It's dreadful that call centres use nice Romanian people to do their dirty work for them and underpay them.<br /><br />Perhaps one day, when normality returns, then that will stop too!<br /><br />Sallysallywriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950005738012348313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-30513310406628401342007-01-29T12:59:00.000+00:002007-01-29T12:59:00.000+00:00Hy Sally,

There are 2 reasons: young people here can manage to talk very good at least english as a foreign language and because companies don't have to pay that much for the wages!Momohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10534764934284467014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-61076657473159022582007-01-27T20:48:00.000+00:002007-01-27T20:48:00.000+00:00Hi Chris and Beccy!

I won't give away their name on the internet, but lets just say they are British (although their call centre staff are not) and they work in telecoms.<br /><br />I've only ever had to deal with them twice but both times they have screwed up beyond belief and I've not been at all impressed. The first time was when I signed up for an account with them, at which point the woman on the other end spent around 20 minutes arguing with me over whether or not my post code exists. (It turned out she couldn't understand which letters I was saying down the phone, despite the fact that I speak with almost spot on RP.) She then went on to put in totally the wrong surname for me (she got the first and last letters correct, but everything else was complete rubbish) before I eventually hung up.<br /><br />The next time I spoke to them it was to try and get the account switched from my name to that of my house mate. After the embarrassment of having to say that my name was Mr *insert wrong surname here*, which has now been adopted as my nickname by my housemates, I then hit yet more difficulties. The woman this time clearly lived in a culture where "house mates" don't exist, and where a woman can only live with a man if she is married to him.<br /><br />As a result, when I got my next bill through, instead of it coming in the name of my house mate, it now was addressed to Mr & Mrs *insert wrong surname here*. The trouble is that I've never managed to speak to a British person at this very British Telecoms company to have the problem corrected, so I suspect it'll run until they account is eventually cancelled.<br /><br />*sigh*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-78493377737871743792007-01-26T15:48:00.000+00:002007-01-26T15:48:00.000+00:00Hi, Sally, go pay as you go and if she runs out, t...Hi, Sally, go pay as you go and if she runs out, tough.
