  • leecharlesmusic Lee Charles (@leecharlesmusic) reported

    @bt_uk Why don’t you try aiming this at the social network companies that allow these people to do it? Surely they have the biggest responsibility?

    @btbusinesscare @btbusinesscare Hi - Following up on this. Your Complaints Team resolved the issue and compensated me. Thanks for that. I just received my phone bill. The number you provided on your letter was a premium line! WTF! 1/n

  • misakimi82 misakimi82 (@misakimi82) reported

    @bt_uk I am now considering this harassment and will be contacting @Ofcom I have submitted a complaint via your site but have zero faith it will be dealt with properly.

  • chris_greany Chris Greany 🕳🕳 (@chris_greany) reported

    @crochetjenny @bt_uk Customer service all but disappeared during Covid last year...but it is cut completley now although we are almost out of restrictions

  • RednWhiteJames GunnersAssemble (@RednWhiteJames) reported

    @bt_uk your levels of service, account responsibility are nothing short of atrocious Checking my account today- the £232 refund highlighted on the account to be processed on 25th Vanished, no where to be seen. Promised call back, shock horror no call back. i cant wait to leave

  • hellraiser2009 James Bates (@hellraiser2009) reported

    @bt_uk Unfortunately this is a fault reporting service for landline and broadband services which is not the problem. I am reporting a problem with BT mobile. Thanks

  • crochetjenny Jenn 💙🐶🐎 (@crochetjenny) reported

    @chris_greany @bt_uk Good old customer services 🤨

  • famelicose2 famelicose (@famelicose2) reported

    @btbusinesscare @btbusinesscare You compensated me £25. My phone bill to resolve the issue (including VAT), was £26.54! So you have not provided any compensation at all, and I am still out of pocket! WTF do you use a premium line for your business customers? 2/n

  • misakimi82 misakimi82 (@misakimi82) reported

    @bt_uk 25a Woodcote Mews, SM6 8RB. as for the landline number I haven't a clue because part of my complaint is that BT changed my number without my permission!!! I have since moved back to Sky because of the absolutely shocking behaviour and service from BT.

  • sdb1979 Steve (@sdb1979) reported

    @bt_uk Hi rang them and they were going to call back. Which the guy did, unfortunately I had to run to the vet with the dog (literally 5mins before he rang back). Will he try again this evening? He said he was in till 7pm. Feel bad for what I'm sure he thinks is me wasting his time 😞

  • famelicose2 famelicose (@famelicose2) reported

    @btbusinesscare @btbusinesscare Per our DM, no, I am not chatting to anyone else. You know the issue. I have written to you. You have 28 days to cover these additional costs or I go to the Communication Ombudsman.
