mis-sold TV package

I decided to upgrade to fibre when it arrived in around March this year. 

Was clearly told on the call that my package would be the same for TV if I moved this to EE too at the same time.

It then turns out that I was mis-sold the TV package as I have lost Now TV movies and now have netflix with adverts, whereas before I had no adverts.

The sales person also mis-sold me an extra sim card which I have had compensation for.

It has now been 5 weeks and I have had to chase up again.

Does anyone know which of the two ombudsman services I need to go to on a TV complaint?

Yes i did and despite the phone records clearly stating what was offered for the price i have been told that you will not honour what you quoted originally and i should cancel if i dont like the new offer!!!!! Also, asking people to sign their contracts on the phone whilst the advisor holds on is pressured sales.

I have reported all of this to the Ombudsman and the fact that all you have done is text me to say case is closed and offered no deadlock letter.

Absolute shambles and this needs highlighting to as many potential customers as possible to steer clear of EE so the more people that report you to the Ombudsman the better

Hi @Nikkid197405

Thanks for getting back to me. 

Could you please confirm if the complaint was closed from our front line team or our Executive Care team?

No idea as i can’t get past the first advisor I speak to. Was told yesterday i would be put through to a manager and then told i couldnt and to accept revised offer or would have to leave!!!

I asked to be put through to complaints team and was told i could only speak to a manager but after being on hold for ages the advisor came back to say no and that they would not be changing their stance. I havent gone into the full details here of what has taken place but many regulations have been broken, including failure to issue a deadlock letter and only close the case by text  so the Comms Ombudsman can now take this matter up. 

Once they have dealt with this, i cant wait to get away from EE, huge mistake moving over from my other provider, but when you’re lied to over the phone, believing you’re getting a great package, only to find you haven’t upon installation and nothing is as promised, I can see why so many consumers are now in this awful predicament. Truly disgraceful
