Mr Nick goes into battle
« on: March 18, 2013, 09:02:59 AM »
Last week I visited the E ON website to look at their boiler installation service. I filled in the online form. The last question was "Do you want a payment plan" YES/NO

I ticked YES.

Gary e mails me and says, "WE don't offer a payment plan."  rubschin:

I pursue this, or try to, with Customer Services, but they close at 3.30  Banghead

I call the office of the Chief Exec where I talk to Tina and explain my bafflement.

She called back earlier. They don't offer a payment plan. The question is only there to weed out people who cannot stump up £2K instantly since they are viewed as timewasters. I am furious  cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing:

Right, 9.00 and the Office of the Ombudsman is open  eveilgrin:

Well, Trading Standards are on the case and see it as a clear case of misrepresentation. I have also had a shouty phone call with a Director of E ON who appeared to be an idiot  cussing:  ( He called me)

But are you any closer to a new boiler?
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.
