Bad customer services

After being a customer for many years I have to say I'm truly disappointed with the following 1. Waiting two weeks for a service inspection with Hotpoint engineer 2. Being left without fridge freezer for more than three weeks due to lack apart 3. Being diabetic and left without way of buying food on a daily basis 4. My compensation with domestic & general kindly give me 40 pounds to buy a fridge freezer. I do remember when my daughter was 10 year old I bought the the same thing which fitted two packets of crisps on a can of coke if your lucky sandwich 5. I can't confirm duty above there is no commitment or compassion with domestic in general they do not care about the people who are paying for a good quality service I'm so disappointed to the point I will be cancelling all my policies with domestic and general there's got to be better than this 6. Last comment I do feel I've not been supported and I've definitely not been treated as a customer and any way shape or form 7. Bad customer services and bad customer retention services Reviewed on: 22nd April 2023

If I could give no stars I would

Honestly, I have never experienced such a poorly run establishment and we currently have a Tory government. I raised a claim in March 2023 and today is the 12th April. I still have not received my replacement device. The excuses are hilarious from "we haven't taken your direct debit" to "there's a bank holiday so there will be a delay". To counter these points, I had to call them to take the direct debit. They claim this process takes 10 working days so I waited patiently however, on the day I looked at my account and no money was taken. I called up to tell them but they claimed they have taken it successfully. Then I was spoken to in a condescending manner where I was told I will need to wait another 10 days for this payment to be processed. The reality was, they didn't take the payment until post 5pm which is off for any DD. To make matters worse, I was told once the DD was taken the claim would be processed automatically since it had already been approved and gone through the proper channels. This wasn't the case. It took around 30 calls (literally) and over 12 hours on the phone to even get an appropriate response. I still don't have my phone and yet again I am given other excuses. You wouldn't wait if my DD failed so why should I wait two weeks for the level of service to even be acceptable. To make matters worse, the staff are rude and have no idea what they are talking about at any given time. It's quite comical when I reflect now. To make matters worse I emailed their claims team in March 2023, and I still don't have a reply or acknowledgement. They don't make you aware of any progress of your claim you have to call and chase for that to. Honestly shambolic excuse for a company and if I had the choice of bringing back Boris Johnson and having a policy with these clowns I would pick Boris. If you do get a response, it's canned emails which mean nothing and you get passed around department to department since there is no accountability whatsoever. Reviewed on: 12th April 2023

Day off for nothing

Took a full day off work, completely pointless as the guy parked outside my house for around 20 minutes then drove off! Apparently wrong house listed on his job sheet & when he knocked on they knew nothing about it- funny that, as he never got out of his van! If he was lost he could have used the mobile number he'd called me on that morning to find out where I live! Who's going to pay for my lost wages? These people are a waste of air.

Refusing to replace covered item

This company is a out right scam we had a wall oven under warrenty that took over 9 months to be found unservicable and then said it still on the first ticket and we will not replace it on a first ticket and then canceled the plan on me. I sat with out an oven for 9 months for the company I paid to say none are not fixing it. I was told when purchasing the plan that if they could not fix items they would be replaced and and by 2 other associates on follow up calls so they blatantly lied. They are a trash organization with awful customer service. Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

Save your money

Appalling service with both a washing machine and now the tumble dryer, requested money back as they have not fulfilled their obligation Reviewed on: 20th February 2023

Only used once, but my friend swears by them!

If you move house a lot it's really worth it, as things break or don't work as expected after you move, they have you sorted Reviewed on: 21st January 2023

I have paid for annual cover for over 20 years but when I needed them over a flue, which they do nor cover but never flagged as a potential problem, they were hopeless.

My gas system was shut down as dangerous despite regular D & G annual service visits. The excellent company who replaced if found several boiler leaks and problems which D & G has not recognised. Reviewed on: 12th January 2023

Fake Company!!!

This is to notify you that I have been with D&G for nearly 2 years now. And I have had the worst experience ever using this particular Company!!! I was so much frustrated with their service that I was forced to cancel all existing policies just a week ago. I was also going to have more gadgets under their insurance cover but not any more after the most recent horrible experience! I highly recommend everyone to back off now! It's never too late than losing your money for waste! Reviewed on: 4th January 2023

This is not an insurance conoany but a scam running operation

AVOID!!! AVOID!!! AVOID!!! Avoid them at all cost. They do not provide ANY care. I have made 4 appoitments with them to repair a pump on the washing machine. All of them were cancelled. Customer care doesn't answer any questions, ingeneers don't show up for thier appoitments. Scam operation. Reviewed on: 22nd December 2022

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!

Avoid D&G and Whirlpool like the plague! I spent 3 hours trying to book an appointment through a non-existent D&G customer service team. D&G's website kept failing at the point of booking an appointment date, advising me to call Whirlpool directly, who also had a non-existent customer service team. After a bit of digging I managed to get onto Whirlpool's website with my D&G account number to book a date with their automated online service but would have to wait 9 days for an engineer. The night before the repair date I was contacted to inform me of a 4 hour window in which the engineer would arrive. 2 hours before that window i received another message that the engineer was no longer available and to rebook via the website, the next appointment not being for another 14 days. More unsuccessful attempts to contact a non existent customer service team has followed. I always suspected insurance schemes were nothing but a scam to steal peoples money without providing an actual service, but this really takes the mickey! Reviewed on: 21st December 2022
