Charged for very poor service from EE's error
I upgraded my new phone in December when I never received a conformation email I phoned back and EE informed me they had no records of my order,so I had to re-order the phone.A couple of days later I received the phone along with another one,again I phoned to inform them that I had received two phones and I explained I couldn't send it back by your usual way.I asked for a courier to pick it up and they told me they would get back to me,I waited at least 5 or 6 weeks and no one contacted me,then out the blue they accessed my bank account without our permission and took part payments for December and £62 for Jan.for an extra phone that EE had sent me and i had informed them about and was trying to return.
I phoned again and EE said they had phoned me which was lies as there was no missed calls or a message left or any attempt to phone me a second time which would surely be done if you had originally phoned me to arrange a return for a £1000 phone.Absolutely shocking customer service from this company.
They arranged for a courier right away to pick up the extra phone which was picked up on Tuesday 21st Feb.i checked my bank account for the refund which wasn't there but you they had taken another £62 for Feb.
So I phoned AGAIN to enquiry about my refund and why EE were taking more money for an extra phone they sent me, again which they didn't have permission to take, as that phone is nothing to do with my existing direct debit. I spoke with a girl for over 50 minutes about this extra phone and to raise a complaint, she kept me on hold eveytime I asked a question to speak with her manager Kevin Mohan Swansea office.
To save time to get answers to my questions I asked to speak to him as she couldn't without going to him everytime,he refused to speak to me after saying I wasn't happy with some of the answers,they couldn't even tell me what my refund would be.she told me Kevin Mohan would phone me on Monday.Then I asked for the complaint ref.number for the 2nd or 3rd time to which she put me back on hold to get it,which tells me there wasn't one raised when I told her at the very start I wanted to raise one.
Appaling service from EE and your manager who also couldn't give me the email address for a complaint, then fobs me off because he couldn't be bothered to speak to me.
I have still not received a call back as promised from the manager it is now 17.20. I emailed there customer service once I found an email address and they replied on Saturday saying =they would get back to me once I had sent some info which I did this morning but I still not had a confirmation that they recieved it.
****will update on there complaint resolution**** if I get one.
*** UPDATE *** On resolution
Had to chase them up on messenger before I got a call back today from there resolution team ,basically full of apologies although they insuated I was to blame for ordering a new phone instead of an upgrade this information was garnered from the order I was told that didn't exist but was found today,even although I was on the upgrade page online.
They have now reimbursed my money taken from my account with £20 more onto the £30 from the first time I informed them of the extra phone.
We will definetly not be upgrading our phones again with EE.
A problem that could have been easily resolved turned into a fiasco by EE.
