Another Utility company cut through my parents landline leaving them with no phone line, they have a health device attached to the landline and both my parents are disabled and vunerable, the landline as not been working for over a week and my parents are unable to use a mobile phone as they have dementia. Talk talk keep saying it will be fixed and engineer will fix this but nothing has been done, it a disgrace to treat vunerable customers in such a shocking way.

Hi @Lizvic
I'm so sorry to hear this.
Please can you add your parents name and TalkTalk landline number to your Community Profile, I can then take a look at this for you.
Thanks

The gravity of the situation has been stressed to talk talk from day one , as they represent my parents and have to communicate with open reach on their behalf , they should have explained this is a welfare matter with a health device connected to the landline , this should have been escalated from day one as not having a landline for over a week when vulnerable disabled customers is not acceptable

Staff here will not be back until Monday as the forum is only manned during normal office hours.
It should be mentioned though that whilst TalkTalk are your parents phone providers, work is carried out by OpenReach and they will send out an engineer as soon as possible, given, I'm sure,you have stressed the situation.
As you spoke to TalkTalk and they have said it will be fixed, have you been nominated to deal with TalkTalk on your parents behalf, and have you registered them as vulnerable customers?.
If not i suggest you contact TalkTalk again and ask for details of getting registered
In the meantime this may help
