    my MASSIVE problems with three mobile + result "UPDATED"

    IF ANYONE HAS ANY PROBLEMS WITH THREE, THEN I URGE YOU TO USE THE CONTACT INFORMATION. IF ENOUGH OF US COMPLAIN TO THEM THEN THEY MY SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE.

    Executive.Office AT three.co.uk

    If you fail to get through with the email, then ring 08707 330 295

    I took out a contract with three mobile in September of last year with insurance, and all was well until the phone started to turn it self off on a regular basis. Then the FUN and games started, In total I took my phone in 3 times to my nearest shop to be repaired, with no joy. When I went to take in for the fourth time, I was told to try taking it to Car Phone Warehouse, which I did do and recieved back with the same problem, so I went back to three for the 5th time.

    When I recieved the phone back, I also recieved a letter saying that it can't be repaired due to Physical Damage. The three shop, myself. carphone warehouse could find no damage. When I queried with them about claiming a new phone under insurance I was told that as I had only paid the first months Insurance it had been canceld. They failed to noticfy me that this was the case

    After spending a week on the Phone chasing the call centre to try and find out where the damage is, I was told that the damage was to the software!!!. I was then told that because of this they would send a replacement handset out, can someone please be in. I took the day off work and waited in all day for the handset to arrive, which it failed to.

    When I queried with the call centre, I was told that there was a delay at their end, it will now be with me on this date. Unable to take the day of work again, I asked could it be delievered to work which I was told was'nt a problem and I provided them with my details.

    The day before the delievery I phoned three to confirm the delievery I was told sorry we can't do that.

    Month later I received my monthly bill at my work address, when I quired why, I was told that when I ranged the alternative delivery address the person had changed by billing address and they will change it back, which a text messaged was recieved to confirm. The following month I recieved another bill at work!!

    When I quired with them, I was told that had now changed it back.

    Following their blunder last time, I asked for confirmination in writing, I was told we don't have the authority to do that.

    After another week of chasing three mobile and telling them that the conversation is being recorded on my mobile, I eventually got the following E-MAIL address out of them and was told e-mail them.

    Executive.Office AT three.co.uk

    with in a day of sending the message, I have now being given a caseworker who is investigating the matter.

    If you fail to get through with the email, then ring 08707 330 295

    Re: my MASSIVE problems with three mobile + result "UPDATED"

    I had problems with them at the beginning of the year. I too spoke with a kind lady in the executive office who gave me good advice and tried to reimburse any monies I had lost. They had double charged me at the end of the month and in doing so triggered my overdraft charges at the bank - this happened Sep, Oct, Nov and Dec until January I noticed and cancelled my directdebit on the advice of the said lady.

    My new contract started in April and I am happy with the SE W660i I eventually settled on, much much better than my old RAZr. BUT

    On seeing my new bill, it appears the 'total monthly payment' of £20 is actually £23.50. Yes, they are charging VAT on top of their advertised price. I queried this last week and was told that this was correct.

    Now, im no expert, but doesnt an advertised price have to be the price of the thing with VAT already included?

    Also, since when has 25% off £27 been £7?

    And, surely advertising a 25% off slogan and then clawing back 17.5% in 'VAT' that was never mentioned at any point of the sale, must be a con that cant possibly be legal?

    Re: my MASSIVE problems with three mobile + result "UPDATED"

    Hi Sue,

    They have cault me on the same issue when I took out the contract, giving me one price and failing not to mention about the VAT on top of it. They are also charging me £3.00 for a piece of paper which I don't use, all because I refuse to pay by direct debit.

    When I eventually got hold of the Executive office, and told them that when my contract runs out; I will not be renewing it. I was told that I would have to provide them with 28 DAYS notice off my attention to cancel.

    Do they charge you for not paying by direct debit?

    You may be interested to know that you're not the only one that has that problem!.

    As I have said in my first post, contact the office again and complain. If we all do that then they may take notice.

    Have you thought about contacting BBC Watchdog?

    thanks

    I was hoping the dude on here could maybe advise whether what htey are doing is legit or not.

    My friend just started a contract and he is on the £15 a month contract. His bill is £12 odds and the rest in VAT taKES it upto £15.

    Im pretty sure an advertised price has to have VAT included or at least a caveat on the advertisement. You know the wee asterixed bit in tiny writing?

    I don't think half of them know what they are doing in that call centre. Im sick speaking to badly trained robots.
