Ha Ha just had a giggle with robinson way DCA....
Had a right rude obnoxious a hole call me, insisting that as i overpaid a few months back my monthly payment was up for review and insisted it had to be increased by the amount that i had overpaid by, from £40 pm to £75!!!:eek:
No negotiation, no flexible just obnoxious nasty rudeness... so without telling him that i was actually planning on increasing it slightly i sent forth words of equal rudeness and put the phone down....
Rang straight back and spoke to a lovely lady...
"hello, i've just had a call from a member of your staff who was extremely rude and nasty, tell me, do you get paid commission for increasing payments"
"yes madam we do, i guess it was about the review on your account?"
"well as i was planning on increasing my payment anyway, and you are being nice, would you put my payment up to £50 per month please and collect the commission yourself?"
"yes madam, thats absolutely fine, we only needed an increase to £45 so thats great, and thankyou"
"no worries at all, would you kindly consider walking across the office to your very rude colleague and gloating on my behalf"
"laughs... I'll certainly do that, goodbye"
manners costeth nothing and all that. i've got a headache, i think he caught me on a bad day... :T :T
Good for you Pania... I'll bet the woman is happy she was nice to you! And you're right - manners cost nothing but often make someone's day.
I have one teeny complaint though - you should have asked her to record her gloating and post it on you tube so we could see the moron's face!!!
