    He sounds ok gina,he had lots of calls already,all with obviously a different storys to tell.
    i think he's trying to focus on the harrassment side of things and very poor customer experiences.
    But boy has he got a lot of info on these crooks!!:T:T:j:j

    Must be a very busy reporter, can't get through to spreak so will send him an email with mobile number on so he can contact me.I

    Any more news on Cattles? had a read thorough the Ft and they haven't updated (or can't) anything else since the 1st April.

    The wf office in Exeter is about to close (apparently) The Truro office is manned by 3 now the area manager, the office manager and the telephonist. Closed quite a bit, maybe they don't like people calling on them giving them a hard time????????????????????:rolleyes::rotfl:

    Yes your right, but it's the little men with the big egos that are the
    "jobs worth I'm important" gremlins.
    Do you think Compliance are similar to wf?

    You had a good day then??????????:eek: (oops sorry!) I have given up with them, not going to waste time & effort any more. I am just going to sit back & wait, I don't really know what i expect to happen.
    No good me ringing the wf lot down here thev'e all been made redundant!:T
    Rang the reporter today & gave him my tale of woe.
    He seems to have collected quite a bit of info on wf, nothing that would give them a gold star.

    Lol I'm not surprised, WF are incompentent from the top all the way to the bottom!

    Like Gina, I'm not wasting my time anymore with them, it's in the hands of the FOS and WF will just need to wait. :)
  • Yep gina that reporter sounds really switched on as regards welscum-he has defo done his homework.
    But hey its a great story for the press this one as it involves so many people!!
    i told sky about it NOT INTERESTED,that sums up murdochs croneys anyway:o
    welsum and sky are well matched for robbing people!!!:rotfl::rotfl:

  • well sent my letter today so fingers crossed sent to them a 3 page complaints letter and asked them to reply to my form I sent or even maybe have the courtesy of a reply.

    Also said to stop harrassing me at work and home by telephone or I would be seeking legal advice!

    So its' now a waiting game......
