Anyway, rant over.

Thanks to all for helping me to see the otherside of the argument - so much nicer than counting to ten!

Please let this thread 'die' with grace!

Yes please, let it die!

Needed to speak to them regarding my account.

Gave them a call and after selecting the relevant options was told that their customer contact centre is closed today for training purposes.

Unbelievable - I don't think I have EVER heard of a major call centre closing during for training.

As an aside, does anyone know if their call centre is overseas.
Would be handy to know prior to speaking to them so I can pull my hair out beforehand!

if a call centre closes for "Training" isn't that code for we have been doing something major in the wrong direction and need to re-educate all our call agents on the correct way to deal with something before we get in big trouble ??? Your right i wouldn't have thought unless there was only a couple of people on it any company closing their call centre for any reason ?
