    How can I make a complaint when these customer "service" people treat me like this?
  • edited October 2009
    I'm not a miracle typer, I can't type my complaint in 16 seconds.

    make your complaint with me on here and i will deal with your problem and i promise not to tell anyone of your ' little problem' lol
  • edited October 2009
    can u complain 2 customer services about customer services, i give u 3 seconds lol
  • edited October 2009
    Yeah I guess I am over reacting.

    I am a paying customer, and not to type out details of a compliant in 16 seconds is probably an over reaction on my part.

    Hmmm....

    Let me think on how long I have played here, and how many emails I get from other poker sites asking for my custom, and balance that against this, my 2nd time of ever contacting customer service...

    Hrmm.....

    Well, let's face it her/his typing skills are obviously vastly superior to mine, after all, I did not capitlize the "i" just for starters, and not responding in 16 seconds makes me a total dumbwit.

    yeh Draig and if you do this then no more freerolls / perks/ competition wins for you lol

    A suggestion for you. While your waiting to connect type out your complaint then right click/copy, When they answer paste it. To get your own back make it about 2000 words long.

    Dear Sir/Madam, I wish to make a complaint. 

    My actual original complaint is minor, and I naively presumed would be dealt with in a professional and speedy manner, but it does involve me losing money due to a technical issue, and therefore losing blinds while using Sky Poker. However since then, and through trying to contact your customer “service” reps in order to raise the issue, the level of “service” I received was, frankly, appalling. I only managed to screenshot (copy paste) the 3rd conversation with one of your reps, after being hung up on for the 3rd time while trying to make the complaint. 


    Here is the copy paste, which has also been posted on your forum, of the 3rd….let us say, conversation.  

    21:40:02 We are experiencing a high level of contacts. Please bear with us and we will get to you as soon as possible.

    21:44:13 The session has ended!
      

    Now, I know full well I am not the best of speed typists in the world, however, to expect me to type the details of my complaint within 16 seconds is bordering on lunacy. Bear in mind this was the third attempt at trying to get some form of attention for Sky’s technical fault which resulted in me losing blinds and unable to play on a cash game. You took the blinds but I am unable to play.

    I only wanted the blinds refunded as a matter of principle, but the treatment given to me by your so called “service” team has been shocking.

    The first person I was typing to, hung up on me as soon as he/she knew I was playing again, after reloading the interface, and losing the blinds current and previous. I was fortunate to regain my place at the table, and this did not in any way address the issue of losing the money through your software fault.
     

    The second person “Nazlie” hung up on me before I could explain the problem, on the 2nd call, and he/she done it again for the third time after 16 seconds, which is shown above. 

    Now then, I am not usually one to complain, and this is probably only the 2nd time in the MANY years I have used your site to contact “services”. However, I do find this treatment of a long time and regular customer of your site, frankly, shocking. I also have the top Sky internet package and the full Sky TV package with you, so you at Sky get a fair penny out of me each month, and this is certainly not the treatment I expect, or deserve, from your company or representatives. Should I reconsider a monthly payment to you in excess of £80 due to this “service”?

     I look forward to your reply and hope you will address these matters in a suitable manner, with haste.

    Im really sorry to hear about your problem draig, however you were told to use 2000 words and you appear to have only used 497 words and also you have used two grammatical errors, so unfortunately until you have corrected these errors we are unable to deal with your complaint ( can i have a job sky i would be brill at the fob off lol )

    I am very sorry to have let you down on the grammatical issues and the wordcount Looney. I withdraw all issues of complaint I have with Sky, based on failing to meet your criteria, and wish you well with the pursuit of employment with such a reputable company, I am sure you will fit in seamlessly.

    i can sympathise with you mate, i have had some shockers from the customer service on sky and i hope this is one of the things they can change in the future, the current team just doesnt work for me
  • edited October 2009
    In all fairness, the customer support team are only stating company policies, they are obviously told what to do and say using a crib sheet and not to promise anything and deny all responsibility, and they probably don't have any power to actually do anything, i feel sorry for them. however the sky mods are the ones who can achieve so they the ones to see. To be honest id be cr ap at customer support, id give you all the run around lol.
  • edited October 2009
    I hope your wrong loony, because if that really is the case, I will have to bring the matter to Murdoch again, like I did a few years ago on a similar issue.

    There is no excuse in my eyes for such shocking customer service, it must not be tolerated, we all deserve better. Especially these days, with the recession, money is not to be thrown away, and neither are loyal customers, and I am sure, due to competition, this level (or lack of it) of service, would not be looked on favourably by any reputable company, which I still believe Sky to be.

    I work in a customer service type of industry, and should any of my staff act in this way, I can assure you action would be taken with haste.

    Dave is right but best not to bang your head against that brick wall. When I played for real a few years back I was paying in to one site over $100,000 a year in tournament fees alone. Customer service there was also shocking. They had some serious site issues one night and everyone at my table was being continually disconnected. This was apparently happening on other tables too. At one point I was disconnected for 30 minutes at a crucial stage pre-bubble. I contacted customer service online and asked for a refund of the entry ($109) and was fobbed off to the point I was nearly chewing my laptop. The online CS are toothless tigers and so they fob you off and it happens on most sites in my experience.
