Since we switched to them on the 12th of Sept ,we have had nothing but hassle.
Our phone has been cut off twice ,then our phonenumber was changed twice so no one could contact us for three days ,the second time they did this we got an elderly ladies number and she got ours ,all our calls were going to her and she was ringing us up trying to get us to sort talk talk out for her as she couldn't work out how to do it.
After all the incovienience they wiped our bill completley ,then still went for the money leaving us with bank charges.
Today we get a phonecall asking us why we haven't paid the bill and denying any knowledge of wiping bill ,even though we have given them the names of the ppl who wiped it.
So after an hour on the phone to them on DP's only day off been passed from dept to dept and having to explain the problem repeatedly we started putting them on hold and playing music to them and passing them
to diffrent dept (me and DP).
I understand they are doing their job but they are driving me mad and today I think I finally flipped .Sorry for the rant .

No way! YANBU. I hate TalkTalk... fortunately we didn't have even close to the horrible experience you are having, but there was always this feeling with them that something was about to go pear-shaped.
(Moved in Feb and as they couldn't provide the same service to us in new place we were able to cancel our contract. Even then though, I felt like I was getting off to easily!)

LOL at putting them on hold. Wish I'd done that with BT (similar problem, and I had one-day old baby...)

Read this thread thinking it was about the band TalkTalk... oops... I have nothing useful to offer, suffice to say that the majority of telecoms companies are complete pants and you'd be better off with two tins and a very long piece of string....

Ohhh don't get me started on Talk Talk....rah Grrr Rah Grrr

Took us 12mnths to get internet..we have been cut off at least 4 times, triple charged bills, had someone elses calls coming to us for months (had the woman whos calls we were getting screaming down the phone at us for 'stealing' her calls). Spent over £80 on the phone to the 'free' India helpline. paid BT about £200 to fix line faults required by talk talk when there were no faults! I could go on!!!

As soon as the contract is up IM OFF and never ever ever using them again!

You have been warned!
