Stunning stuff. Considerably raising the bar on the whole ‘Toughening Up’ business.

this company is a f**kin disgrace they employ absloute idiots who dont have a clue what they are talking about when i signed up i was told would get 3 months free and no line rental charge for the 12 months. since then every month i get charged line rental and havent got f**k all free. i have to phone up every month spend over an hour with these f**kin useless b**tard advisors who dont put any notes on the accts and they havent got a clue what i am talking about despite me calling every month. the same bullsh*t every month there customer service is a joke.. my advise to anyone dont sign up or renew your contract with this bullsh*t company..

Well you certainly don’t have to look far to find complaints about Tiscali.
I’d had broadband with Tiscali for 18 months, when I tried to sign up for line rental and calls. They started billing me for BB and calls (but not line rental) whilst also instisting that my line rental and call charge request had been unsuccessful. After 4 weeks of telephone calls and emails to Customer support, either speaking to total morons or receiving cut & paste responses to my emails, I gave up and cancelled my BB. 2 days later I received a call saying that my Line Rental had gone through. Another call to the cancellation department revealed that I’d had line rental and call charges all along it just hadn’t shown on their system. So now, instead of cancelling just my Broadband they have cancelled the lot. I have no line, no calls, no broadband plus the prospect of paying a £124.99 connection charge to BT and tying myself into a 12 month contract when I’d just waited 18 months to get out of the previous one.
From the other comments, posted here, it seems that I also have many months of false bills, Debt Collectors and bad credit ratings to look forward to. It would appear that I have only just walked through the gates of Tiscali Hell and have yet to find my way out.
I would love to hear from anyone who has successfully chased these bastards through courts.

Excellent effort mate. Really pleased for you.
It sounds like you had a great time, in spite of the suffering. Can’t imagine what that must have felt like.

A true tale of determination!

So what are you planning next? Everest?

I can echo all the above about Tiscali. I cancelled my account with them in April 2008. The were paid the final payment of £15.99 in May by Direct Debit at which point I cancelled further Direct debits. Since then I continue to receive bills and now a threat to put the matter in the hands of their Debt Collection Agency. During several phone calls to Tiscali they did confirm that they had cancelled my account on 15th April and that I should ignore all further demands.

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL. At the time I cancelled my account I was moving to a new address and opened another account with them to provide telephone and broadband. Lo and behold a telephone engineer called at the new address and confirmed that the phone line was working OK. A month later no sign of broadband or any acknowlegement from Tiscali that I had a new account with them. I phoned them literaly more than 50 times, with the usual long holds, but got nowhere. They just said they had no knowledge of my new account and kept telling me to phone other numbers, some of which in fact did not exist, even though they were by then providing me with a telephone service. I eventually gave up and contacted BT who gave me a telephone and broadband service within 15 days.
