TWO AND A HALF WEEKS OF LOSS OF SERVICES AND A COMPENSATION OF £112.84P, BY A TECH MANAGER , ACCOUNTS SAID THAT WAS TO MUCH , 3 WEEKS LATER I PHONED UP AGAIN TO SEE WHERE REFUND WAS , AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE I ASKED FOR A REFUND OF £80 TO GO BACK TO MY BANK , IT WAS REFUSED 4 TIMES , THERE EXCUSE I ASKED FOR IT??? BUT ( I DID NOT ) INSTEAD OF WAITING TO BE AUTOMATICLEY REFUNDED ??? THE MANGER AWARDED THIS TO ME , SO ON MY TALK TALK DASH BOARD IT SAYS CLAIM A REFUND , I ASKED FOR £80 AND THEY REFUSED 4 TIMES , NEVER EVEN RANG ME UP TO SAY WHY THEY CAME TO THAT CONCLUSION . WHEN YOU COMPLAIN THE CUSTOMER IS NEVER CORRECT . Edit”

“They tried every trick in the book to try and stop me leaving. Eventually, I signed up with John Lewis (wonderful) and then Talktalk loyalty contacted me - very aggressive basically telling me that I was stupid to move as they could cut the cost by half. I explained that I no longer trusted anything that they told me and I gladly pay a higher price for better (any) service - they don't get it and never will”

“Lies and more lies Not sure how these people have got excellent customer service They don't listen, they go off on a tangent Each week I'd call, agree a package and price the rep says they'll call me back. They never do. So I call again the next week and the price has gone up. This happened 3 weeks in a row. I would suggest reps that understand English!!!! (Yes they speak English fine. They don't understand or don't listen) not racist as I'm a minority but I am prejudice against stupid people”

“Please avoid this company. Hours spent on the phone trying to sort out issues they are unable to resolve, multiple operatives who are unable to help and apparently no complaints department. I have run my mobile battery down twice in2 days trying unsuccessfully to resolve an issue - I am leaving this company as soon as possible.”

“Don't use Talk Talk. I have been facing a broadband issue for two weeks and had to call them over 10 times for them to fix the issue and it's still not fixed. I've arranged for engineers to come fix the broadband so the internet can work, and they either come and don't fix it or cancel the appointment. Everytime I call they ask for security questions and even say its wrong when you give them the correct information. I've had many of the service helpers say my information is incorrect, but when I say it to another person it's fine. The inconsistency! Also, you speak to many differentpeople/departments that don't know your situation so you have to repeat yourself a million times and you still don't get the help you need. The online chat service is basically non existent, you use it and they reject you and say you gave the wrong information. I feel this happens when they don't want to help you. They just want you to call on hours end and steal your money. Sky, EE and BT are the best options.”

“A day completed wasted on the phone being passed around endless call handlers. They claimed to be be technical support specialists or logistics but honestly technically inept and logistically lost…literally! Laughingly customer services was the last group I spoke with but they demonstrated zero intention to help resolve the issue and my impending cardiac arrest….I’m off to a darkend room to plan my escape from TT”

“My service was disconnected two months ago and the phone cable to my house removed but talktalk still insisted on me paying for two months broadband with absolutely no service. They are a vile, money grabbing, disgrace of a company who should be shut down.”

“Incompetent, Con Artist and Liars! I signed up with TalkTalk only because they had an £80 Amazon voucher offer at the time. Fast forward 6 month no voucher so called up. They apologised for the error and said it would be sent and with me within the month. Fast forward 6 weeks...no voucher. Called up again to raise a complaint this time, I state I want to raise a complaint on 3/4 occasions clearly and it is ignored. I get told first to email them about it then after I say this cannot be right since I didn't have to do this last time, they then say actually I have to go back to the comparison site and collect information for them to prove I was owed it. When I then ask if they had actually read the notes from my previous call where TalkTalk already checked and said it was their fault the call handler then does this and suggests a different email address. When I ask to speak to a Manager at this point as still no complaint has been raised and clearly I am getting the wrong information. I am put on hold...no manager available. Finally the call handler raises a complaint and says I ill be called back by a manager in the next three days to discuss...the call ends. I get a call back 5 min later from the same person saying they are actually going to transfer me to the complaints department to get a resolution today and then put me on hold for nearly 20 min before I can hear I have ben transferred through to a department as I can hear them but despite talking etc to get somebody to respond after 5 min nothing so I hang up so now have to go through the whole thing again with a new incompetent person at an incompetent company just to get something that I should have had automatically issued to me months ago.”

“Absolutely disgusting customer service. Was notified about being booked in for a upgrade to Future Fibre broadband via text that I had previously advised I didn't want a few months ago but clearly had booked it in without any consideration to what I requested. Live chat was awful, just kept getting told that because my area a future fibre area they couldn't deal with me as I'm a future fibre customer (which I'm not as my package hadn't been upgraded!) and they gave me a number to a line that was closed. Tried contacting via the number on Facebook and that wouldn't connect. Sent a message via messenger and they did get back to me a few hours later but still couldn't deal with me as they didn't have the system to deal with my request so gave me another number to call which I managed to get through on but the woman I spoke to didn't seem to know what she was doing as she had to keep putting me on hold. I could hardly hear her as her microphone was so noisy and she was clearly getting frustrated with the fact I couldn't hear her so maybe TalkTalk should provide their telephone operatives with decent phones/headphones! The appointment did get cancelled in the end with a weak apology and a very rude and abrupt hang up at the end of the call. Think customer service training needs to be given and respect for customers needs to be learnt without trying to force customers in to getting upgraded packages that they don't want! What a bullying company with no respect for customers at all, I won't be renewing my contract at all....”

“Absolutely SHOCKING customer service. Just avoid like the plague. It seems I’ve had the same experience as many on here and OH how I wish I’d read these reviews before engaging with these incompetent charlatans! I ordered future fibre. I rang up to ask where is my installation to be told they cancelled my order! So I reinstated it. I then had to ring up again to ask where my installation was only to be told AGAIN they had cancelled my order! I stupidly reinstated it. I then had to ring up AGAIN to ask where my installation was only to be told AGAIN!!!!!! they had cancelled my order! For a 3rd time! And it was written on my account’s notes that I had reinstated it….but they had just done nothing!!!!!!!! All of this with over an hour of combined sitting on hold. I just can’t believe how bad they have been!”

“Bad customer service and extremely dodge mis-selling techniques used mid-contract with offers of "free upgrades" which are not free and extend your contract. 8 separate communications (1 a doorstep visit) about taking up free upgrade but there is no free FTTC to FTTP upgrade on the phone number they say to call. Phone and webchat is useless - they will only tell you to restart your router if you have issues. Customer services forum is better for support but takes days/weeks to resolve service issues and has software problems of its own. Routers have had known issues for a long time but fixes are not forthcoming - normal people with no technical expertise will not be able to navigate these things. Bad ISP for the vulnerable, sick or busy. I have reported to ICO and OfCOM”

“Absolutely disgusting ridiculous customer service experience ended up cancelling the contract. Router never arrived 3 Days attempting to sort it out finally got to speak to someone who understood after telling them we were cancelling the contract....Unbelievable phoning on behalf of an elderly relative, poor thing had to verify that she was the account holder 5 times,she could barely breathe bless her. 4hrs on the phone achieved nothing. Good bye Talk Talk and good riddance...”
