“Shocking customer service I paid £200 for a TV that arrived damaged. Currys couldn't exchange and it took me over 5 weeks to get my money back. I managed to get refunded through PayPal as Currys wouldn't refund me and online live chat told lies and fobbed me off. In the end I had to open a dispute with Paypal and spent many hours submitting evidence to win my case and get my money back. Unfortunately there are hundreds of victims with the same story who didn't get their money back yet. Not happy with Currys at all! If you had a similar experience then please report Currys to BBC watchdog.”

“Currys have a major problem, They can sell alright, the staff are excellent at selling up, adding extra warranties and sticking on excessive delivery/fitting /disposal charges. But that's where it stops. They can't deliver goods on time, its impossible to contact anyone and when you eventually manage to get through the options on the automated phone line aren't the ones you want.So you have to plump for the option that sounds nearest to the one you need, and of course it doesn't cover your problem. So you have to start again. Their heavy stuff is delivered by 'Know How' and things simply aren't joined up, there is very poor communication between Currys and Know How. What's more Ive found the majority of Currys staff to be exceptionally rude and up themselves, the general tenure is 'we've got your money, you aren't having it back and despite you paying over £100 we'll deliver as and when it suits us'. That said when you do get through to someone competent they are generally good at calming you down and problem solving. In my case it was a simple question that they forgot to ask, or should have asked earlier, and it would have saved hours of phone time, and a lot of frustration. Very nasty and dispiriting experience wouldn't recommend Currys to my worst enemy; actually I would, as long as they treat him like they treated me.....”

“Update: No response from Curry's emails request below. Parcel still hasn't been delivered and now the customer service is claiming internal issue for the delays (over 10 days now) as well as dismissing my right of cancellation and refund. (Consumer Rights act). I will put forward a complain with the Retail ADR as well as taking advice. I will revert here on the options you have as I can see other people in the same case.(failure from Curry's and customer agents lying on the delays and cause asking you to "trust" them as they cannot cancel your order...) BTW, Amazon delivered the same item next day... Don't think twice, make yourself a favour! Ordered a coffee machine for £500 and was sent a wrong item the next day. Called customer service who organised the collection the next day. HOWEVER they took another 8 days to deliver my item!!! They took 4 days to receive the item and check it before dispatching mine when it was their mistake! With other companies being more reliable I cannot recommend shopping with them. If you do not need customer service and the value of your item is irrelevant maybe but anything else search elsewhere!”

“Few months back! My credit score was in the low 495. i couldn’t get approved for a loan to buy a home or car. I reached out to a credit repair specialist that I got referred to by a friend, he removed all the negatives on my credit report and increased my score up to 842. All my inquiries, evictions, school loans etc were removed .if you also need your credit fixed, contact: C Y B E R D O N at T E C H I E dot C O M.”

“I needed to buy a home and a new car but I got denied when I tried getting a loan because I had a low credit score and some negative items. A colleague introduced me to a credit repair expert (C Y B E R D O N at T E C H I E dot C O M). I hired him for a credit repair process. He removed all negative items and raised my score from 587 to 779 in a couple of weeks. I got the house and the car in 3 weeks and all thanks to him. You can contact him with the above email address for a credit repair help.”

“In short as this went on for a month.... washer dryer under warranty stopped working pumping smoke into my house. Contacted Samsung as under warranty. They arranged for an engineer to check and confirmed it could not be fixed. Samsung provided an uplift number for currys to replace. This is where it starts to go wrong. I spent 9 phonecalls getting various stories that never matched, each with promises never kept, getting the phone cut off several times and managers not calling me back, losing my details, lies lies lies. I eventually gave up phoning Samsung back. They appologised at the way currys had treated me and arranged to replace the washer dryer themselves. They did this in less than a week in total. In short NEVER BUY FROM CURRYS AS IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG THEY WILL TREAT YOU LIKE AN IDIOT. I will never buy from then again.”

“Worst delivery ever, customer service useless. Have never had such a bad experience especially considering they are supposed to be a large brand! Will never buy again! For the story, Ordered a coffee machine for £500 and was sent a wrong item the next day. Called customer service who organised the collection the next day. HOWEVER they took another 8 days to deliver my item!!! They took 4 days to receive the item and check it before dispatching mine when it was their mistake!

“I needed to fix my credit urgently. My scores were between 490 to 530 across all 3 bureaus, I had an eviction but was not sure if it’s on my credit or not yet I keep getting denied each time I try to get a new home. With desperation, I made a research online and luckily for me, I found a repair specialist called Cyber Don. I contacted him via; C Y B E R D O N at T E C H I E dot C O M. He promised to help me so we got started with the job. A week later he completed a full credit repair process on my credit profile. He was able to remove the eviction alongside other negatives and that boosted my scores to 790 and above across all 3 bureaus. You can buzz him for credit issues.”

“On the 10 Dec 21, I placed an order for a HP laptop and O365 subscription for an amount of £1458.99. On the currys website, there was a promotion for free next day delivery and the code was accepted at the time of purchase as valid. I then received a confirmation email for the order with the delivery date of 16 Dec, which clearly was not next day. I called your customer service number as soon as this was received to advise them to cancel the order. Getting through to them was not straightforward in the first place, having to go through the automated system even before speaking to someone. I was then passed from one team to the next, having to explain everything to the new advisor. Eventually, the order was cancelled and I received an email confirming this. 2 days later, DPD delivered the product regardless. When I contacted customer services again to find out what's happened (once again, going through the automated system and multiple depts), the first agent, Njabulo hung up the call and made no attempts to contact me again. I again, called back customer services who basically said a refund will not be issued and when asked for transcripts of the conversion and previous conversations with yourself, Kwanele, the agent also terminated the call. I also mentioned this was a verbal SAR in accordance to GDPR regulations and ICO who prescribe companies treat verbal requests in the same manner as written requests. Kwanele made refused and made no attempts to allow me to speak with her superior, after she suggested she was unable to deal with the request. It occurred on: 2021-12-14 This meant that we were left fustrated, worrying about finances and having to cancel my plans further costing us money and emotional distress. I would like Currys to deal with my SAR to forward me the transcript, Acknowledge they've treated a customer badly, leaving us £1500 short during Christmas AFTER the order was cancelled.”

“Cyberdon is amazing . He Truly made me feel welcomed and valued from the moment I contacted him and narrated my credit issues. I did not know anything about how to improve my credit but now I am knowledgeable about how credit works. Pursuing his service has improved my credit score over 800+ and negative items are gone. I recommend C Y B E R D O N at T E C H I E dot C O M to anyone and everyone I know.”

“I've bought from Currys forever, the only thing over the last 35 years that I have not bought from them was an Onkyo AV receiver and a set of Yamaha surround sound speakers - and that was only because I'd have to have travelled Cardiff to get that sort of thing at the time. Everything else from printers; televisions; computers; flash drives; fridges; freezers; washing machines; kitchen appliances and hard drives; you get the idea, I've bought from Currys using the same name, same address, same email address etc, and it was no different a few days ago when I spent nearly £1,150 on a new OLED LG TV and 5 Years cover. (The young man who sold me this was brilliant by the way that's why there are 2 stars). Two days later I realised that it would be a good idea to buy a portable hard drive to plug into that television, so I could watch 4K content from it. I could also choose a red one which would differentiate it from the others I've got connected to my Blu-ray player and and AV receiver. So I bought one online - click and collect, paid for it and then left for the store immediately as the email I recieved told me it was available for immediate collection. Off I went on the 30 minute journey, not taking anything but the phone which had the email and reference number. A phone that is protected by fingerprint I might add. When I got there I happily walked into the store, Mr. Manager man was there to greet, asked me if I knew what I wanted there that day, I told him what I'd ordered and paid for and then he said I had to have the last 4 digits if the card with which I paid. I told him I didn't know what they were but that it didn't matter as if they look on my phone they will see the email and the receipt, also the notification from Barclays telling me I had spent £57. On top of that I explained that if they log onto their system and bring up my records (which they can do), I could tell them exactly what I'd bought from them in reverse order, starting with the £1,000 TV I had bought in that very store two days prior. Now I am a pretty easy-going type of person. I get taken advantage of by unscrupulous people because of it but as I've got older I've become far less tolerant of those people and companies who provide a service for which I pay. I hate being rude or crass but am sometimes pushed to it in situations where stubborn and needless behaviour grind my gears, it takes a while and then I just snap. Ok, I should've read the email but I didn't, I also understand the need for security but boy oh boy, it was so simple for me to prove to them who I was and that I was the person who had bought the hard drive. Jobsworths that they are, and a pointless five minutes during which I must have heard the term 'last 4 digits" 10 times, I decided to forget it and have a refund, yes, you guessed it, they wanted my last 4 digits for that too. That was when I decided that enough was enough. I told them, loudly that they were quick enough to take the money and finally having read the email there in front of them, I pointed out that all the information was there apart from how to get a refund. No matter what I told them, how I could prove who I was, how they could prove who I was and that I did actually remember the last 2 numbers of the card, they came out with the same old rhetoric. "We need the last 4....." I stood back from the counter, told them that the hard drive was for the TV I had bought there 2 days ago, and I gave them one last chance to give me my hard drive, they began with the 'we need the last 4 digits...." I interrupted and told them I was going home to get the card and the TV and will be returning both. The lady's face was a picture at that point, stunned silence actually. 90 minutes later I was walking out of there minus 1 TV, minus 1 portable hard drive and plus nearly £1,200 better off. Currys on the other hand had lost that money, lost a customer who had been one for over 30 years, I will never even buy paper from them again. Best part is that not only did they need the famous last 4 digits to process the refund, oh no, they also needed my name, address, email and phone number too, the very things I told them I could provide for them to prove I was who I said I was. On my way out I said , as I passed he manager who was still meeting and greeting, the immortal words of Jack O'Neill, "that's what you get for dickin' around." I regretted that as soon as I said it but I was seriously annoyed. In the car, before driving off home I checked Richer Sounds, TV was same price but with 6 year warranty, bought it, it was delivered the next day, got the hard drive from Amazon for £6 less too.”

“This is specifically regarding the Pontypridd branch. This needs to be understood.

“Good post. It's a great warning for users still not taking their online security seriously. I had someone steal $50,000 from me once (crypto). It took me 3 months with the help of RECOVERCOIN at RESCUETEAM dot COM and a bunch of stress to finally get it back but it was a learning experience. Ever since then I have had to tighten up my online presence. If anyone reading this has a similar issue, I recommend using them to recover your lost funds.”

“Ordered a Samsung TV for my parents from Curry’s, Meadowhall Sheffield and paid the £50 to have it installed as I dumbly thought this would be the most hassle-free way. They said they’d install it between 1 and 6pm…never showed up, no email, nothing. Customer phone service useless. Drove over to the store, told to wait for a phone call next day, guess what? No phone call. Drove back and got the £50 refunded. Now I’m away for work and will have to install it myself probably Xmas day. USELESS company. AVOID.”

“How does such a large organisation manage to get something as simple as stock control so wrong? Placed an order for an item that was in stock, and waitied patiently and expectantly for a week, only to receive an email out of the blue saying that the order was to be cancelled due to supplier issues. Very poor to accept an order for something that was not in stock and then wait for a week before cencelling it. I had this issue several years ago with Currys, but assumed that it mnay have been a "one off". I will not be trusting this company again.”

“I paid £20 to have my washing machine delivered yesterday with an extra £25 for the installation service as we desperately needed clean clothes for the next day. The technician told me that he wouldn't be able to disconnect the old washing machine as the isolation tap/valve was broken and to contact a plumber to get it fixed first. About 1 minute after the technicians left I noticed 1 adjustable foot was missing for the new machine and thought maybe it could be in the van where they had unboxed it, so I rang the technician multiple times to no avail as he kept hanging up. Afterwards, I went to get a drink of water and as soon as I switched the tap on there was water everywhere as he didn't put the U bend back on underneath the sink (it didn't need to be fully taken off in the first place). We found that the isolation tap was not broken and that the transit bolts that the tech had removed were nowhere to be seen. We ended up fitting the washing machine ourselves which turned out to be a nightmare and the washer was then stuck in test mode for more than 3 hours. I rang Currys and asked if they would be able to send out an adjustable foot and their reply was that I would have to have the whole washing machine exchanged and I would be looking at Wednesday/Thursday the earliest which is no good as I work 7 days a week and already had to have the day off for the delivery of this one and so I've had to purchase an adjustable foot myself.”

“I didn’t want to put any starts as curry’s is awful…. Don’t EVER buy from them go to John Lewis they are normally cheaper any way and if not they will price match, their customers service is outstanding if you have any issues they will sort right away. I have nothing good to say about curry’s it’s nothing but trouble. curry’s gave me false information to make me purchase a product on the price promise and then said they will give me the price match money back after…… NOT TRUE you don’t have to buy the product at full price and then claim the money back they can price match then and there. And then when they do give you the money back it’s on a curry’s gift card….. again they do not tell you this I do not want for anything else in curry’s it’s a con. Custer service are no help either they either hang up, tell you they will ring you back and don’t, tell you to sort out with the store or there is nothing they can do….. basically anything but actually sort the issue not help what’s so ever so who do you get help from???absolutely shocking, worse service all round, misleading and false information given to make you part with your money DISCUSSING!!!! My issue is still not sorted 7 days on SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE SHOP ELSEWHERE”

“I had several collection accounts that went to debt collectors and were very old. My problem was that they had been resold and been put back on my profile as a new debt. It was really hurting my credit score and I needed someone to help me stop it and then raise my scores to a high 700 across all credit bureaus so I can be qualified for a home. I searched for credit repair help on trustpilot and C Y B E R D O N at T E C H I E dot C O M came highly recommended. He was able to stop and rectify the problem, raising my scores high enough to get me and my family a new home. glad i followed my instincts in letting him help us.”
