complaining to Sky

He did ring the night before but it came through as Private No, every other Sky person I've had used a mobile. It's possible they don't know, as someone else said, the Call Centre is outsourced, and the installing side is probably outsourced to a completely different Co. -
Tell the call-centre you've got Covid
I bet they'd find out who it was.
Are you certain nothing else is missing BTW?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I think the best approach is something like this at Sky HQOriginally posted by ChimpMaster View PostRun a Twitter campaign
Picket outside their headquarters
Call the media
Write to your MP
Pay for a 30 second advert on Sky One to voice your complaint

Worked for me when I emailed the CEO of BTOriginally posted by Old Greg View PostI got my summer holiday car rental (cancelled due to Covid) refund back in days after doing this.
And it felt like a real long-shot emailing the Sky CEO
Didn't reply personally, but only took about 1/2 hour before their assistant called me to help out. He then had to deal with the Indian call centre on my behalf ... even he found it painful but it saved me time
Great service in the end, but really shouldn't need to do it to get something to happen.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter man

I think in most large consumer organisations, there is at least one person in a complaints team who manages complaints that have been sent to VIPs like Directors. In one that I worked in they typically got a quicker response than standard complaints.Originally posted by Whorty View Postone trick I've used in the past, and it works an absolute treat, is to get the email address of someone high in the Org and send them a personal email. I did this with BT when having issues with them and my problem was sorted straight away. Wife has done the same with Sainsbury's
Could be CEO, Head of Ops etc .... definitely worth a try if you know (can guess) their email address.Comment

I got a call back from Sky. They have finally spoken to the engineer and he says he hasn't taken anything accidently or otherwise. I need to do a police report to take it further. I'm wondering why he would nick something that would get £20 tops with it's box and remote ( that we still have ). It doesn't make senseOriginally posted by d000hg View PostTell the call-centre you've got Covid

The same reason people nick low value items from supermarkets when they can clearly afford to buy them.Originally posted by rootsnall View PostI got a call back from Sky.

Report him to the police.
As I said if he's stupid enough to keep nicking stuff he will eventually end up in tulip."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I've finally worked out why the boxes have a value, they can be programmed to sell with illegal Sky, BT etcOriginally posted by SueEllen View PostThe same reason people nick low value items from supermarkets when they can clearly afford to buy them.
