A very long story, basically there is a phantom telephone line associated with my house which TalkTalk continue to charge me for.

My actual phone line is with their sister company Tiscali – all is well with Tiscali

But TalkTalk have now called in a debt collector for their rogue account….

…does anyone in STW have an email address for one of the key directors (Ops or Cust Service Director or CEO) at TalkTalk, Tiscali or CarphoneWarehouse please?

No no, you're just not aware of the faults yet 🙂

Have you tried sitting on the phone and refusing to leave until you get to speak to a top level manager? Took me a good 10 minutes but I managed it.

"Refuse to leave until speak to manager" …yup! At least half a dozen times, they pretend to transfer you, put you on hold for 2/3 minutes and then cut you off. Seems almost routine, they have it off to a fine art now, just this morning I was put on hold while they got manager and they then pressed the magic button "this office is closed due to an evacuation, please call back in 15 minutes".
Tw@…

….that's why I am now on the look out for an execs email address, trying to do it by phone is a joke!

Chief Executive – Charles Dunstone dunstoc@cpwplc.com

Took about 2 seconds with google, welcome to the internet 😉

Thanks coffeeking, been through the channels referred to there and escalated today to Otelo.

Now including Dunstone, thanks Ziggy, you're amazing!

Wahay! Email received from Dunstone the CEO today and one of his team is on it and have called to confirm…it almost feels like good service !

Good stuff! It's a shame it takes such brute force to get a decent response.

Ring Royal Mail 0845740740,and ask for the address that the PO box relates to, then google that address, and perhaps ring a few firms at that address and ask to be put through to TALK TALK, they may have an ex directory number,but it may be fun.

Includes there switchboard number.

edit missed your last post glad you got it sorted

I've emailed the entire board of directors for a few companies – 02 and BT were the last ones. It's a shame that sometimes you need to resort to it but if I'm getting nowhere with the call centres I've got no hesitation. It usually guarantees an almost instant response 🙂 It's normally easy to get the names from Google and work out the email addresses from there.
