Talk Talk didn't send me a digital voice adapter.. neverending mistakes.

So I've had a rough time trying to just get my contract renewed and the service actually started.

 

Finally thought that hurdle was over, despite an ongoing complaint about the 'customer loyalty team', the service I signed a contract for was started 2 weeks after it was promised.

 

Anyway now I've noticed drops in speed periodically. Did a connection test on my talk talk account and it tells me there's an issue with my digital voice adapter and I need to sync it..

 

Bit of a problem there, they didn't sent me one. Nor mention it at all during the multiple calls and chats I've had to endure the past weeks. The only mention is in my contract which advises the plan includes digital voice, but no mention of the hardware needed to use it. They sent the eero router, how do they forget the adapter if they are senythay anyway?!..

 

I'm so fed up with this company now. If I don't hear anything about the open complaint and get this flippin adapter ASAP I'm just going to exercise my right to cancel without fee as I absolutely haven't been getting the service that was promised when they signed me up for the new contract.

Hi Chris,  like I say I've had 0 contact from TT regarding the complaint. Last time they said they would call I received a text advising the date and time but I have not had any warning of this apparent call back.

 

I very much doubt it will actually happen anyway, it didn't last time. I was told a note on the system said someone called but when I queried if they could check their call logs to confirm they said that wasn't possible.. as I did not have any missed calls and was sitting with my phone the entire time as I was expecting their call, I expect this was just a note left to say someone did try to call in case someone checked it had been done. 

 

I have searched the internet for "talk talk complaint" and at least I know I'm not alone now. The first 3 forum posts I checked on this community and moneysupermarket all had almost identical issues with TT customer service and how they promise calls then don't make them, they send people in circles trying to get help by calling or chat and always ending back in the same place, with no resolution.

 

I have seen that making issues public on X/Twitter and in comments on TT Facebook adverts does force a response though, so that's what I will be doing.

Hi JohnDory69,

 

There appears to be a callback booked for later today regarding the complaint, are you aware of this (I'm sorry, we can't give you a direct number)?

Hi Michelle thanks for checking in.

 

The DVA arrived and set up without issue. Only problem is when I do a connection test on my account it still says there is something wrong. I did start a chat to figure out the issue and after testing my device I was told that I was getting huge drops in speed  periodically as my PC WiFi adaptor works on WiFi 5. I was strongly advised to buy another eero router from TT.. I asked if it made more sense to just buy a WiFi 6 adapter for my PC as this was much cheaper and would solve the issue, but the agent Peter then said he was going to transfer me to someone else as I had an open complaint. I waited over 3 hours and Peter did not transfer me to anyone. I took lots of screenshots to show the time between the message saying he would transfer me and the lack of any response.

 

I have to say that complaints at TT are dealt with like no business I've ever seen in my life. I work for a company regulated by the FOS and if we treated a customer who had a complaint like I've been treated we would be in serious trouble.

 

I've asked Arne on another post to please give me an email for the dedicated complaint team, as the Customer Loyalty team who are meant to be dealing with my complaint just won't do anything. I've been waiting weeks for even a call to speak to them about it. I was told by one agent I was definitely eligible for the ofcom automatic compensation because my new service wasn't started until almost 2 weeks after my go live date, and that was only because I started a chat and then called TT to raise the issue. I was promised a call from the complaint handler, they did not call, so I rang TT and was told they did try to call me..  I have uploaded screenshots of my call log on another post to show no one called me but I was told they did and so the agent I spoke to implied I was lying about not receiving a call. I spent an hour on that call to them to try and get help with my complaint but was refused and they did say someone would call a few days later but that also never happened. 

 

It's now been 2 weeks since I was told the complaint handler would be in touch but I've had no contact by phone, email or text. 

 

Please Michelle can you provide an email or direct number for the actual complaint team, not the customer loyalty team as I have not been able to get any help from them via phone or chat. There must be a senior complaint team as I can't imagine customer service agents deal with complex complaints and this has gotten so ridiculous now because of the issues I've had at every possible step. All I wanted originally was to get the connection I had signed a contract for and for the automatic compensation I was eligible for. I understand the compensation can take up to 30 days but since I've not spoken to a single person about it or the complaint I doubt it has been raised at all.

Hi Michelle, thanks for getting back to me.

 

Unfortunately I was unable to connect to anyone on chat, kept getting messages saying all agents were busy and gave up eventually.

 

I was going to try again today after work but would appreciate if you are able to help.

Hi John,

 

I'm sorry for the delay. Did you manage to resolve this with our Chat Team or do you still need assistance with this?

 

Thanks

Hey, yeah I'm going to give that a go now. 

 

Still I'll leave this post here in case anyone is browsing thinking of signing up to a contract with talk talk, think again.

Just ask them to send it by contacting Talktalk by phone / Chat directly, @JohnDory69.

 

Forum staff are not back on here before Monday.
