Openreach (since the latter is their supplier, there must be a service standard between the two otherwise Openreach could be the best place to work because they can unilaterally decide how long it takes them to do a job!)
    Along the way we had msgs from BT order management saying we will update you on this date. Don't call us before that date but they failed even to give us the update on the day! Surely this is the culture of not delivering unpleasant msg.
    I am 6 months pregnant and on top of another young child and work, having to get stressed about the whole fiasco is just not on! Let alone all the time and money wasted on this just for the basic household service!!

  • Re: how to make a formal complaint

    Hi
    Having gone round and round with so called customer services.  I too would like to make formal complaint.  Email would be easier but the link  provided by another forum member brings up a page that doesn't seem to work?? Does anyone know of one?
    We  have been a customer with BT for less than a month - our phones have not worked since we switched to BT and the TV we are paying for doesnt have any bbc or main itv channels.  priceless.  We''ve tried various 'unhelpful' customer service routes who promise to call us back to sort it and never do. I've even emailed head of retail at BT to let him in on the 'secret' of his shocking customer services set up. But still no response.
    I couldn't be more amazed at the brick walls that are put up in the name of wanting to be no 1 for customer service.  What a joke.

  • How to make a formal complaint?

    I would like to make a formal written complaint. I have contacted Apple by telephone and was told to complete the form on apple.com/feedback, which does not provide sufficient space to make my complaint. I have visited the store and was told by the manager to visit the same website. I was also advised and provided with the stores contact details. However, the manager did state that the complaint would remain internal within the store.
    I do not find that this is acceptable and I would like to make a full written formal complaint, without having to send a letter to the US.

    I would like to make a formal written complaint.
    Were a tuxedo while using a word processor to write the letter.
    If the form on the web does not fill your needs send a letter to Apple. You can find their address in Cupertino California quite easily.

  • How to make manager approve more than one request in one time in SSHR

    Dear All,
    Anyone has an idea on how to make manager approver more than one request in one time in SSHR??
    for example, manager is having 20 requests to approve on Change Pay Function, he don't want to check one by one and approve it, he want to approve the 20 requests directly from one time, is there any solution for that??
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Adel,
    As Vignesh has mentioned we don't have any standard functionality which will allow bulk approvals. We had same kind of requirement in performance management where the business was asking for a bulk approval feature which should be available to Skip level manager for approving the rating suggested by line manager. We had created a custom page which will list all the notifications and user can select the ones which S/He wants to bulk approve and click submit button. Internally we had called the workflow with item key and other required parameter and do the approval.
    You can have a work with your technical guy and can work on the same lines.
    Thanks,
    Sanjay

  • I filmed several takes of the same scene for a movie. I trimmed the best clips from each take and put them into the project screen. However, I can't figure out how to make it flow seamlessly as one scene. Can someone please help me??

    If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
    click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number.  You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers.  A camera might help.
    Good Luck

  • How to Lodge a Formal Complaint against an Authorized Reseller

    Hi All,
    I just had a bad experience with an authorized reseller in Macau (details on the incidents will be added at a later, since I will be going back to the store today to try ratify the situation again), and would really want to make a formal complaint against its service (not the product). Is there anyway that I may formally contact Apple to express my frustration, since I could not find any link in the Apple website that direct me towards something close to a "complaint departments".
    Thanks in advance

    If you still feel that you need to contact Apple after your visit to the store, I would send a letter to Apple corporate headquarters (address in upper right corner):
    http://www.apple.com/contact/
    And, you might want to address the letter to the person listed here:

  • I wish to make a formal complaint about when i called through to your customer support department.

    I never make formal complaints but i feel really compelled to do so right now because I was so upset by the service I recieved I wasted 2hours and I even broke out in hives I was so fustrated. It was really annoying when I was speaking to the lady because she kept going away from the conversation after I was answering a question. I would answer her request/question then sit there waiting for her to communicate back and the line was silent after approx a min I would say "hello?" and she then would continue with the conversation. Or the line would go silent for ages and after sitting there I would say "is anyone there?" and she would again continue the conversation. I felt like she was very very distracted as she still didn't seem to understand what i wanted after 24mins!!!! I was thinking maybe she's talking to someone, maybe shes trying to have lunch or maybe she's reading a really good book at the same time??? What every she was doing she wasn't helping me and she wasn't listening to me. My problem was a relatively easy one. I just needed to get past the "Adobe Acrobat Trial" popup as it didn't find my installatiion of my new purchased Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
    After listening to your hold music till I wanted to scream I hung up and continued to try and solve the problem myself online. Luckily I found the "Live Chat Help" a customer service officer (I think his name was Punhub- something like that) assisted me with professionalism and quickly. He made me feel maybe it will be ok to continue to purchase & use Adobe products, as after speaking to the girl on the phone I wanted to never use any Adobe products ever again.
    This ended up to be a 3 hour ordeal instead of a 7 minute product installation and a 10min max customer support assistance (even though of course it would have been better if I didn't need to use customer support and my installation to have worked right, but i understand sometimes things happen).
    I just want the customer service offices that are on the phone to pay attention to us (their customers) and actually listen/understand our problem, instead of taking a nap during the process.
    Sincerely, your customer
    Kristal Johnson

    An added comment to extend graffiti's info a bit, your experience is similar to how many of us ended up here looking for answers. In that sense, why not ask your question here and see if you get an answer. The response time will not be immediate, but it is often more directed to your need from other users that have either experience the problem or have seen the problem from someone else. The long term knowledge here is rather large as a result and often is more than calling Adobe. Of course, there are some questions we would still refer you to Adobe for an answer since they are not related to using the product.
    Welcome to the world of other users.

  • How to make stop and start in one button

    Hello All
    My Question is how to make button that when I prees it first time work as stop button and when I press it second time work as start button, I hope if I found my answer soon.
    thank u all
    Best Regards

    It's probably not worth to add all these sequences, local variables, and parallel loops. Here's a somewhat simpler version, showing two possibilities: 0:using events, 1: not using events. Pick one!
    There are many other possibilities. It really depends what else there is.

  • How to make separately editable blocks in one widget?

    How to make separately editable blocks (Width, Height, BGColor,...) in one widget?

    There's an example widget for a 5x5 table which allows you set the color of different areas differently.
    Download the sample files at the bottom of the MUCOW documentation page:
    MuCow Documentation
    The sample named 'Table5x5.mucow' sets different parts of the widgets to different colors.

  • How to make an applet the default one ?

    Hi everybody,
    I have a NXP JCOP41 72k JavaCard, Eclipse 3.2 with jcoptools 3.1.2, jre 1.5.
    I have read in a lot of places that it was possible to make a specific applet the default one, meaning that my applet will reply to APDUs as soon as it is powered up... I don't want to go through the Card Manager and select my applet everytime it is power up.
    How can you do this, and at what level will I have to do it ?
    This is what I already tried:
    1- I have read through the GlobalPlatform specification, and they say that it is possible to put a certain flag on a application in order to make it default. So this is what I tried... I had my card in the OP_READY status mode, and I tried to put the application in the 'LOCKED' mode in order to make it the default application using the set-status APDU command from GlobalPlatform. It did not worked.
    2- After that, I tried something else. I put the card in the SECURED status mode, and I tried to put the application in the 'LOCKED' mode, but then I think I locked the card. I was not able to authenticate to the card anymore using the init-update command and the 255 keyset. How come the default keyset is not available anymore when you are in SECURED mode ???
    Again, how do you make an applet the default one ???
    Thanks a lot for answering,
    Richard Leroy

    Hi everyone,
    I finally have found the answer to my question, and felt important to let everybody know it ...
    In order to make an applet the default one, you need to upload it and install it with specific privileges...
    With gpshell, you need to add "-priv 4" to the "install" line in order to activate the default option. This will enable a specific flag for the applet.
    Once this is done, you will have to select the applet with the appropriate APDU, and your applet will be the default one.
    You can also get more informations on globalplatform spec 2.1.1 on page 107.

  • How to make changes in more then one file

    Hi All,
    M new and dont have deep idea about dreamwheaver.Actually i want to make changes in more then one file at the same time, how to do this. Is there any option available there. ?

    If you you build your new site with SSIs (server-side includes), changes to include files will populate to all pages on the remote server.  This is a huge time saver for maintaining common page elements on large sites.
    Example code might look like this:
    <body>
    header goes here
    <!--#include virtual="header.html"-->
    <p>some text</p>
    menu goes here
    <!--#include virtual="menu.html"-->
    <p>some text</p>
    footer goes here
    <!--#include virtual="footer.html"-->
    </body>
    </html>
    Pages with includes on them need to be saved as .shtm or .shtml.  If you use server-side scripts on your site, save as .asp or .php to match your script type.

  • How to make Firefox to open only ONE website

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is any way to make Firefox to only open '''ONE '''website so that users cannot browse to other websites on the internet. Also to block users so they cannot edit the options etc. I need this as I am doing a project working on healthcare.
    Regards,

    I do not know exactly what you are doing or what problems you envisage, but possibly it will entail you looking at your server security, and what information that presents on the internet and on your LAN. You should also consider what permissions and software users have, otherwise they could merely use an alternative browser or reconfigure or reinstall firefox.

  • How to make dual mono output from one mono track

    Please forgive my complete ignorance of music mixing/sound board terminology: I'm only using Logic Pro X because Apple deliberately made it impossible to use Soundtrack Pro as part of a roundtrip with FCPx. Soundtrack Pro is what I've always used for editing audio for video.
    I recorded two tracks with the video: microphone on the right and and lavalier on the left. The mic was just a backup and the lav track is what I want to use.  I imported the audio into LPx and now I want to use only the left channel but I want it to output equally on both channels. I've searched all over for a simple explaination (at least one who is not a music editor can understand) and haven't found one.
    How can I do this? Thanks.
    Second question: I found the little icon that lets makes the timeline scroll to follow the playhead (ridiculous that FCPx doesn't have this) but I can only make it work for one clip at at time. Is there a way to turn it on permanently?

    On the Channels Strip (of the Audio Track with the Audio Region), ctr+click on the left segment of the Input Button. That opens a popup menu where you can select Left (only the left channel of the Audio Region is played as mono), or Right (only the right channel of the Audio Region is played as mono).
    Once the signal flow of the Channel Strip is mono (one channel), you can use the "Mono➤Stereo" version of some plugins to convert the Channel Strip to a stereo channel.
    About your second question. If you are referring to the little blue "Catch Playhead Button", that automatically scrolls the Workspace when the Playhead reaches the right border to keep the Workspace visible. You also can also enable  the "Scroll in Play" mode in the local View Menu. That one locks the Playhead in the center and scroll the Workspace "underneath"
    However if you are referring to that little Play icon in the left upper corner of the Region Header (only visible in the Editor), that one, the "Solo Play Button", only plays that Region in solo mode. It is basically a combination of "Play " and "Solo" in on button. You can find all those little informations and much more in my graphically enhanced manual "Logic Pro X - How it Works".
    Hope that helps

  • How to make a JDialog scrolling from one position to the other.

    Hi all,
    I want to move a JDialog from one position to the other(actually I want to scrolling/moving as messenger notification appear on top of the system tray) on the desktop.
    Anyone of you can give me a clue.
    Thanks

    Ok here what I have try up to now. First make the initial position of the JFrame as follows.
        private void SetWindowLocation()
            final int screenHeight = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().height;
            final int screenWidth = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().width;
            final int frameHeight = this.getHeight();
            final int frameWidth = this.getWidth();
            int _y = (screenHeight - frameHeight - 32);
            int _x = (screenWidth - frameWidth);
    // Initial location
            this.setLocation(_x, _y); 
    }This code place my Frame in the lower-right corner on top of the system-tray.
    Then as you guys says, try to work on a Timer. Now I'm stuck with the action listener. I try to move the frame to upper-right corner.
        private void SetWindowLocation()
            final int screenHeight = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().height;
            final int screenWidth = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().width;
            final int frameHeight = this.getHeight();
            final int frameWidth = this.getWidth();
            int _y = (screenHeight - frameHeight - 32);
            int _x = (screenWidth - frameWidth);
    // Initial location
            this.setLocation(_x, _y); 
            _timer = new javax.swing.Timer(100, incrementYPosition);
    ActionListener incrementYPosition = new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
                       while(_y > 0){
                            // do the processing here.
                            // reduce the _y value and set the new location with _x
                    };I'm stuck with that how to involve with the ActionListener here. :(:( After set the initial location how to deal with the ActionListener.
    Any help.
