Hello everybody. Today has mostly been fighting with Dad's broadband provider In spite of sending us a letter dated 24 April, acknowledging his death and saying that they have suspended billing and given us 30 days to decide what we want to do, they have disconnected him because the direct debit failed. The amount outstanding is £20.
This happened on Monday. I rang them, they apologised profusely, waived the outstanding amount and said everything would be reconnected in 4 hours. None of this happened. Today I rang again. Oh no they said, we only reconnected his landline. ( had no idea this had been disconnected) I again asked why they had disconnected him in spite of the letter. Got the usual guff about it's an automated process.No I said, computers do not act independently, they do what humans tell them to do. There has been no communication within your organisation and you still cannot tell me how I have a letter saying one thing and you have done the exact opposite.
I eventually spoke to somebody who appeared to have some knowledge who promised to sort it out. She's going to ring my brother tomorrow to update him
What a performance!
