I Just Knew It - TalkTalk Email "Transition"

What did I say on other threads here about this matter. It is undoubtedly AI driven and once it gets it into 'its' head that you're not a TalkTalk customer unless someone tells it has made a mistake it will keep on spewing out emails to customers telling them they're not customers and that their email service will end in July.

 

Worse than that the service will be incrementally depleted in the next two weeks with the removal of the ability to send emails (see screenshots below).

 

I was assured that the earlier emails I received were mistakes and should not have been sent to me as a TalkTalk customer and that I did not need to do anything.

 

Well obviously I do need to do something and soon because if my email service gets stuffed by TalkTalk's unwise reliance on AI and their inadequate customer service in dealing with this matter I will be very unhappy.

 

I suggested that what was required was not some generalised apology published online explaining that TalkTalk customers received these warning emails in error. What was needed, at the very least, was an email from TalkTalk sent out to all those customers confirming this was an error and that their 'system' has now been updated and recognises them as customers.

 

Was that too much to ask? A simple assurance, in writing, that because of a TalkTalk mistake your email service is going to continue as normal. Is that too ,much to ask now?

 

If anyone has any suggestions about how customers like myself and others here who've been affected by this this inexplicable mess TalkTalk have made of this then please..........please help.

There are no staff here anymore and you will need to contact them to resolve.

 

Re chat, disabling pop up blockers and ad blockers may help, but sometimes if staff are busy the button is supressed.

 

To avoid the chat bot, type in speak to a human or speak to an agent until you are connected.

From the 29th of March our TalkTalk Community will move to peer-to-peer support and the TalkTalk team will no longer be here to support with queries. Don’t worry we still have plenty of ways to reach out if you need to speak to TalkTalk directly. For more details check out the link here: How to contact TalkTalk Broadband - Help & Support.

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

The whole point of this post is that I am a TalkTalk customer. How do I convince the AI spewing out this email that I am? I've just logged into My Account (no problem - all paid up for this month) and even accessed my emails directly from there, after signing in with my email mail and password rather than through my email client. No problems anywhere but I still received this second email with dire warning about my email service being terminated because "I'm not a customer".

 

They made it quite clear when this first occurred that it was a mistake and customers like me shouldn't have received the email. You can still find that message if you search through TalkTalk's web site. All very nice, all very apologetic and designed to calm peoples' concerns. But, just as I predicted and was very worried about the matter has clearly not been fixed.

 

Likely because the AI has listed me as not a TalkTalk customer and other here too nobody has actually removed these wrongly identified names from that list. Result: another email because it is still 'thinks' I'm not a customer.

 

It needs human intervention by TalkTalk not apologies. If that mistake continues and TalkTalk's AI doesn't recognise my status I know I'll lose my email service. For me and many other people here that service is an essential part of the package and it is not us who can fix it.

 

BTW I've even tried using the Contact Live Chat but the necessary link button to access the services seems to be missing (maybe a browser issue) and the 'Help' pages just display as an empty 'window with no information. I suppose I'll have to contact them by 'phone but is there any chance the underpaid call centre personnel, assuming I can get a real person, will actually be able to sort this out?

Some emails were sent inadvertently to customers.
