£336 to cancel a contract - OUTRAGEOUS

The simple matter of changing address in mid-December proved impossible. I prepared well in advance asking Kinex what I had to do (at that stage I wanted to stay with them). They said to wait until we had a reliable and real moving date. This I did, but these days you don't know when you are moving until a few days before you do. Once we knew I started calling - and calling - and calling - long hold times, and people passing me to the wrong teams meant that on our moving day I still had not got the old phone (and broadband) cancelled.. this left the phone LIVE for the new occupants. I was finally called by a bloke at 4pm on the day of the move.. I was in the van with the cat on my lap in the final (and stressful) run of the day and the guy said he needed 15 minutes to run through some things.. I said, NOT NOW - I'm moving - please just cut off the old phone - he said he couldn't and couldn't be sure when he'd be able to call back.. so there it was - the final nail in the coffin. The WORST customer service ever, unhelpful, inefficient and they left my old phone line live untiI got through on Monday. Now they sent me a bill for £336 to disconnect. Be VERY careful before jumping in with these guys - they are good at selling, but as soon as you need something from them expect to wait and you will PAY.

Good Afternoon,

We are sorry to hear that you have not been happy with the service received.
I have reviewed the account and can see that we were only informed that you had moved out on the 10/12 and we attempted to speak with yourself on 11/12 at which point we were unable to discuss the process as you advised you were busy at which point we advised that we could not guarantee a repeat call back same day.
This has been placed into the worklist and should be picked up asap.

We previously advised on 20/11 when you initially queried the process for moving address that it would be best to begin the process at least 2/3 weeks before you are due to moving out as the process requires orders to be placed to move the services and may require an Openreach engineer visit.

I have raised your concerns on the account and someone will be in contact in due course.

Kind regards

Ryan
Customer Service
