Sending an invoice to a big company for wasting my time... Help!!
 

Right, I'm not a happy bunny at the moment.

Just discovered that a certain satellite tv company have charged me £106 for last month (or this month) without any warning, and thus I had £60 less in my account than I was expecting and now I'm gunna get charged for another direct debit bouncing back!! (would have been plenty in there if Sky - oops, I said it, had taken £42 not £106!!!)

So, I spent 45 mins on the phone - on hold!!!!!! and still never got through to anyone!!!!!!!!

Got pee'd off and now I'm in a glorious mood, I'm gunna send them an invoice for my time, my phone call, and my bank charges.

How can I word this fantastic letter?

I've heard of people doing this and companies actually paying up.

"Direct Debit Guarantee" dom, phone your bank and they should immediately refund the payment and hopefully not charge you for the resulting bounced DD.

Anything extra, bill the cable company.
I successfully billed my bank for a cock-up once so yep it's possible.

gimme till tomorrow to dig out a brill letter for you Dom

I wrote a letter to SKY once for s**t service........Didn't even have the decency to reply. Same old story,bigger the company the less they care. :mad:

What the fcuk?

Bl00dy communications companies! I changed my O2 account from monthly contract to pay as you go last July (After 5 years on a contract without getting a new phone every year...I must have made them a fortune). They said they would bill me up to September, so I cancelled my Direct Debit at the start of October. They promptly requested a further payment which bounced. Got a really ****ty letter saying they'd take legal action if I didn't pay (well, it was £16.47, so there was a lot at stake). After about three hours on the phone (put on hold, cut off, transferred, cut off, put on hold etc, etc), I finally got hold of a bloke who confirmed they had forgotten to turn off my contract, and said it was all sorted. Didn't hear anything else until I got a letter from a debt-collection agency last week (11 month's later). D1ckheads say they'll take me to court if I don't pay...suits me fine...GITS!

Sorry about thread hijack...just seemed to be an appropriate place to let off steam....I'm off to watch the GP now...GO LORIS!!!!!!!

Its called irony Dom,His lordship being tim and rupert as in murdock.
