Anyone sent a letter of complaint?

Post by TooT »

Normally i avoid petrol station food like the plague because its expensive and shyte but this morning i had the munchies so pulled into an Esso station and bought a Pork Farms king size cheese and onion roll to see me through to lunch.
As you can see by the pic it was filled with next-to f*ck all :evil:

So i'm going to send an email of complaint to Pork Farms to see what they have to say for themselves.
Ive never bothered with doing anything like this before, have any of you done this before? and did you get a reply?

Oh yes, I've sent many in my time, stroppy bastard that I am :oops: . I worked in quality for 10 years so kinda figured that it wasn't fair that I should I take complaints from customers all day then put up with shyte products or service myself, so when I get pissed off someone usually gets both barrels, although I'm more prone to lose it over incompetent service than crap products. My recent victims have included Sky :frown: and the Local Council :evil: . I've had varying degrees of response.... :lol:

I have to be really pissed (off). Junk food doesn't do it for me, I expect it to be inedible muck.
Sirs,

I note with incredulity that British Gas Communications Ltd have resorted to “strong arm” tactics in order to recover this huge sum of £8.76.

I’m sure you will have seen even more idiotic things in your time but I’d just like to take this opportunity to vent my spleen, as it were.

When I ceased my account with them sometime back in January, I was informed I would be sent a final bill and a bag to return their carrier preselect (CPS) unit in. No such items arrived and I was still billed as if my account was still open. I then telephoned British Gas Communications and was told that over a month later the billing department had still not been told I had ceased my account. Some communications company! I then had to explain what a CPS unit actually is, which I find ludicrous seeing as this is how their service is actually delivered. More (some??) training is obviously required. I was still billed the next month so I scribbled a note on the bill to the effect that I still wanted a final itemised bill and a bag to send the CPS box back in. Now I have received this demand.

I will pay the amount due, not because I owe British Gas this paltry amount which they seem to have just plucked from thin air, (indeed they have never proved that I owe them a penny) but in order to prevent this stupidity from ending in court. I do not think they would win, in fact I think it very likely they would be laughed at, however I work nights and also cannot afford to waste the time. I believe that in acting in this manner British Gas Communications are guilty of demanding money with menaces and maybe even obtaining money by deception. However, I am content with the knowledge that it has probably cost them more than this vast sum of £8.76 to employ your services. I also assume this CPS unit is now mine to do with what I will, which will probably involve a large mallet and maybe some lighter fuel.

British Gas Communications have since had the temerity to send me a letter inviting me back to them, to which I can only say hahahahahahahahahahaha and probably add that it would be a cold day in hell.

I hope this is an end to this matter, I also hope you received this letter with the good humour with which it was intended.

Yours truly,
Unskilled meddling sin©e 2007

Its BT that im always arguing with down the phone, this wireless broad band is absolutely sh*t. I must of rang them 5/6 times to see if they can improve the service but nothing. Yet last week they rang me to see if i wanted to extend the contract as its up for renewal in a couple of months. I just laughed at her and hung up :)

and then there is NPower................ :evil:

One of the many jobs I did when I worked for BT was tail measure chasing - clearing up when faults had dragged on for ages. Usually stuff like Paddy putting his jackhammer through a major distribution cable or something similar, not really BT's fault to begin with but they took ownership and made a bad situation worse. I used to have to ring up a certain percentage of customers to see if things were ok now. I've never been so abused in all my life, my coping strategy was to agree with them. Then BT was always full of people who really didn't give a stuff about customers, just job and home, and managers who were a shining example of the Peter Principle, and they had a habit of pushing out new technology before it was good and ready.

I used to use NTL because I had cable tv and it came with a phone line, they made BT look like MIB. Now I use HT, they make NTL look like NASA.

Ahem - not wanting to urinate on your filled pastry products but Tooty drives a van for a living - so that there is either a Sprinter, VW, or Renault type van.

Seems odd, Altough i remember driving a mazda with the indicators on the right, window wipers swinging on every round about till taped my left had to the gearstick.

I'm glad Pug dont do that, mines' floppy, i set of an 80's Disco everytime i hold the stalk down to turn on or off the automatic lights.



If you did complain u'll probly get some free ones sent back to you. Or a canned responce letter.
