A few years ago, my BT Internet was really bad. It was never good but it became so awful I was getting less than 1MB. This is over about 5 months. Sometimes no internet at all. I complained numerous times to BT. I was lied to. I was ignored, and when I told them they had to sort my Internet out, or I'd leave, they arranged for a BT engineer to call at my house. I waited in all day. He never came. I had to stay off work for that visit and when I rang BT to complain, they told me an appointment hadn't even been booked. I was furious. I'd had enough of theIR lies and very poor 'service'. I left bt and subscribed to my internet elsewhere. Before doing that I asked if I owed BT any money and they said no. In fact they owed me 3p. I left it at that. A year down the line I got a letter from a debt collector saying that they were representing BT and the 'DEBT' I had incurred with them. Apparently just after leaving, BT had slapped a £420 fine for leaving 'out of contract'. Yet for me they BROKE the contract by not supplying a service. I was outraged. I finally had to pay the 'debt' because it went to the County Court. I had never had any outstanding debts in my life. But that filthy dirty company BT made me into someone who has a debt collector on his back, and now I have a black mark on my credit report. Disgusting, appalling. And I had to pay £420 plus COURT costs. AVOID!
