No help until you say you're leaving...
Isn't it funny how you ask for help and don't get any but as soon as you try to leave, they send texts, emails and call you. Clearly they do have the staff but only "care" about customers when they're leaving. They tried to bribe me to stay, after I've complained on numerous occasions about the service, by telling me what I would be missing... a more expensive service that I've been unhappy with for most of my contract.
What a joke of a company. I have informed them previously that I'm disabled and have mental health disorders, but they never take that in to account especially when hassling me.
They sent a technician from another company who didn't follow social distancing, whose mask kept falling off, who trapped me in the corner of my kitchen and who was incredibly rude and aggressive. I am clinically vulnerable. I complained and they passed the buck to the other company, who didn't even bother responding to my complaint.
Absolutely useless. The cancellation process is so needlessly drawn out, with added guilt trips along the way.
I'll stick with my new SIM only monthly contract, thanks. As soon as I can cancel my broadband too, I will be.
Here is just one of the texts I received after starting the cancellation process, and after they had already called, got my name wrong even after I corrected them and reiterated that I was leaving and there is already a chat transcript that has all of the information...
"Hi from EE. We've sent your PAC Code as requested. If you're leaving to go to another network, give us a quick call before we say "Goodbye". You've got an exclusive SIM only offer waiting for you - get 10GB data for just £10. We've also got price match offers, so give our team a call on 150 to chat through your options. We're pretty sure you'll want to stay. Thanks. Text STOP to 2040 to opt out of all text message marketing."
Oh, and when I tried to text STOP, it informed me that I'd be charged.
What a pushy company. If they can give better deals then they should already be doing so, not waiting until someone is already leaving.
I also received this one:
"Hi from EE. As an EE mobile and EE broadband customer, you get a broadband data boost. This will be removed if you switch or disconnect this number. Find out more at ******** Thanks"
Edit: Not everyone uses social media, yet that is how they have now told me to respond...helpful.
