  • I've posted elsewhere my bad experience and following is an extract from the closing email from SP, which says it all.

    "The details of your sales call have been sent to our Compliance Manager for Verbal sales. They have already confirmed that the call has been listened to and the Agency Manager for the Agent concerned will conduct an internal investigation to ensure the information given to you is not given to any other customers."

    I think that should have said ' information given WAS not given to any other custmers'.

    Only if they possess a tardis ;)

    They cannot change what has already happened ... only take appropriate action to ensure it doesn't happen in the future.

  • Am I wrong in thinking this is all about commission for the sales reps?

    In my case SP know who the rogue agent is and have listened to our recorded conversation, so it's not rocket science to trace every recorded conversation this agent had. Doh.

    That's exactly what it's about.

    But without a tardis, how are they going to change what was said? :confused:

  • Is this sort of thing only a problem with Scottish Power or are sales reps for other companies doing the same?

    If you pay sales staff on commission in any industry you will get misrepresentation at best, to deceipt at worst.
