Thank you for your previous attention. I was 15 weeks without a landline but apparently no compensation due as still had broadband service. Cancelled the boost after about 5 weeks and had these additional costs refunded. This was considered compensation as the landline is considered a free-be. Interesting interpretation of the advertising. Letters, by post, to try and register a formal complaint go unanswered. So I am calling it a day and transferring to EE/BT. Will continue with Skype for international landline calls, so much cheaper.

Any auto compensation will need to go through the UFO team, they use different systems that we dont have access too.

@Arne-TalkTalk Here is a link to the thread reporting and attempting to resolve the fault:

Arne: Thanks for the email telling me that TalkTalk had not registered a fault on my landline. Can I refer you to my previous posts to the community in home phone: "phone message - sorry you cannot make calls from this line at the moment". (these are posted on the web with my name attached, some security). And I have a phone record on my mobile of making or attempting to make, 19 conversations with the UFO team. I don't have a record of the Live-Chat conversations but they, most of the time, said they could not deal with this and put me through to the UFO team. Have all these conversations been erased? I also have copies of two letters I sent to TalkTalk head office that did not get me anywhere for I assume I used the wrong password, account password not telephone password. Before I resolved my lack of contact to Canada with Skype, a fellow TalkTalk customer rang TalkTalk to plead on my behalf; but of course it does not work this way. So please do not tell me I did not have a fault on the landline. So the reimbursement of the payment for boosts while I had no phone are considered compensation.

Hi Toadpip
We dont have any faults logged against your account so Auto compensation cant be applied, which is why compensation was manually applied.

If you were totally without landline (regardless of Broadband working) I think that you should have the compensation scheme on your side, @Toadpip.
Hopefully @Arne-TalkTalk will pick up the issue for you and check. I'm moving this to the billing section for you.
