    I feel for you, I am in a 5 year contract supposedly but I have never seen a contract or any terms conditions etc my broadband is limited and always going over so costing me 4 times what the latest deals are offering at the moment. This company needs to be on watchdog...

    Another inscrutable move on the chessboard. Knight to QB3?
  • I have been with chess for more than 4 years and they have been fine until i tried to move away to a cheaper contract...
    I moved my business and it took them 3 months to actually get my line moved and when they finally got it connected, there was no broadband!!
    the best they could come up with was to get a fibre package from them for over £50 a month to which i said no!
    So i went to Vodafone who beat there price for both the ADSL and the Fibre package, so i rang chess this is what i had found and i wanted to go with it, to which the sales guy told me to go for it as he couldnt beat that price and again told me i wouldnt be charged because of the "never beaten on price".... So i took out the Vodafone fibre pacakge...
    So basically They could not match or beat the price AND 3 members of there own sales staff all said i would not be charged as i have found a better deal, BUT they have sent me a bill for over £200 Excuse me??? never beaten on price??? RUBBISH!
    THEY ARE LIARS AND THIEVES AND I AM SEEKING COMPENSATION

  • I had been with Chess about 10 years and prior to that Nationwide Telecom who Chess took over about 9 years ago, so effectively a total of over 19 years since November 1998.
    I moved my custom to Zen in May this year and soon after got a bill from Chess for nearly £2000.00. Chess had calculated how much my bills would have totalled up to 20/04/2020 which was the contact (5 years) I had unwittingly entered into. This week I got a final demand and the threat of legal action. I have never signed anything and would appreciate any advice. This issue has been ongoing since 2nd June 2017.
