What a bunch of lying "people"

Orderd BT INF 2 1st May.

Cancelled 9th May after all the horror stories.

Paid £6.95 postage and £140 deposit.

Got postage back 2 days after cancellation. Now being told I have to wait a month to get a final bill and then up to 40 working days to get the deposit back

Was told yesterday on live chat it has been refunded and would be back without 5 working days.

Sick of the lies this idiotic company spins.. Would my bank be able to reverse it?

Edit : I've been to the bank and I can't get it back until BT give it. I am really wishing I had not spent another £100 now on another ISP. I'm now 9 working days and £150 behind. oh well.

I think banks only generally reverse charges where they were made in error - in this case the charge was to pay for a service that you have subsequently cancelled so the charge was valid.

No harm in trying the bank but I doubt they have powers to reverse legitimate payments.

My Mum was miles in credit after BT didn't adjust payments down automatically (oddly they adjust them up quickly enough). It took over 6 months to get it credited because they apparently can only credit a certain amount at a time - they are worse than even the electric/gas companies at taking overpayments and then not refunding them.

Should "would be back without 5 working days" be "within"?

I've no idea what I was in your deleted reply, but I genuinely thought there was a typo in your post. Very possibly a wrong "autocorrect" which I frequently see coming from my spellcheckers, and often don't notice till after posting.

As it is, I shall remain ignorant of what "would be back without 5 working days" means, if it shouldn't be "within".

I agree having to wait 40 days was ridiculous and unacceptable. Waiting up to five working days, (assuming "within"), seems perfectly normal.

Do you suffer from OCD where spelling is concerned. Appears like it.

Just to prove they are idiots with no clue

Random made up name at my new address with 10yr living here - made up DOB and passed credit check with £0 deposit.

[censored] fools!

And you accuse them of lying. Providing false information in order to pass a credit check sounds a little bit like fraud to me.

Is this a question, Mark?
