Appalling Customer Service - Constantly Gets the Basics Wrong
Telekom MK (TMK) has been given a one-star review for the below reasons. The company is completely worthy of a zero grade, but that option does not exist on this platform. Having been a very long-standing customer I would switch providers immediately, but given their severance/settlement charge of around MKD16,000 (€260), that ain’t going to happen. In no particular order:
- Customer service is pathetic: emails sent go unanswered, delayed replies, incorrect info given out, requests not actioned and senior staff ignore emails. Ring their contact centre on 122 at your peril, but you’ll be wasting your time.
- Our TMK contracts have historically been extended without our knowledge, agreement or notification.
- A new set top box which was forced upon us recently is nothing short of a joke. There are way too many faults to list here. Have requested the reinstallation of the old one, but was told that’s not an option.
- For more than a decade TMK has blatantly flouted data protection laws. The company tried to squirm out of the situation by threatening my wife with legal action. Staff at their Legal, Compliance, Personal Data Protection and Corporate Affairs Hub have now elected to ignore/block any emails sent.
- Frequent and random internet dropouts mean inconveniently having to reset our services. The TV sound regularly drops out too.
- Monthly bills received are usually incorrect due to questionable amounts for spurious charges being applied. Regular items that appear on our bills include: Caller Identification, Call Waiting and SafeNet Home. We have never subscribed to any of them.
- When complaints have been submitted, TMK refuses to accept them as complaints and palms us off with really weak, feeble and lame excuses.
- We recently enquired about switching our monthly bill from one name to the other. Not only does this convoluted process require closing the current agreement and starting a new one, surprise, surprise customers are expected to pay an unknown “admin” fee. Furthermore, we would lose all loyalty benefits and would have to set up a new TMK account/profile. There is nothing like a company making life easier for its customers!
- Staff have an extreme reluctance to divulge any senior staff details. Once the head of Customer Service’s name and email address were requested, yet the response received was a curt “do not ask me for information about superiors because I do not have the authority to name names.” Similarly, if you try to arrange a meeting with a senior member of staff, you are declined.
- A simple request was made yesterday to check on our latest bill amount to date, yet nobody could help!
All in all, another classic case of a company putting profits before customers. Please up your game TMK. You are a million miles away from where you need to be as a reputable and dependable telecoms provider/partner.
