Vodafone, Vodafone, Vodafone...
Kohtasin puhelinoperaattorini Vodafonen kanssa liudan ongelmia viime kuussa. Nämä suurinpiirtein ratkaistiin lopulta, kun kirjoitin sähköpostia yhtiön UKn toimitusjohtajalle.
Tarkistettuani viimeisimmän laskuni jouduin toteamaan että yhtiö on jopa huonompi kuin ensivaikutelma antoi ymmärtää. Mieleeni hiipi Timo Rautiaisen sanat, "Minä olen miettinyt miksi; tyhmyys, pahuus, vai molemmat?"
Alla viimeisin sähköpostiviestini, jälleen toimitusjohtajalle.
Dear Sir,
This is the second time I am contacting you since becoming a customer of Vodafone in early July. In my previous email, I complained about various issues related to weak customer service and the badly functioning and contradictory My account system and My Vodafone app. I was contacted the day after, and those individual problems were mostly resolved
Sadly, I am forced to make yet another complaint in only my second month with Vodafone, this time on a far more significant issue. 53 hours ago, I contacted the customer service of Vodafone via email about the problem, to no response. As the issue is urgent, and to be honest, quite outrageous, I am writing to you again.
My latest Vodafone bill contains a total of four extra charges, amounting to nearly 200 pounds, which are clearly erroneous. They are as follows:
1. 21/7/2012: "Mobile internet" for 27.599 MB -> 4.167 pounds
2. 28/7/2012: "Mobile internet" for 27.599 MB -> 4.167 pounds
3. 29/7/2012: "Internet sharing" for 953.515 + 661.252 MB -> 12.501 + 12.501 pounds
4. "Overdue balance" -> 150.0 pounds
I am in the second month of my free data test drive, as confirmed to me personally by the person contacting me upon my previous complaint. Thus charges 1-3 clearly should not exist. Finally, charge number 4 is simply inexplicable to me. What, in the name of reason, is this charge for?
I hope you understand how humiliated I feel as a customer. My bill has effectively been multiplied by a factor of ten, and customer service seems to be in no rush to correct the matter, nor even to respond to my complaint.
Also, I am certain that a part of your customers do not take the time to actively check their bills. For the sake of us all, I hope that the above bill, of my second month with Vodafone, is not representative of the competence of the company in this area.
My direct debit charging date is Monday 13/8/2012. I certainly expect the bill to be corrected before that time.
Sincerely,
Eero Holmstrom
