I've not had a 4 g signal since the outbreak started. Just 3g for some reason.

That will be because so many people are at home using their phones so the capacity for connections is reduced.

Still, not buying decimated.

We're telling you how it is and what people are seeing out there in the real world.  Refuse to accept it all you like, but call centres in particular are very badly hit.

Theres some people cant accept facts i guess - some still think the world is flat....

And there are people that just accept what they are told. You wanna be wary of those people.

I gave you are actual figures of whats happening out there based on my experience and my wifes experience in Call Centre management.

Just because you're chosing not to believe it doesnt make it not true.

And just cos it's what you are seeing at your immediate location doesn't make it any more true for everywhere. ;-)

Its not our immediate location, no.  My wifes call centre group is world wide and have 8 large sites across the UK.  All the UK sites are seeing similar issues / rates of absence.  

Also Born_Again gave pretty much the same information about a banking Call Centre.  

Common sense would tell you that call centres - usually with 1,000+ people working in close proximity are going to be experiencing massive issues with CV-19.

So if you want to deny all that, then fine.  Doesnt make you right though.

Indeed.   A lot of people will be working from home now and using their data allowance (or their work phone data allowance) to connect in to work.

Same for you. But I know who I trust.

Just remember as well many other counties that host call centers (India for one, which is in total lockdown). So any company with a call center or staff out there have lost them all for now, unless they already had home working set up.

If you do not believe this, then try ring round a range of companies via the phone and see either how long you have to wait, or get the message it's not open.

Rainmaker - based off your comment you don't seem like a nice person so don't worry about it mate. 

No probably not, but when you live on the never never it eventually catches up with you, totally bonkers.

Give it six months and the market will be flooded with nearly new C Class / 3 Series / A4 in white...

What about an E Class in black? Had an E220 for a hire car once and best car I've ever driven, just nearly £40k more than I really want to spend based on new OTR prices anyway

Just looking at them on Motorpoint. The vehicle tax rates are really crazy. Some are registered before March 2017 and cost £20 per year. Some are registered after April 2017 and with a list price of over £40K are £465 per year.

Not much help in this thread just people looking down their noses saying I told you so, despite not knowing about anyone's individual situations. 

Hope you get sorted Barry anyway. I've emailed them again, it's all we can really do I guess!

They are going to be losing a lot of money because people won't be able to pay and they will go bankrupt and have their cars re-possessed. I don't think they are going to tell everybody to forget their payments. Some people will have more money. I have the same amount of money but have nothing to spend it on. They will probably just continue to get payments from people that can afford it and people that can't pay won't pay. You've bought something that's value is dropping like a stone. It's value will probably drop even faster because of coronavirus. Someone has to pay for that massive depreciation.
