ANF Posted 21March, 2016 Report Share Posted 21March, 2016 (edited) Telstra, is there no end to their incompetence!!I get a text message saying to contact them with regards to my new mobile broadband modem. So I contact them via "Live Chat" (cannot stand to call them!). Sounds like they really have no idea why I got this text. Then she says that her colleague wants to speak to me in relation to it. So he calls and I can barely understand him.... he starts telling me about the delay in my house connection, I then tell him that the text was about my mobile broadband. We don't handle that here. Well why the F did you ring me then!!I said goodbye and hung up!!Edit: I will be much happier when we are in our new house and I can drive my 928 - will be no need to rant here, only what makes me smile Edited 21March, 2016 by ANF LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 21March, 2016 Report Share Posted 21March, 2016 Only a grudge against the SA government mate. Especially the do gooder leftard idiot tree hugging Nancy boy that was the premier at the time, who insisted Adelaide was better off with do gooder leftard tree hugging arty farty idiots painting their faces and dancing barefoot around their hemp handbags, whilst not having a job and calling their gatherings as The Fringe! So no, I'm really smarting mate :-) at least your not in tassie...I read the story about them draining the hydro dams to cash in on high prices, then decommissioning and selling the gas power plant, cause it was not clean energy. All 'cause they were going to save the planet. Only to have the bass link cable break and the dams to run out of water. Now it's looking like $20 million for diesel gens and diesel to keep the lights on, choke on that, polar bears, were saving the planet, y'know.oh, how I wish I was quoting those diesel gen sets to a desperate government. I would have made them write out 'I will not power my state with hopes and dreams' Bart Simpson style, before signing the contract. Friggen unbelievable - but what's the bet not one person loses their job over it. If most of us screwed up even 1/10th that bad we would be out.

firstone Posted 29March, 2016 Report Share Posted 29March, 2016 I could have bought another Boxster or half a Cayman for the SD I paid on the house purchase. I believe there would be more sales if was cheaper. Especially in real estate. I mean, suppose your happy where you live until one day the neighbour's from hell moved in next door.Not to mention commissions. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a tree lopper who seems to be allergic to money and roofer that doesn't know how to return phone calls. No wonder I prefer DIY when I can do it!

Tough call, but if you can live in while you renovate not so bad. It is when you are 2 months behind, with no explanation!!, and need somewhere to live!!Basically I think that no-one really cares, that just want their pay packet and care not for quality of work or time management.... boy don't get me started. ....

Niko Posted 5April, 2016 Report Share Posted 5April, 2016 (edited) My daughter had 16 solar panels installed by a company named BRAEMAC in August 2014, which was based in Melbourne at a cost of $7000.00. I had previously had panels installed on my house a couple of years ago and recommended BRAEMAC to my daughter.There is a ten year warranty on the panels.Large electricity bill arrives early last month, and shows the panels appear to have a problem.(It is a normal one (low) income household with two kids) The bills are causing financial hardship for them.Works out that ten out of the 16 panels are no longer working.Contact the seller/installer BRAEMAC early March for assistance in having problem fixed.BRAEMAC have now moved to South Australia and no longer have an office or representitive here in Victoria Numerous emails and phone calls where we were put in touch with the electrician, who was then going to contact someone else etc etc etc.Then various people were going to get back to us, which they never did, it just went on and on.I even spoke with the electrician who installed them, he didn't want to know about them.He also threw in, if you want me to have a look it will be a $160.00 service fee but I won't be able to get there for some time. I said, I was happy to pay the fee. Then told no, actually can't get there, he had a van to load up and abruptly hung up on Complete run around by both BRAEMAC and everyone else involved, now lasting over a month.Cutting a long story short, yesterday the manager at BRAEMAC finally tells us (after we again rang them)that they no longer have an interest in the panels that they sold in Victoria. He added that ...we are on our own, and suggest we now get in touch with the company that make the panels BENQ, because they cannot help us.So we have emailed BENQ and hopefully will get a reply and offer of assistance from them.If they give us the flick, I don't know where to turn to from there.So anyone contemplating fitting solar panels be very careful who you purchase them from.The worst thing is, I recommended this disgraceful company, BRAEMAC to my daughter and Son In Law.BRAEMAC are still selling solar panels from their S.A. office.CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM BRAEMAC....THERE IS NONE.
