“On checking my account there was a note to say(we have made some changes to our prices so your bill will be higher.how unfair to not let the customer know and just take extra money from direct debit.shocked and disgusted.”
“I rang BT on 12 October to enquirer about payment for premier games. The adviser gave me the answer but then said he could get me more channels at a lower price. I agreed and he said he would send me two new routers that I would need. I thanked him for the advice but then noticed the next day I had lost Comedy Central and some sports channels
. Since then I have tried to revert but am told it is impossible! Rubbish!!!”
“So applied for broadband on 16/9 due to moving house and because my existing provider did not service the area we were moving into. On 23/9 BT cancelled my application without warning. Called them the same day for resolution and “resolution” involved a hard search. So essentially a second hard search within a few days. Because the “resolution” was essentially a new application the activation for pushed hence applied with EE because I had enough. And EE didn’t do a hard search btw.
Result is that because of the two hard searches my credit score through Equifax, dropped 180 points. Thanks a lot BT.”
“Well I phoned b.t.

“Had an online advisor mis-sell my mum, who is a technophobe, a new 2 year contract and upgrade to the Halo1 package, under the promise it would solve our connectivity issues. It turns out, after speaking to a technical advisor over the phone, that it was a hardware fault and that the Halo1 package would not have helped in the slightest.
BT have promised the world in the last two weeks, guaranteeing new upgraded packages at no cost, guaranteeing to get one person to take control of the matter and resolve the issues. Two weeks later, nothing has been resolved. They have breached the Data Protection Act by giving full access to the account to someone who was not the account owner (myself). All because one person who was meant to get back in contact with me, decided he would be better suited to pass the buck onto the Billing team within BT but never told them the details of the complaint.
They also managed to delete our home phone number, which we've had for nearly 20 years. Then took over four days to do a simple reservation of the phone number to get it back..
Now having problems canceling the package and canceling BT services all together. Been on the phone with over six advisors in the past two weeks, all of which promise callbacks and never do.
Now waiting for a managers call back who was meant to ring within 2-3 hours, now nearly 4 hours later....still waiting...
Tried making a DSAR (Data Subject Access Request) four days ago, to get all of the information which BT holds about our account to pass onto a legal team to investigate. Been chasing it up for three days, just to get an email with a link on how to make the request.
YOU DONT NEED TO DO THIS YOURSELF..
Ring up BT and they can do this for you over the phone, I tried to do this four days ago, but they didn't do it properly. Best advise for dealing with BT is get email communications and get a paper trail. You can also do the Data Subject Access Request and get all information held by BT on your account.
Now 4 days late in getting the information from BT to pass onto lawyers to get us out of this ridiculous contract with zero support from any BT advisor.
Definitely distance yourselves away from these fools.
Attached is a photo of the email, names blanked out, of a response which came after four days of chasing the information request, which I made on the phone previously.”
“I am an employee and just like how customers feel, employees are treated like dogs. They only chase for scores and nothing else. Because customers are mad at BT, the advisors are put in mental and physical pressure everyday. In these tough times can’t even leave jobs, but they are not supportive at all.”
“I have moved house and have now had 11 cancelled orders trying to get broadband. This has been going on now for over 3 weeks and every time it takes me about an hour to raise a new order and start a new account. After 24 hours the whole order gets cancelled and I am back at square one.
I should have had a working connection on 11th September and I am still without. They have promised me a 4g mini hub on three separate occasions but none have ever been dispatched let alone delivered.
I have a wife who works from home and has been unable to generate any income for herself for the last 2 weeks and now she is losing work because of it. BT keep telling me it is one thing, then blaming another department, then saying its a technical fault. The company are disgusting.
They have no incentive to get better because the only compensation they are ever liable for is the £1 a day loss of service refund. Without doubt one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with.”
“From start to finish and everywhere I between, this company hands down the most incompetent lazy scammers..
To go through everything they failed and lied about ...everytime they ignored me over my contract would take far too long and they si ply are not worth it ..
Stay well clear ..dont believe any the bukl about valued customer ...a ine off bad experience ..we value your custom...they dont ...they are scammers...deliberately not noting things so they can extend contract and say it's not thier fault..
Thieves scammers useless......a few of the words I would use to describe every person in that company....with the exception of the amazing Charleen from Glasgow call centre and Becca from stockport .....
BT YOU WANT A PROPER JOB DONE RIGHT .....MAKE THESE 2 THE BOSSESS I guarantee job will be done .”
“Horrendous experience. Asked for new landline. 2 months on still nothing. Hours and hours wasted on the phone. Tried to upgrade phone data and that was messed up so badly ended up with 2 accounts and no data. Literally spent hours getting nowhere. Sabah was the only one who went out of her way to help and actually got somewhere with some free data . She's great the others were nice but not very good at their jobs.”
“My BT TV box has packed up again, I received a supposedly 'new' box about twelve months ago which has also stopped working. I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR FOUR DAYS TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE, ALL I GET IS 'WE ARE BUSY, TRY AGAIN'. Customer service is non existent. I'm paying nearly £1000 per year.....for what?”
“If I could put minus figures, I would. The service from start to finish has been diabolical. I’ve spent hours on the phone (average waiting time to get through to call centre is 30 minutes, then being passed around endlessly to numerous departments) trying to sort this issue out and keep getting fobbed off. It’s now week 6 without a phone line and I keep getting promises that it’ll be fixed with the next 48 hours. My elderly mother is left without a phone line and is having to rely on her pay go mobile for calls, spending an absolute fortune. I have opened complaints, for them to be closed without resolution and no courtesy callback..
Do not touch with a barge pole..I will be escalating this to the Ombudsman.”
“Mark Clemets, nothing good to say about bt they are a bunch of robbing cunts no loyalty to customers in these hard times they can stick there broadband up there fat greedy arse and the person responsible for cutting off my broadband at a sad time please meet me for a chat ill be nice i promise CUNTZZZZZZZZZZZZ”
“A few months ago I was unable to pay my bill due to not been able to work so I got in debt with my bill and BT disconnected my internet.
I rang up and explained my situation and the guy that I spoke to was very nice and put me on a payment plan and my internet was reconnected.
Great I thought at the time. I even have a 5 star review saying how happy I was with their customer services.
However, I paid my agreed instalment but a couple of days later my internet was disconnected. I spoke to a lovely lady who reconnected it and said that she would make a note so it does not happen again. So the next month I paid the agreed instalment as agreed and yet again my services were disconnected. Phoned up again sorted it out. and was told that it wouldn’t happen again.
Well guess what it happened again this month. But this time when I tried to pay the agreed payment I was told that a payment instalment was never agreed and that I now had to pay £189 and plus an extra amount for late payment. I was really upset as i know that a repayment plan was set in place and now I was being told that no repayment plan was agreed. So I had to pay the full amount. But now I don’t have enough money to live on for the rest of the week. But what upset me about it the most was the fact that a repayment plan was put in place and. then I was told that no plan was In place. So BT tell lies. It sent me nuts. I have mental health issues and the way I was treated was appalling.
They even added another amount so that the bill was more than it was originally.”
“Awful back stabbing company - avoid!
I was in Asia for 6 months and needed to cancel an out of contract sim card. They would not allow it, so i just cancelled the DD. They then tried to chase me for money and got the debt collectors involved for 30 pounds. Funny, since I was out of contract.
They have caused my credit rating to drop 3 times! Despite me ringing up and sorting it out, they continue to have me black listed. I have now lost over 200 points out of 700 on my credit score. Literally can't get anything on credit anymore and I've spent the last 5 years building it and saving to buy a house this year.
Over 30 pounds... which I shouldn't even owe.
Stay clear!”
“Been with BT at current address since,1998, customer services failed my request for my last bill payment,by card,even though he had details on his laptop in view, operative reqd how much I payed, I could not remember!,"WHAT"!!.”
“This company has a employee who who changed all my contracts without our consent we then spent hours trying to get this corrected after many call 2 ladies managed to correct it they both where sorry this happened and great but why they should have to clear up after dishonest toe rag who thinks its fine to commit fraud and com your customers dout we are thee only ones he has done this to”
