Significant issues with new fibre plan

[jhoward29]

Hi,

I took out a full fibre plan on 10th November 2024.

Since then I have had extremely limited communication from Talk Talk.

Last week on Wednesday 5th February they sent a staff member round to finally get me connected.

The staff member said he encountered a small problem and that someone would come back that afternoon to finish the job.

No one came and I have had no communication from Talk Talk since.

I called customer service yesterday. I was put on hold for an hour. When I said I had to go as I had a meeting I requested an update via email or a call back.

I was told this was not possible and that I would have to call again when I had more time.

This seems like terrible customer service considering how long I have waited and how I have been treated.

Please can Talk Talk schedule someone to come to my house to finish the installation and let me know the new date as a matter of urgency.

Thank you,

Joe

It's not an upgrade order.

I bought this package directly from Talk Talk website.

I have been paying Talk Talk for this package since November. However, I am still yet to receive the goods that I paid for.

A service provider is legally obligated to deliver goods and services within a reasonable timeframe. As I have been making payments for several months without receiving what I paid for, this constitutes a breach of contract.

I do not understand why TalkTalk, the company I am paying, does not consider it their responsibility to provide the goods that I am continually being charged for. I require an immediate resolution to this matter from Talk Talk whom I bought the package from and who I am paying money too every month.

If I do not receive a satisfactory response I will escalate to the trading standards.

It really isn't that difficult for Talk Talk to send someone round to fix the mess that they have made.

I'm sorry but as it's an issue with the upgrade order you would need to speak to the dedicated Shell migration support team, apologies for any inconvenience

Hi Chris,

I did but a long time ago.

I have since bought a new upgraded package directly from Talk Talk.

I bought this package at the start of November it is now mid-February.

I don't understand why I am being fobbed off yet again.

Talk Talk is the name on my account.

Please do not palm me off and make me sit on hold yet again for hours and hours with no outcome.
