Chindie Posted August 6, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2015 Scottish Power and their moronic customer support staff. I've only been with them for 2 weeks and they've already annoyed me beyond belief. I tried to enter my meter readings online but it didn't work. So it said I could email them in instead. So I did. I got a reply saying "Thanks Miss Bennett for your meter readings for account number 879873983" It wasn't my account number. Easy mistake to make, should be very easy to correct. Wrong. I must have sent half a dozen emails now explaining that it's the wrong account number and name, can they just make sure they put my meter readings on the right account? Most of the emails just say "Miss Bennett, I can confirm these details have been entered onto your account" But calling me Miss Bennett surely means they're still doing it wrong?! The one I received today says "Miss Bennett I can confirm that the name on your account is Miss Bennett" **** OFF! I feel your pain, been in a similar situation myself recently. However that was hilarious to read! To this day I get bills for Tabatha Pugsley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I have to give a shout out for British Gas at this point. They replaced our meter with a new one. The new one was zeroed. Next time they did a meter reading it was much much lower than previously recorded. So they credited my account with about £1,200. We waited a year before we spent it.

djdabush Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 People who don't use bus lanes when they are not in use (particularly when they start gesticulating at you for correctly using it). People who use the left hand lane on a roundabout when taking the right hand exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdabush Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 The fact that I'd thought of both of those annoyances weeks ago but I'm so lazy it has taken until now to post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I received today says "Miss Bennett I can confirm that the name on your account is Miss Bennett" **** OFF! Go on Twitter and destroy them. They will then call you to sort it out. I have done it with a few companies. The bigger they are the faster they will help. I was not pissed off with Microsoft but I was having problems that I created accidentally, I put it on twitter and someone initially emailed and then called and all was sorted in 15 minutes. Something like "My 2 week Scots Power nightmare continues" ...brief overview of the problems. See what happens, get it re-tweeted by people also. Hopefully that has helped a bit Mrs Beenhitt (Acount 9979873a0983) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lost count of how many times I've asked for a bill to be sent and been ignored every time. These companies slashed their prices before preparing for the influx of new customers. They are going to struggle to retain them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted August 7, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2015 Aston Villa and Tim Sherwood. After last season I was all prepared to give up following football. Free at last. Damn them to hell for getting my hopes up, only to cruelly dash them as I know they will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I suspect that would have acted as even more of a lure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
