Domestic and General and their NUTS
I telephoned Scottish Power and the call was transferred to Domestic and General, their underwriters. There was a water leak from the radiator joint which I explained to the girl in their call centre somewhere abroad. The water was sipping from the radiator pipe from the upper floor onto the ceiling above the main lounge.
The combination boiler stopped working due to the leak. The call centre girl offered an appointment for the following day. I explained to the girl that someone has to attend immediately as the leak in 24 hours slot will cause an enormous water damage to the building and the contents into thousands of pounds.
The call centre employees working abroad would not understand the situation I was implying.
They were helpless. I cancelled the following day appointment and called someone who came almost immediately due to the nature of the situation.
The radiator repair took a few minutes to rectify, dried the ceiling below, used a primer coat and a brush of paint, He was at the property for nearly 45 minutes including a cup of tea.
I personally filled the boiler that took no more than 5 minutes. I am a cancer patient but managed well.
I told the call centre girl to lodge a complaint on my behalf.
I have received a shocking letter from someone at Domestic and General that a full investigation took place and the complaint. “ The letter State your complaint is being upheld”. Attached were some leaflets about financial ombudsman service for me to waste more time.
No wonder these companies are going under because of the resources they use.
These companies like domestic and general and Scottish power needs a few competent employees working from their heart, a few complainants, less workers sitting at the desk sending pre printed letters about upheld complaints.
These companies need restructuring, getting rid of incompetent guys like the one sent me a letter, organise from the bottom to the top.
The company has completely misunderstood my needs, they wrote the complaint and they upheld the complaint. Where is the management???
You hear a message that they have been established for a century. I have known companies established for a far longer than D&G who have gone bankrupt. It could be you next, Domestic and General.
Do not be proud of the length of your establishment, learn from your own experience and an enormous mistakes.
