useless plusnet

Fuming — Thu, 24 Mar 2022 07:29:35 GMT

To be honest I wish I had never contacted Plus net, I find them useless and the customer service a waste of time

I got my £75 card and it wouldn`t accept the log in details given. So haven`t had the benefit promised.

All attempts with customer service have been contact our 3rd party partner. I signed a contract with plus net not a 3rd party company. I have been waiting several days for a 4 hour call back from a manager that never happens.

My honest review on Plus Net is don`t bother...Not many worse companies than them

I am now going contact ombudsman to see if I can get them to help me out of contract as they havent given me the incentive promised which I see as part of the contract.

I have nothing good to say about PLUS NET

I understand your frustration and more, but might it be worth biting the bullet and contacting the "partner" which I can only assume is the card provider?

Hi there,

I'm really sorry to see you're having issues activating your reward card.

While I appreciate that you've bought a service from us, we don't provide the card directly so you'll need to call the reward card provider which is explained in our cashback FAQs Here that forms a part of our terms and conditions.

Is there any way you'd be able to give them a ring on 0344 879 1069? Let me know how you get on.

ombudsman now contacted

Re: useless plusnet

I very much doubt you will get anywhere with the "ombudsman" because of the Ts & Cs you will have agreed to, as advised by Gandalf.

With respect, why is it such an issue phoning the number Gandalf has provided?

Finding a route to a solution removes grounds for having a good fuming huffing and puffing session.

As advised, the reward card management is provided by a third party, whose management systems Plusnet has no access to. Therefore as per the instructions which come with the card, the third party is the point of contact for registration issues.

Personally I’d like to see the back to bribery schemes to attract new customers to be replaced by simple honest pricing. However I’m told that users would rather pay £25pcm with a £70 cash back than £19pcm with zero cash back. Sadly such appears to be gullible greed of some consumers.

[-Censored-] companies need to give incentives to join them

This is now with the ombudsman and then will go to the information commissioner

i wasnt told i would have deal with 3rd party company and quite frankly dont give a [-Censored-] what any employees think

Re: useless plusnet

Fuming — Sun, 27 Mar 2022 19:17:20 GMT

By sounds of iy you might not understand contract law

i signed with this company so my contract is with this company

plus net signed with 3rd party, under contract law i deal with plusnet you deal with 3rd party company

as said i have asked ombudsman to look at data protection as i have not agreed to this company holding my data and under gdpr this is my right

you can do what you want as well as others not my concern

low level employees are script readers no power to change so your views are not important

suck up to company that pays your wage dont feel the need to voice an opinion on things over your paygrade

@Fuming

Superusers, as with Moderators, are not employees of Plusnet.

Re: useless plusnet

Fuming — Sun, 27 Mar 2022 19:29:09 GMT

Whatever not interested in company suck

I think they mislead people to join and have looked at t and c

Wasnt clear at sign up so under contract law it is flawed

If disagree get a life and just contact people interested in superusers views

I am not

@Fuming

Please take a step back and reaquaint yourself with the Forum Rules.

I can understand your frustration but posting all capitals is considered shouting and makes posts harder to read as well as against the Forum Rules.

Please desist from posting in such a manner.

Possibly a poor analogy, but, a person buys a computer from company A, the computer is made by company B.

Said computer goes belly up and person contacts company A. Yes, the contract of sale is with company A. However, although it's up to company A to resolve the issue, the customer is advised to contact company B. Doing this could be more benificial to the customer in reaching a satisfactory solution.

I suggest that you understand consumer rights act before you put your view on

contract law is simple i bought off plus net and have no contractual terms with the card supplier and wont accept my personal data being sold off for a few quid. Plus net have a legal duty not to sell my info under gdpr and you can do as you want, nothing do with me and I will persue my case against Plus net via ombudsman who have accepted my complaint and the information commissioner.

A lot of people are unhappy with the card and from online views they at least understand the subject

Anyone wanting put up with plus net up to any of you, I am looking into the data protection an see plus net give out names, telephone numbers and email addresses, selling info to 3rd party companies. I have notified plus net that I have contacted all relevent sources to protect my data

You or anyone can sort yourself

Re: useless plusnet

newagetraveller — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 10:20:41 GMT

I, for one, am well sorted, thanks for the advice.

I think we are aware of consumer rights and have the common sense and logic to not make the old mountain out of the proverbial molehill.

Can you prove PN have "sold" your data? I would, personally, be very careful about what is written in the public domain. Data is routinely and legally exchanged between different parties, e.g. a credit reference agency providing information about a person when they apply for credit etc..
