Hi I wondered if someone could help with a problem I've been having for the last 13 months with Lovefilm.
About 13 months ago, my husband received a cold call from Lovefilm inviting him to join up. He checked out their deal and then rang back and accepted their deal. He was given his passcode and first time log in details over the phone and they said they would also send this to his email address.
Despite numerous attempts over the last 13 months with logging in - each failing because the log in details did not match, doing a password reset (which has never been received in his email) and emailing Lovefilm... I've finally lost my patience.
My husband has paid out over £140 for a subscription to a service he's never used - I emailed them earlier in the week via their website (see emails below) and they still cannot verify this account's existance!
What can I do next? The payment is on reoccuring payments so I am unable to cancel any monies coming out of his account.
What are my rights as a consumer?

My partner received a cold call last year from LoveFilm. He was set up
with an account and to date he's paid £143 yet we have never once been
able to log into his account, we've never received a confirmation email
of his password/account details and despite using the "forgotten
password" facility have never received a link from LoveFilm to reset our
password and we've never used the service you provide.
We would either like a total refund on what we've paid to date or for
one of your customer service consultants to come back to us with the
queries about our account.
The details of his account are: xxx xxx (Also known as xxx).
With thanks
xxx xxx
What can I do next? The payment is on reoccuring payments so I am unable to cancel any monies coming out of his account.
What are my rights as a consumer?

That really was rotten luck op hope you get it resolvedI'm not bad at golf, I just get better value for money when I take more shots!0

We've phoned them 20 or 30 times - each time they've given us the login details - each time it's wrong!
The update is, the email address they send the password to is incorrect......... stupid idiots! Almost at the end now!0 -
Why sign up if you wasn't going to use the service known they charge every month.
Plus why didn't you write the account details down somewhere or a confirmation email when you signed up.0 -
Could it possibly be that you originally supplied them with an incorrect email address?looktothefuture wrote: »The update is, the email address they send the password to is incorrect......... stupid idiots! Almost at the end now!
Just a thought. :beer:0 -

after the first failure at login, you should have threatened to close the a/c unless it was activated properly, 20 to 30 times?....someone is getting it wrong, more affirmative action was required on your part, to let it drag on as long as you did was just silly....at any stage did you ask them to close the a/c?I'm now a retired teacher... hooray ...:j
