Example of poor service
Phoned RAC asked for call to be escalated and for a manager to return my call. Advised manager not available but one would call me shortly. Asked when this would be there. Told manager was at lunch - at 11:22. !! Never received call back.
Phoned RAC At least 10 times to resolve issue. Each operator gave me a different story. The staff were incompetent. One rep said they would transfer me to customer service. They transferred me back to main menu. After a few rings, received message - line closed.
Don’t be fooled when they tell you that the call will be escalated. - it wint. The wait time remains unchanged
This was the worse customer experience in my life and I am 67 years old.
Avoid this organisation at all costs.
