Complaint letter.

This a copy of a complaint letter that was actually received by NTL.


Dear Cretins,
I have been an NTL customer since 9th July 2001, when I signed up for your
3-in-one deal for cable TV, cable modem, and telephone.
During this three-month period I have encountered inadequacy of service
which I had not previously considered possible, as well as ignorance and
stupidity of monolithic proportions. Please allow me to provide specific
details, so that you can either pursue your professional prerogative, and
seek to rectify these difficulties - or more likely (I suspect) so that you
can have some entertaining reading material as you while away the working
day smoking B&H and drinking vendor-coffee on the bog in your office.
My initial installation was cancelled without warning or notice, resulting
in my spending an entire Saturday sitting on my fat ar*e waiting for your
technician to arrive. When he did not arrive at all, I spent a further 57
minutes listening to your infuriating hold music, and the even more annoying
Scottish robot woman telling me to look at your helpful website.... how? I
alleviated the boredom to some small degree by playing with my testi*les for
a few minutes - an activity at which you are no-doubt both familiar and
highly adept.
The rescheduled installation then took place some two weeks later, although
the technician did forget to bring a number of vital tools - such as a
drill-bit, and his cerebrum.
Two weeks later, my cable modem had still not arrived. After several further
telephone calls (actually 15 telephone calls over 4 weeks) my modem arrived
... a total of six weeks after I had requested it, and begun to pay for it.
I estimate that the downtime of your internet servers is roughly 35%...
these are usually the hours between about 6pm and midnight, Monday to
Friday, and most of the useful periods over the weekend.

I am still waiting for my telephone connection. I have made 9 telephone
calls on my mobile to your no-help line this week, and have been unhelpfully
transferred to a variety of disinterested individuals, who are it seems also
highly skilled boll*ck jugglers.
I have been informed that a telephone line is available (and someone will
call me back), that no telephone line is available (and someone will call me
back), that I will be transferred to someone who knows whether or not a
telephone line is available (and then been cut off), that I will be
transferred to someone who knows whether or not a telephone line is
available (and then been redirected to an answer machine informing me that
your office is closed), that I will be transferred to someone who knows
whether or not a telephone line is available (and then been redirected to
the irritating Scottish robot woman.... and several other variations on this
theme.

Doubtless you are no-longer reading this letter, as you have at least a
thousand other dissatisfied customers to ignore, and also another one of
those crucially important testi*le-moments to attend to.
Frankly I don't care, it's far more satisfying as a customer to voice my
frustrations in print than to shout them at your unending hold music.

Forgive me, therefore, if I continue.
I thought BT were sh*t, that they had attained the holy piss-pot of
god-awful customer relations, that no-one, anywhere, ever, could be more
disinterested, less helpful or more obstructive to delivering service to
their customers. That's why I chose NTL, and because, well, there isn't
anyone else is there?
How surprised I therefore was, when I discovered to my considerable
dissatisfaction and disappointment what a useless shower of bast*rds you
truly are. You are sputum-filled pieces of distended rectum - incompetents
of the highest order. British Telecom - w*nkers though they are - shine like
brilliant beacons of success, in the filthy puss-filled mire of your
seemingly limitless inadequacy.

Suffice to say that I have now given up on my futile and foolhardy quest to
receive any kind of service from you. I suggest that you do likewise, and
cease any potential future attempts to extort payment from me for the
services which you have so pointedly and catastrophically failed to deliver
- any such activity will be greeted initially with hilarity and disbelief -
although these feelings will quickly be replaced by derision, and even
perhaps a small measure of bemused rage.

I enclose two small deposits, selected with great care from my cats litter
tray, as an expression of my utter and complete contempt for both you, and
your pointless company. I sincerely hope that they have not become
desiccated during transit - they were satisfyingly moist at the time of
posting, and I would feel considerable disappointment if you did not
experience both their rich aroma and delicate texture. Consider them the
very embodiment of my feelings towards NTL, and it's worthless employees.
Have a nice day - may it be the last in you miserable short life, you
irritatingly incompetent and infuriatingly unhelpful bunch of tw*ts,

This is what the Crusader in the Express should be like.

Pete (Pete), Monday, 6 January 2003 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

That's been doing the rounds for a while, think I'll send something similar to BT.

smee (smee), Monday, 6 January 2003 14:41 (twenty-two years ago)

What a twat.

Graham (graham), Monday, 6 January 2003 14:43 (twenty-two years ago)

He doesn't even know the difference between disinterested and uninterested.

Anyone who uses the word 'sputum' in an insult is a bit of a prick.

N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 6 January 2003 14:52 (twenty-two years ago)

but uninterested sputum rocks my world, isn't it awful?

g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 6 January 2003 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I do hope they're not like that on Wednesday, that would ruin my special day.

chris (chris), Monday, 6 January 2003 15:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, don't get me wrong - NTL are completely hopeless when it comes to customer service. You will suffer misery, Chris.

N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 6 January 2003 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I second that.

smee (smee), Monday, 6 January 2003 15:16 (twenty-two years ago)

They've been ok so far, apart from deciding to come round and fit the box on the afternoon of my birthday, grrrrrr.

chris (chris), Monday, 6 January 2003 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, that reminds me. Some idiot told me it was yr birthday on Saturday, hence the drunken 3am I love you text.

N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 6 January 2003 15:24 (twenty-two years ago)

that's hilarious

ron (ron), Monday, 6 January 2003 15:55 (twenty-two years ago)

i didnt get any text....

g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 6 January 2003 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

That was you, you bastard!

though Chris knows my thoughts on leaving your mobile on overnight....

Vicky (Vicky), Monday, 6 January 2003 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I've been composing a complaint letter in my mind to AT&T Broadband for how they fucked up my net connection in the move. I'm going to wait until I get DSL installed though -- and I won't be quite so, er, scattershot.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 6 January 2003 16:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick, it was a touching text that I liked, although I did forget to tell Vicky who it was from when it woke us up. Someone tried ringing straight after too!

chris (chris), Monday, 6 January 2003 16:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I worked for MORI once doing telephone research, one of the questions was "How would you rate the service you're getting from privatised utilities" and one guy said "Bring back the gallows"

dave q, Monday, 6 January 2003 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)

eleven years pass...

want to send a letter by mail but don't want to go out and buy letter, stamps, print it out, post, etc so searched for a way of doing this online. found pc2paper co uk which seems a bit cheap & cheerful. anyone used this? or recommend a better simpler site for it?

NI, Saturday, 19 July 2014 16:14 (eleven years ago)

two years pass...

might draft one of these to hertz, whove taken a hundred quid from my credit card for some reason

spud called maris (darraghmac), Monday, 8 May 2017 22:10 (eight years ago)

are complaint letters anything other than mediocre ben elton vehicles as per above tho

in 2017 how does one go about getting money back from hertz. tweet? fb? shotgun?

spud called maris (darraghmac), Monday, 8 May 2017 22:15 (eight years ago)

write your credit card issuer to complain about hertz's overcharge. be specific. hertz won't give a tinker's damn what a little guy like you thinks about their business practices, but the credit card issuer can tell hertz to fuck off on your behalf and they'll have to take it and grin.
