Hi @pureedfruit I was rather surprised to see that you asked for the thread to be closed down, i guess this wasn't true though based on this.
I wanted to thank you for your support on the other thread, you have obviously been through a similar experience as I have here and can relate to the situation. I just wanted to clear up one of the points kdog was referring to in not so many words, that i was refusing to engage - this is nowhere near the truth either i have been prepared to engage at any time and have several times made the effort to contact PN. I wasn't being awkward by not providing a time for them to call me, i genuinely can't give a time as i might be right in the middle of an emergency in my job (i have to pay the bills, i have responsibilities to my colleagues). if the phone rang and i happened to see it ringing and was free i honestly would pick up the call.
which brings me onto my final points here, @Gandalf was in the end, the only person from PN who attempted to contact me, and on his second attempt of getting around the caller ID with held issues, just happened to catch me on my lunch break (which is never ever at the same time every day which is why i couldn't commit to even a lunch time call). I don't know what kind of job kdog has but it seems rather lax if he would be able to provide any time of day call slots.
I do apologize @Gandalf for the initial tone and negative response i had towards you, however i have been through 3 months of problems trying to give PN my money dealing with around a dozen people along the way, which was followed by previous months of issues caused by BT OR further aggravated by PN CS. it seems the technical issues (which to be honest they weren't it was incompetence from BT OR engineers really, there was no switch failure, or cable break, or flooding or any act of God or mother nature) were very minor in comparison to the people issues at PN.
In the end, Gandalf resolved the issue for me to a satisfactory ending, but he sure did understand exactly how angry i was with the service provided by others in the team. I don't know if the customer service experience i have had is going to be long term damaging to any future business or not, at the moment i have no intention to return, but on a compromise i am remaining a mobile customer for the time being at least because there is no issue to be disappointed with on that.
Maybe the rest of PN CS can take a note of this, for a customer who is trying to get a problem sorted - especially when they are trying to honestly GIVE YOU MONEY it means a lot to receive a call to resolve the issue, if the Accounts team are just sat on their behinds all day waiting for customers to contact them then i don't know how they can be stable in their employment. Luckily when i used to work in finance i never got involved with chasing money but i can assure you i'd be on that phone like a cold caller trying to get that payment.
Anyway, thanks Gandalf but maybe you are wasted at PN and should work somewhere where CS can take note, because i dont think PN will ever change, even less chance now they're part of BT.
