Couldn't Care Less Customer Service
I needed to move the already booked holiday by five days with over six months notice, for which I had to pay £700. Yes, this is annoying but more so when the rep you're speaking to seems to be enjoying your predicament and just keeps saying 'it's in the terms and conditions, you should have read the terms and conditions' over and over again!
I decided to move my holiday via the website as I assumed it would be easier than talking to the rep - wrong! I entered our new dates of travel etc and entered the payment information for the additional fee to then get a message saying 'there was an error with my card'... although on checking my bank, the money had been taken! I then called the premium number again to be told there was no record of me making a change.... although they managed to take the fee?? I was advised there was nothing that could be done until the following day as the Finance Team had left. I was told that someone would call me at 9.15am the following day. On asking, the rep confirmed there were notes on the system, detailing what had happened.
Surprise, surprise nobody called me the next day. I again made a call to Thomson's premium helpline and was told there were no notes on the system of my conversation the evening before. To be fair, on this occasion, the rep called Megan was very helpful and managed to sort the issue.
Customers shouldn't have to put up with this appalling level of customer service. I for one, will not be booking a package holiday again having received such poor service. Thomson's really need to look into training their representatives to deal with Customers correctly.
