I considered reporting Vodafone to the relevant body for signing me up for something without my permission.
Helegant May 2017 3:12pm, 29 May 2017 4,843 posts	Quote Pin Helegant This morning... the concept of Customer Service that does not serve the customer. e.g. We know you've checked in, but we're cancelling your flight. We've rebooked you for 28 hours later. That's no use. I need to be there on time for a business meeting. Please refund the outbound flight and I'll make alternative arrangements. If you cancel the outbound flight then we will cancel your inbound flight because it is a return ticket. I still want the inbound flight. Can't you just reissue it as a single? No because there is no room on that flight. But there is room on that flight - I have a ticket for it... ... ... ... And not only that but we will charge you for re-issuing the ticket because it is a 'change'. [Not me, just a conversation repeated to me this morning by a once-loyal and very-angry customer] This is one company, but there are many that operate the same unenlightened self-interest.
