Well having experienced a hellish snowed-in period without heating and hot water water in late December, I was close to having to buy a new boiler.
Only after my persistance did I manage to get a second opinion on the state of the boiler - which resulted in British Gas being able to repair it. It turned out to be a faulty pump - which they had already replaced - how funny, hey? They made it worse by replacing a shoddy part! Nice!!
Anyway, now I'm on their case, because they threw in the towel, and almost made me sign off on a £3,200 boiler - which I didn't actually need...if only they replaced the faulty pump, it would have been resolved a lot sooner - without the 8 visits and 20 days outage issue!
So the formal complaint letter fell on deaf ears - they weren't interested in coughing up with my expected settlement request, and have offered £30 then £200 and a final offer of £265. I'm not interested, I want them to accept their significant shortcomings, rather than keep "apologising"!
Anyway, the matter is now with the FSA, because British Gas are no longer willing to offer a more appealing settlement offer to me! Powered by AkoComment 1.0! |
