Excellent customer service

I have been with English heritage for many years and visited some amazing places that I grew to love.
Due to age and infirmity I needed to cancel my monthly subscription. I emailed customer services and they responded the next day to confirm they had cancelled my membership and direct debit as I had requested.I really appreciate the ease and professionalism in their dealing with my request.
Thank you

Quick positive outcome to membership query.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quick response to my email query about changing my membership payments from annual to monthly, and the ease with which this was expedited. The experience definitely encouraged me to remain a member.

All’s well that ends well. But:
As I mentioned earlier, on the annual renewal letter, the specified contact email address's did not work AND the second option given also did not function.

Very poor start.

Well, we received three membership cards for a dual membership, and none of the cards bore either of our names. They were for three different people! You had 14 days to get our membership right, and now we have to wait another 14 days for the correct cards to arrive!

The reply to my email about the way I was treated at one of their sites was a touch patronising and insincere.
