    I think Company Reps lost the PM function as a few were abusing it
    and doing a bit of touting for business;)

    I agree with Big Craig, the cancellation department is the only lot that seems to have any sence

    and that is probably why i will never fully excell in private business since i just could not abuse my position in that way and would never have thought about it

    Broken hearted - have you checked on that link that Fermi posted? just thinking it might be better to try and get one person within their company working with you instead of the random script moneys you seem to be getting

    also in the mean time go to www.samknows.com and do their checker to find out who is availible at your local phone exchange since at this rate i think it would be in your best interest to start getting armed with your options

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    So you're aware, as part of a wider-ranging Forum Rules update, company representatives can no longer receive or send private messages.

    Instead, we've asked them to ensure, where possible, that they're posting answers directly on the forum so that everyone can get the benefit rather than just one specific person.

    Where people really do need to give them personal details in order to help sort out an issue company representatives can now include a specific help email address in their profile page and can direct people to their profile page from the forum (but not post the address in posts/threads).

    Andrea :)


    Unfortunately, looks like TalkTalk haven't provided any such email address. :(

    Still banging my head off an incredibly thick talk talk brick wall. They wont even take the beeping payment now as it is not on the system yet the account will not sort out without payment. they have no ability to send out letters and no departments have managers available. Utterly useless.

    They wont cancel it either. Crikey they are starting to make DCA look easy to deal with.

    the problem is even more dire as they are buying up other ISP's at the moment ..

    dont worry i have DCA and solicitors chasing me for money .. even though all @ the ISP have no record of me oweing anything.

    Hi StevieB,

    If you are a TalkTalk Customer with issues regarding a collections agency again I would advise you require registration on the TTMF forum so we can investigate into the collections on your account.
