Useless replies for help from admin staff

In the last week I’ve had to chase for help from two companies, one is my LA and the other is my son’s high school.

Both times they just resend emails I’ve already had telling me what to do, the point is it doesn’t work/ I don’t have enough information etc and just doesn’t answer the actual question I’m asking!

What is that all about? The school are currently moving over from an excellent communication platform to a frankly shite one and it’s a nightmare to get accurate info. All the admin staff keep doing is sending me the link for the app ‘you have to look here now’. I bloody am but there is nothing in it. I’m not the only one having trouble. I don’t even mind if they say they don’t know but the fake help of repeating themselves and not listening is annoying.

Anyone else find this?

I'd like to sit an exam with a college that keeps telling me to click 'apply now' when the button leads to their general 'contact us' form. They've sent me the same patronising email with a description of where the button is three times now. The button still links to the wrong thing. It's completely infuriating.

That’s pretty much it isn’t it. Not actually reading what your telling them.

Can you not phone?

I could but it’s not really convenient, I’m working

Explain the problem as though they are a simpleton.

Post on Twitter.

Magically an answer will appear

Can you send them screenshots of what their app is showing?
