As i predicted in post 5236
I reckon Redten is now officially deadten and you are now going to be transferred to Fatcat/Clode as your service provider using NJP as there backbone so they then control the service which they were joint liable for and have decided its easier to supply unlimited as there are apparently hundreds of people with problems according to clode today when i spoke to them and if redten go down clode loose everything as its a breach of contract.
Thats what the important announcement will be.
I moved to BT as soon as the walled garden message came up so ive had no problems with getting a mac i was one of the lucky ones who got in quick so didnt get transfered to njp
I sent my recorded delivery complaints and got 1 letter threatening legal action for non payment so I rang and complained about it and 4 weeks later i got the letter saying I owe nothing and can keep the comp
this forum has been a fantastic help long live people power
Nice one Walber im in the same boat and they said the only way out for me is £150 ,im going to give them some crap on the phone tomorrow and go the court route.
I phoned fat div internet when i got the letter this evening and had a go at the bloke on the phone i was seething as i feel this is an absolute p*ss take especially the name :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:0 -
Likewise I received the exact same letter today. Anyone got any thoughts as to where we stand with this and if we will still be be able to progress through courts?
I did do the pre-April RD letters and got the blanket stonewall letter.
I'm finding it very difficult to even find time to devoting to sorting this all out. :mad:

You can give them all the chances you want, I would rather stick red hot needles in my eyes, they may answer their phones but you try to get to speak to anyone who may be able to help!
Sorry not in today...
Out to lunch I'm afraid....
Will get him to call you back....
not in until Wednesday.........
Gone home for the day.....
Are but a few of the platitudes for plebs that were used to me, and I am sure everyone else.
To be fair they are better than Redten, but it is a little like saying Hitler was better than Attila the Hun, or the Yorkshire Ripper is better than Jack the Ripper, it is a question of degree.
The only reason Clode started Fatcat, was to minimise their losses, and if in the future that means dumping the punter elsewhere, then it will be a case of so be it. They will do the minimum necessary to avoid big losses, and the further from March it gets the less they will have to do.
You have been warned, get out, if and while you can.
As for registering my details I don't think I would be welcome somehow, hope I don't lose too much sleep over it.
And yes I know DONT FEED THE TROLLS Sorry but I couldn't let it pass without comment

We have been made aware of some concerns around Redten's service in recent months and rest assured that we can assure you that Fatcat will work to ensure that your service in future will be of the highest standard.
I am also pleased to confirm that we have the full support of Clode Retail Finance Ltd (the finance provider to your Redten account) and we will work closely with them to ensure we answer any questions you may have.
