  1. Hello. First time using this website, so please forgive me if I will fail to follow any rules you might have. So long story short is as follows (I will try to cut it down as much as I can, will skip most of the dates as well). Signed up for Pay Monthly with Vodafone in April 2014. Spotify Premium (online music service, not managed by Vodafone) was supposed to be included in my subscription plan FREE of charge. After a couple of months I've noticed that my bill is £10 too large (FYI - that is the exact price for Spotify Premium). Thought that there might have been a mistake and that Vodafone will find it by themselves and that next month my bill will be adjusted. Sadly that didn't happen. Waited for another month - same result. Contacted their Customer Services. They admitted their fault, apologised and promised that next month on my bill I will see a refund for what I have overpaid and that all further charges will exclude Spotify Premium payment. Once again to my great disappointment the next bill came with no refund and with Spotify still included. So yet another £10 taken from me. Let me skip forward by about 6 months now. I'll just say that I was getting in touch with their Customer Services almost every month and each time I was getting the same promise - that next month I will get refund and all further bills will have no sign of Spotify ever again. Unfortunately the reality was that with each month the amount that they have taken from me was just increasing and increasing... Then finally in February 2015 I was able to get some sort of resolution. This lady in their CS or billing department assured that I will get £80 refund (the amount they were due at the time) and even assured me that I will get a compensation that I've asked for which was another £50 (I know, I should have asked for more, but whatever). So my next bill came and it was quite confusing. There were multiple lines with really odd figures, but if my amateur calculations were correct - I was credited for an amount of about £130. This of course could have been a happy (well sort off) ending for my story. But guess what - £10 payment for Spotify was still on my new bill. So I've just waited for another 5 months until they have taken £50 from me. And my monthly plan is £50 as well. I thought that since we're now sort off even I can just go and disable my direct debit. Well to be honest that was an advice from someone who in some way knows mobile phone market from the inside... Of course when my payment was due I've received a warning from Vodafone that if I will not pay then my line will get suspended. So I've called them (they never call you, trust me and we'll get to that later on). I was quite serious about my further actions. Just told them that if they will not refund me and if they will not fix my billing then I will just cancel my contract. The girl apologised and told me that she will talk to someone more senior on the team and they will get back in touch with me. She has also assured me that my line WILL NOT be suspended. They have never called me (surprise surprise). And after few days my line got suspended. I guess you understand that I have lost quite a few incoming calls that I was expecting as people were not able to reach me. Also I was not able to make calls which has caused even more damages to me. So I've called their support again. They have re-enabled my service and assured me that some manager will call me in the next few days. They never did... I've just kept on waiting. For about 2 weeks. In that time their systems were harassing me in all possible ways. I was getting text messages warning me that I must pay them. Then one day someone from their billing team called me to ask why I am not paying. She was not even aware that I have a case open and that it's them who should pay me and not the other way around. So that was the only time someone called me from Vodafone. After speaking to this lady she also assured me that her boss will call me and that my case will be resolved. Well nobody has called me again. So I have called them again on the 15th of July... This time I've heard some really interesting news. Apparently their billing system was not ready for providing customers with any FREE extra's and that for the last 1,5 year they have lost a lot of customers who cancelled their contracts due to wrong bills. How cool is that??? She also told me that their systems are now fixed and that she will remove Spotify charge from all my future bills. This time it will definitely happen. )) You might wonder why they haven't just fixed my bill automatically without me even calling them, but I guess that would be too much to ask. She has also promised me that I will see a refund of £50 that they have taken from me since February. And I've also asked for a compensation for all the time lost on the phone with them, for the inconveniences caused having my line disabled and for all sorts of distress I've experienced in the last 1,5 years. She promised me that her manager will call me by the EOB 16th July. You can probably guess what I will say next... LOL. No one has contacted me and then my new bill came. In this bill I am being charged not just my normal service charge of £50. But there is also a charge of £10 for Spotify Premium. There is no refund of £50 that they have promised. And they are charging me an interest of around £4,5 for being late to pay my last month's bill. Ain't that funny???? So. My question is quite simple. Can I sue them? Believe me I don't want to just get a refund or cancel my contract. I also want a decent compensation for my time that they have wasted on these endless conversations with their billing team. For all other inconveniences that they have caused me. For all the distress that I have been through. And also an interest on the amount of my money that they have been holding for all this time. Sorry for a long read. And hope someone can help me. p.s. despite the fact that my next payment is due on 28th of July (if I’d be willing to pay the current bill of £130) they have suspended my line again just now. p.s. if you want to take this case one step further - I am happy to put my signature on it. You can make a claim for as much as you want and when Vodafone will pay you - you'll share with me. )) I mean if you are some kind of lawyer. ) p.s. p.s. PLEASE DON’T TELL ME TO CONTACT THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICES AGAIN… ))
  2. I have now been trying this for the last week! I lost my login details for Spotify, that is, I cannot remember the e-mail address that I registered with. I went to their site and it said if you have forgotten your username/password click here, only when I clicked on the link it took me back to the SAME page where you had to input the SAME details, i:e the e-mail address with which I registered! When I input the e-mail addresse/s that I thought I could possibly have registered with, nothing happened! If I try login with Facebook that doesn't work either, I just get a message sayin that the page has expired!
