    Hi,

    I understand that this was escalated to you.

    But I’ve asked to please get this escalated again.
    I can’t see that you’ve done this.

    Dear Mr Ribsskog

    Thanks for your email.  I’m sorry you’re unhappy with our previous responses.  I can confirm that I’m a senior customer manager and this has been escalated to myself.

    We want to make our customers shopping trips as convenient as possible and we introduced our self checkouts as an efficient and speedy alternative to manned checkouts.  However, we recognise that they are not ideal for all our customers and we aim to provide a choice, which includes opening more manned checkouts for our customers who prefer them.  You certainly should not feel pressured into using these tills.


    We have a TRY promise were if you’re unhappy with any of our own brand products, you can get a full refund by taking the packaging and receipt to the customer service desk in any store.  If you could reply with more information on the chicken steaks you’re referring to, I can investigate this further.  Ideally if you have any information on the packaging, I can log this with our buyers.

    I’ve called our Rice Lane store and spoken to my colleague, Kim Tingsley, the Customer Service Supervisor.  Kim advised that there was a problem with one of the bank terminals in the store.  Although the banks aren’t managed by the store, this was reported immediately and has since been fixed.  I appreciate you’d like more information on this but as the banks are managed externally, we’re unable to provide any more information.

    Kim wasn’t aware of any problems with the self service checkouts.  If you could reply confirming which date you entered the store and what was wrong with the tills and also more information on the antennas you mentioned, I can investigate this further with the store.  I appreciate these issues have been going on for some time.  If you could reply with your contact number, we’d be happy to call you in order to resolve these for you.

    We’re grateful that you’ve taken the time to contact us and look forward to your response.

    Kind regards

    Hi,

    ok, and how about the awkward self-service-tills?

    Have you gotten a lot of complaints about them?

    And the antennas for Christmas.


    Am I the only one who have complained?

    And the chicken-steaks aren’t that delicous, I think.

    Has this really been escalated now, by the way?

    How can you explain two ‘Gremlin-attacks’ in a few days, in this shop?

    (The problem with the bank-terminals and the six self-service tills).


    I think it’s bad custommer support that you don’t explain to me, what was wrong, with the bank-terminal.


    One single phone-call.

    How hard can this be?

    This seems very strange to me.


    It’s like you don’t really try, I think.

    I’ve asked to escalate this.


    I can’t see that that has really happened.


    So I try again.

    Dear Mr Erik Ribsskog

    Thanks for your email.  I’m sorry that you were unhappy with your trip to our Rice Lane store.  I can understand your disappointment as you saw some of the behaviour as a “provocation”.

    It is never our intent for our customers to feel awkward in store, we wish for our customers to enjoy their shopping experience.  Our security guards patrol for the safety of all our customers and are not there to provoke anybody.  I apologise that a colleague moved your basket without asking. I have passed your comments onto management who appreciate all customer feedback.

    We’re grateful to you for taking the time to contact us and we look forward to seeing you again shortly.

    Hi,

    I’m just back, after shopping at Farmfoods and Sainsbury’s.

    At Sainsbury’s a Securitas-guard patroled right in front of me, when I walked in to the shop.


    I thought that was almost like a provocation.

    (This was your Rice Lane shop, as usual).

    Also, in the self-service till, a Sainsbury-woman, (quite big), in her 40’s, suddently started lifting on my basket, to get to a basket, which was underneath mine.

    (From the custommer before me).


    I’ve seen at Asda.


    At the self-service tills there.


    That a sing says: ‘Always explain the intervention’.


    Your staff didn’t do this.


    She made me almost get a shock, I think I have to say.


    This was like something that could only have happened in Russia.


    I brought my own basket back to the entrance-area, (around where the Security-guard was).

    And it was no shortage of baskets there.


    So I think I have to call this a basket-case.


    Why do your staff act like they’re trained in Russia?

    This was like a provocation, I think.


    You should learn from Asda, which are owned by Wal-Mart, which is an American company.

    Also,  (unilke Asda, Tesco, etc), the self service tills in this shop.


    (Sainsbury’s Rice Lane).


    They are aqwardly placed.


    The carrier-bags are placed to far away from the custommers, I think.

    I think your better at own brand tinned food, than Asda.


    But you just forget my complaints about your noodles, (own brand), which tastes like dish-washing-water, I think.


    (Something like this).


    In your last e-mail.

    There’s no excuse for ignorance, a saying, (here in the UK), says.


    But I don’t think you’ve heard that saying.

    So I want to escalate all the complaints I’ve sent you, please.


    Also, your mashed potatoes, smell bad, which isn’t the case, with Asda’s own-label mashed potatoes.

    And Aldi are better at chicken-steaks, I think.

    Also, you don’t have the chicken-nuggets, (own label), which costs around 70 pence, that Tesco and Asda have.

    I wanted to please escalate all the complaints I’ve sent you, please.

    Hi,

    also, at Christmas, your quite old femal staff with blonde hair.


    In the check-out.


    (I bought so much food for Christmas that I used a trolley and went to the manual check-out).


    She had to have antennas on her, since it was Christmas, it seemed.

    She was almost crying, from this ridiculus costume, it seemed to me.


    It reminded me of when I worked as an assistant manager, at Rimi Bjørndal, in Norway, from 1996 to 1998.


    The Store Manager Kristian Kvehaugen said the check-out-staff had to wear santa-caps.

    But the Marocco-girl, in the check-out, took her red santa head-cap of all the time.

    But your staff didn’t do this.

    So it was a bit like a shop from Mars, last Christmas, I think.

    Also your chicken-steaks, for £1.15, doesn’t taste that delicous, I think.

    Hi,

    is your head-office in Moscow or something?

    Your reply just look like a mess to me.

    Those higher managers, (or what they were), were definetly just standing around.


    I know what I saw, I’m an experienced retail-manager, who has worked for almost a lifetime in retail.


    You just invent a reply, it seems to me.


    I have no confidence in you due to this.

    These people weren’t even in uniform/work-clothes.


    Even if that isn’t isn’t reflected in your reply, I think.

    Also, Sainsbury’s low-priced noodles, doesn’t taste good.


    And Sainsbury’s low-priced potato-mash smells bad, I think.

    (I tried it last week-end, but I just threw it, due to the smell, I have to admit).

    Good luck with the Moscowits, Marsians and Gremlins.

    Thank you for your further email.

    As detailed in my response of 2 March, your comments have been escalated to me as Senior Manager within Careline.  

    In this reply I detailed our final response to the incident in out Rice Lane store on 14 February relating to the inability to process your card payment.  Equally this was addressed in my colleague Katrina Dicks reply on 4 March.

    Similarly in my reply of 2 March I detailed the reason our self scan checkouts where not functioning on your visit to the store. Although it may have appeared my colleagues in store were simply standing around, I assure you this was not the case.

    The extensive detail provided in each of these responses, and those previously sent by my team, provide our final answer on these points. I hope you can use the information provided and I have explained actions of my colleagues in store.

    Hi,

    I’ve sent to your college, Katarina Dick, about this, earlier this week.

    (And asked her to escalate).


    So this is being dealt with already, I think I have to say.


    Regards,


    Erik Ribsskog

    PS.


    Here is more about this:

    Hi,

    ok, I think it’s strange that all your machines doesn’t seem to work.

    It was also a problem with your bank-terminal, at this shop, the week before, (I think it was).

    (Like I have discussed with your college Ajay Chand, like one can see, in one of the forwarded e-mails, with this e-mail).

    A bank-terminal that refuses to let people pay by card, when they have money, on their account.

    That must be pretty rear, I think.

    And that this store also have a group of six self-service tills, that doesn’t work, the next week.

    (Which I haven’t seen in any other store.

    And these tills have been around since 2005, at least, I remember.

    Because I saw them that year, at a big Sainsbury’s in Kensington, in London, where I lived for a couple of weeks, that year).

    So this seems very strange to me.

    It’s like an invasion of Gremlins, I think.

    And how about the group of higher managers, which were standing in between the two groups of self-service tills, on the mentioned Wednesday, (the ones who were monitoring me and the other custommers), do you have an explanation for this?

    Have you had problems with an invasion from Mars?

    I think it must have been something like this, since there has been so much strange ‘stuff’ going on in your store.

    Due to that there have been many problems, I would have wanted to escalate about this, please.

    It has been so much problems with the food-industry lately, (with the horse-meat-scandal etc), so I think this should be on a higher level in your organisation.

    It’s a problem with the whole industry, a lefleat I saw today at Tesco says.

    So due to this I want to escalate, please.

    Dear Mr Ribsskog

    Thanks for your email and the further information you provided.  I’m sorry to learn you’re unhappy with our response.

    As advised in our previous emails, if a card if declined in store we’re unable to establish the reason for this.  The instruction to decline the card comes direct from the card provider.  As I’m sure you can appreciate, we need to act on such requests.  

    The only way to resolve this is to contact your card provider.  They’ll be able to carry out a full investigation and establish the reason the card was declined.  Unfortunately, we’re unable to do this on your behalf.  

    Your card provider wouldn’t be able to provide us with any of this information.  This would constitute a breach of the Data Protection Act.  Your card provider will only be able to discuss this with you.  I’m sorry we’re not able to assist you further.  

    We appreciate you’ve taken the time to contact us again and hope you’re able to get this resolved soon.

    Hi,

    like I wrote in the first e-mail about this problem.

    If it was a problem with the connection, then the bank-terminals in Norway, more than twenty years ago, wrote a receipt, which was almost like a cheque, for the custommer to sign.


    The amount would then take a bit longer time, (a couple of days, I think we told the custommers), to be withdrawn, from the custommers’ bank-accounts.

    So is the UK more than 20 years behind Norway, when it comes to this?

    This doesn’t seem likely, to me.

    I wonder if there have been some ‘Gremlins’ here, messing with my account.


    I think it’s poor custommer-service, that you don’t investigate what has happened here.


    I have also gone to business-school, and learned that the custommer is always right.

    I think the UK is poor on custommer-service.


    You should learn from the USA, I think.

    It doesn’t seem you have a custommer-service attitude, (towards custommers), here in the UK.

    Hi,

    thank you for your e-mail!

    I think that since this was something that happened, in your store, then you have a responsibility, to help finding out what has happened.


    I think it’s poor custommer-support, that I have to go in the bank, and ask them, what has happened.


    I’ve sent you the recepts and all, so this is something you could find out, I think.

    You are just being lazy here, it seems to me.

    And if I had gotten a complaint like that, I would have called the company which runs the bank-terminals, and asked them what the problem was.

    So this wasn’t good custommer-support, I think.


    Can I escalate this to your line-manager, please?

    Dear Mr Ribsskog

    Thanks for your email and further comments relating to your recent enquiry.

    I’ve contacted the Rice lane store and discussed this with Nicola Edwards, the Customer Services Desk.  She’s asked me to send her apologies and was disappointed to hear of your experience.  She’s advised when a card is declined in store we aren’t able to establish the reason.  There can be several factors which can cause this for example the merchant provider may be down.

    I appreciate the time you have taken to contact us and I hope this information is helpful.

    Kind regards

    Hi,

    thank you for your e-mail!

    I don’t think it could have been the card-provider, that the problem was with.


    Because like one can see, on the recepits, that I attach copies of.


    The card worked again, a minute after if first had been refused.

    So it was just a temporarely problem, it seems.


    But like I wrote to you earlier, I’ve worked full time, as a cashier, for almost a year, at OBS Triaden, in Norway.

    And this was in 1990/91.


    But we had bank-terminals, in every other till.

    And even 20 years ago, this didn’t happen.


    If the bank terminals were off-line, then the custommer was told to sign a recepit, and this was then like a cheque, more or less.


    So I think it’s to bad, that this worked in Norway, 20 years ago.


    But it doesn’t work in the UK, today.

    I know there is a company, in-between you and the banks.

    (I know, because I’ve also worked as a retail manager in Norway, for ten years, in the Rimi-chain, owned by ICA).

    So I think it could be some ‘Gremlins’ there perhaps.

    This company was called ‘Bank Accept’, (or something), in Norway.

    You probably have an equivalent, (to Bank Accept), here in the UK.


    So I send again about this.


    Perhaps you could escalate this to your line-manager.

    Dear Mr Erik Ribsskog

    Thanks for your email.  I’m sorry your visa card payment was refused at our Rice Lane store on your recent visit.  I understand your disappointment as there was enough money in your bank.

    We are not aware of any faults with our card machines at the minute.  I can only recommend that you contact your card provider.

    We appreciate you taking the time to get in touch and make us aware of this and hope to see you in store soon.

    Hi again,


    I even remembered some more complaints now.

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    I remembered some more complaints now.

    Best regards,

    Erik Ribsskog

    • Erik Ribsskog I also remember more complaints now:

      7. Aldi-staff intimidated me by standing four people around me at the same time.

      It should be enough that I explained about this once, to one person.

      Not twice, to four people.

      8. While I spoke with the manager, a short blond Aldi-staff interupted us, and started talking without interducing himselves.

      9. The short blond guy said the six water-bottles missing from the multi-pack had fallen on from the pallet, but I’m an experienced store manager, I think I would have noticed if the botles were on the floor, etc.

      I could even see that one water-bottle was in a check-out, which was open.

      10. Aldi doesn’t seem to have their e-mail-adresse on their web-site.

      That’s the complaints I can think of now.

      A bit much I think, I just wanted to buy a regular lunch-meal there.

      Like it’s that e.g. office-people buy for lunch, here in the UK, I remember from working in a big office-building, (the Cunard Building, here in Liverpool), some years ago.

      • Hi,

        yesterday I was at Aldi in Walton Road, in Liverpool.

        I thought I’d buy a sandwich there.

        First there only ham & mustard-sandwiches there, (and no e.g. prawn & mayo-sanwiches, that I usually buy).

        Also there were no 0.5 liter water, in the check-outs, like usual, in this shop.

        I therefore grabbed a water-bottle in the soda-department.

        But when I got two the long queues in the two open tills, then an African-looking security-guard told me I couldn’t buy the water, (since it was only sold in multi-packs).

        I told him you just to sell water in the check-out.

        He asked me when that was.

        And I said first some weeks ago.

        And then some months ago.

        Since it’s been some months, (I think), since I bought a sandwich, (for brunch), in this shop.

        He then didn’t say anything, other than that I couldn’t buty the water.

        I then had to go back to the soda-department, with the water-bottle.

        I there noticed that from the open twelve-pack, it was only six bottles left, (including mine).

        So I brought the multipack-packaging and the six bottles, to an unused tile, where the security-guard stood.

        I asked him where the other six bottles where.

        ‘In the check-outs’, (or something), he said.

        I told him the staff should keep an eye on the soda-department, and removed opened multi-packs then.

        Which I don’t think Aldi does.

        Because the same thing has happened to me, with multi-packs with two liter-bottles, of water, at Aldi St. Johns Shopping Centre, in Liverpool City Centre.

        This time I saw it was a PLU-code, on the packaging, (for the 12-pack with 0.5 liter-bottles with water), so I thought they could be registered at the check-out, as 1/12 * PLU-code, (like I used to do sometimes, when I worked as a retail manager, in the Rimi grocery chain, in Norway).

        But no.

        I couldn’t buy the water, the security-guard told me.

        I then said ok, and that he should tell the staff, to be more thorough, when they walk through the shop, (and remove opened multi-packs from the shop-area).

        The security-guard wondered if I wanted to speak with the Store Manager.

        I said, I didn’t have to, (because I thought it was a bit dum, to say the same things twice).

        I said I could just send Aldi an e-mail.

        (But today I couldn’t find your e-mail adresse, because it wasn’t one on your website, so I try to write on Facebook).

        The security-guard didn’t want me to go to the check-out.

        He insisted on calling the Store Manager on the calling-phone, in the mentioned un-used till.

        A guy in his 20’s with a hooded jacket, (which mostly covered his dark hair), appeared.

        I asked him if he was the manager.

        He said yes.

        I complained about that you had stopped selling the water, which I started to buy, on impulse, last automn, in the check-out.

        He didn’t say anything, other than that I couldn’t buy the water.

        Since it was from a multi-pack.

        I told him it was displayed, in the soda-department.

        And a collegue of the manager appeared, (a quite low guy with blond hair).

        He answered for the manager, that ‘someone’ had opened the multi-pack.

        I counted the bottles.

        ‘One, two, three, four, five, six’.

        And asked where the other six bottles where.

        They had fallen down from the display, the blond guy said.

        Also a brunette Aldi-woman in her 20’s appeard.

        So I spoke with four Aldi-staff, (I reackon the security-guard is also Aldi-staff and not e.g. Securitas-staff, so I also count him then).

        So it was a bit intimidating, I think.

        It wasn’t enough that I complained to one staff.

        I had to complain to four staff, who all of them placed themselves close to me.

        At Rimi I was thought that all staff should be able to recieve a complaint.

        But at Aldi you need four staff to do this, it seems.

        I then said that ‘I’ve helped you then, and put the bottles there, so you can put them in the storage’.

        And the blond guy said ‘fine’ or something.

        Then I went to pay for the sandwich.

        But the queues were very long and slow.

        So I decided I didn’t want to stand in them, just for the sandwich.

        (Also at Home Bargains I’ve seen a sign, that they are supposed to open a new till, if there are more than three custommers in the lines.

        This they also said at Rimi.

        But I remember also from Aldi in Sunderland, (the one close to the Forge, where I lived on campus, when I studied at University of Sunderland, in 2004/05).

        That they also had more than three custommers in each line, without opening a new till.

        So this is poor custommer-service I think).

        Also I remember spotting one 0.5 litre bottle of water, in one of the open check-outs, while I spoke with your four staff.

        I think you should really sell singe bottles of water.

        I used to work as a Store Manager, in Rimi, in Norway, and just let the custommers buy the raisins, from multi-packs, after they asked.

        They wanted to give a box of raisins, to crying babies.

        So you could just sell from open multi-packs, I think.

        If you don’t, you should at once remove opened multi-packs.

        Often open multi-packs of water, is displayed, in your shops.

        You could tell the check-out staff, to call the managers, when they find out, that a multi-pack has been opened.

        Yesterday five people were tricked by the opened multi-pack, and were refused to buy displayed water-bottles.

        If your cashier had called the manager, at once, about this.

        Then the manager could have taken the opened multi-pack, to the storage, and no custommers would be tricked.

        It was also strange that you first sell water in the check-outs, (where the purchases will be impulse-based.

        E.g. I thought, when I saw the water: ‘Oh, have Aldi started selling water in 0.5 litre bottles, that I didn’t know, that goes well with my sandwich’.

        And a few months later, I’m not allowed to buy a 0.5 litre bottle, which is displayed, in the soda-department.

        I know that Aldi is German, (at least I think so), but do you have to run the Aldi-shops, like it was the Gestopo that runs them?

        And why did you stop selling the 0.5 litre water-bottles?

        And why don’t you let custommers buy from opened multi-packs which are displayed, in the soda-department.

        And why don’t you remove opened multi-packs at once?

        And why don’t you open a new till, when there are more then three custommers in a queue, (like e.g. Home Bargains and Rimi/ICA does?).

      • Erik Ribsskog Well I had five complaints, hadn’t I.

        1. They were sold out of prawn and mayo-sandwiches.

        2. They were sold out of 0.5 litre-water bottles.

        3. They don’t let custommers buy from opened multi-packs which ‘someone’ have opened and are accessable to the custommers in the shop.

        4. They don’t remove opened multi-packs at once, (even if custommers aren’t allowed to buy from them).

        5. They have long queues in the shop, without opening a new till, (like e.g. Home Bargains do it it’s more than three custommers in the line).

        Also there is a sixth complaint:

        The security-guard wouldn’t recieve my complaint, (even if he brought the problem with the water-bottles up), but I had to explain to him, and then again to the manager, even if I wanted to just send an e-mail.

        That’s really some kind of harassment, and lack of respect for the custommers, I’d say.

        I’ll send an e-mail about this now, thanks for the replies!

        And a few months later, I’m not allowed to buy a 0.5 litre bottle, which is displayed, in the soda-department.

        I know that Aldi is German, (at least I think so), but do you have to run the Aldi-shops, like it was the Gestopo that runs them?

        And why did you stop selling the 0.5 litre water-bottles?

        And why don’t you let custommers buy from opened multi-packs which are displayed, in the soda-department.

        And why don’t you remove opened multi-packs at once?

        And why don’t you open a new till, when there are more then three custommers in a queue, (like e.g. Home Bargains and Rimi/ICA does?).

      • Sarah Smith I read that post right to the end! So in a nutshell, you want them to sell single bottles of water?

      • Erik Ribsskog Well I had five complaints, hadn’t I.

        1. They were sold out of prawn and mayo-sandwiches.

        2. They were sold out of 0.5 litre-water bottles.

        3. They don’t let custommers buy from opened multi-packs which ‘someone’ have opened and are accessable to the custommers in the shop.

        4. They don’t remove opened multi-packs at once, (even if custommers aren’t allowed to buy from them).

        5. They have long queues in the shop, without opening a new till, (like e.g. Home Bargains do it it’s more than three custommers in the line).

        Also there is a sixth complaint:

        The security-guard wouldn’t recieve my complaint, (even if he brought the problem with the water-bottles up), but I had to explain to him, and then again to the manager, even if I wanted to just send an e-mail.

        That’s really some kind of harassment, and lack of respect for the custommers, I’d say.

        I’ll send an e-mail about this now, thanks for the replies!

        Best regards,

        Hi,

        ok, and how about the awkward self-service-tills?
        Have you gotten a lot of complaints about them?
        And the antennas for Christmas.

        Am I the only one who have complained?

        And the chicken-steaks aren’t that delicous, I think.

        Has this really been escalated now, by the way?
        How can you explain two ‘Gremlin-attacks’ in a few days, in this shop?
        (The problem with the bank-terminals and the six self-service tills).

        I think it’s bad custommer support that you don’t explain to me, what was wrong, with the bank-terminal.


        One single phone-call.
        How hard can this be?

        This seems very strange to me.


        It’s like you don’t really try, I think.
        I’ve asked to escalate this.


        I can’t see that that has really happened.

        So I try again.

        Hi,

        I’m just back, after shopping at Farmfoods and Sainsbury’s.

        At Sainsbury’s a Securitas-guard patroled right in front of me, when I walked in to the shop.


        I thought that was almost like a provocation.

        (This was your Rice Lane shop, as usual).

        Also, in the self-service till, a Sainsbury-woman, (quite big), in her 40’s, suddently started lifting on my basket, to get to a basket, which was underneath mine.

        (From the custommer before me).


        I’ve seen at Asda.


        At the self-service tills there.


        That a sing says: ‘Always explain the intervention’.


        Your staff didn’t do this.


        She made me almost get a shock, I think I have to say.


        This was like something that could only have happened in Russia.


        I brought my own basket back to the entrance-area, (around where the Security-guard was).

        And it was no shortage of baskets there.


        So I think I have to call this a basket-case.


        Why do your staff act like they’re trained in Russia?

        This was like a provocation, I think.


        You should learn from Asda, which are owned by Wal-Mart, which is an American company.

        Also,  (unilke Asda, Tesco, etc), the self service tills in this shop.


        (Sainsbury’s Rice Lane).


        They are aqwardly placed.


        The carrier-bags are placed to far away from the custommers, I think.

        I think your better at own brand tinned food, than Asda.


        But you just forget my complaints about your noodles, (own brand), which tastes like dish-washing-water, I think.


        (Something like this).


        In your last e-mail.

        There’s no excuse for ignorance, a saying, (here in the UK), says.


        But I don’t think you’ve heard that saying.

        So I want to escalate all the complaints I’ve sent you, please.


        Also, your mashed potatoes, smell bad, which isn’t the case, with Asda’s own-label mashed potatoes.

        And Aldi are better at chicken-steaks, I think.

        Also, you don’t have the chicken-nuggets, (own label), which costs around 70 pence, that Tesco and Asda have.

        I wanted to please escalate all the complaints I’ve sent you, please.

        Hi,

        also, at Christmas, your quite old femal staff with blonde hair.


        In the check-out.


        (I bought so much food for Christmas that I used a trolley and went to the manual check-out).


        She had to have antennas on her, since it was Christmas, it seemed.

        She was almost crying, from this ridiculus costume, it seemed to me.


        It reminded me of when I worked as an assistant manager, at Rimi Bjørndal, in Norway, from 1996 to 1998.


        The Store Manager Kristian Kvehaugen said the check-out-staff had to wear santa-caps.

        But the Marocco-girl, in the check-out, took her red santa head-cap of all the time.

        But your staff didn’t do this.

        So it was a bit like a shop from Mars, last Christmas, I think.

        Also your chicken-steaks, for £1.15, doesn’t taste that delicous, I think.

        Hi,

        is your head-office in Moscow or something?

        Your reply just look like a mess to me.

        Those higher managers, (or what they were), were definetly just standing around.


        I know what I saw, I’m an experienced retail-manager, who has worked for almost a lifetime in retail.


        You just invent a reply, it seems to me.


        I have no confidence in you due to this.

        These people weren’t even in uniform/work-clothes.


        Even if that isn’t isn’t reflected in your reply, I think.

        Also, Sainsbury’s low-priced noodles, doesn’t taste good.


        And Sainsbury’s low-priced potato-mash smells bad, I think.

        (I tried it last week-end, but I just threw it, due to the smell, I have to admit).

        Good luck with the Moscowits, Marsians and Gremlins.

        Thank you for your further email.

        As detailed in my response of 2 March, your comments have been escalated to me as Senior Manager within Careline.  

        In this reply I detailed our final response to the incident in out Rice Lane store on 14 February relating to the inability to process your card payment.  Equally this was addressed in my colleague Katrina Dicks reply on 4 March.

        Similarly in my reply of 2 March I detailed the reason our self scan checkouts where not functioning on your visit to the store. Although it may have appeared my colleagues in store were simply standing around, I assure you this was not the case.

        The extensive detail provided in each of these responses, and those previously sent by my team, provide our final answer on these points. I hope you can use the information provided and I have explained actions of my colleagues in store.

        Hi,

        I’ve sent to your college, Katarina Dick, about this, earlier this week.

        (And asked her to escalate).


        So this is being dealt with already, I think I have to say.


        Regards,


        Erik Ribsskog

        PS.


        Here is more about this:

        Hi,

        ok, I think it’s strange that all your machines doesn’t seem to work.

        It was also a problem with your bank-terminal, at this shop, the week before, (I think it was).

        (Like I have discussed with your college Ajay Chand, like one can see, in one of the forwarded e-mails, with this e-mail).

        A bank-terminal that refuses to let people pay by card, when they have money, on their account.

        That must be pretty rear, I think.

        And that this store also have a group of six self-service tills, that doesn’t work, the next week.

        (Which I haven’t seen in any other store.

        And these tills have been around since 2005, at least, I remember.

        Because I saw them that year, at a big Sainsbury’s in Kensington, in London, where I lived for a couple of weeks, that year).

        So this seems very strange to me.

        It’s like an invasion of Gremlins, I think.

        And how about the group of higher managers, which were standing in between the two groups of self-service tills, on the mentioned Wednesday, (the ones who were monitoring me and the other custommers), do you have an explanation for this?

        Have you had problems with an invasion from Mars?

        I think it must have been something like this, since there has been so much strange ‘stuff’ going on in your store.

        Due to that there have been many problems, I would have wanted to escalate about this, please.

        It has been so much problems with the food-industry lately, (with the horse-meat-scandal etc), so I think this should be on a higher level in your organisation.

        It’s a problem with the whole industry, a lefleat I saw today at Tesco says.

        So due to this I want to escalate, please.

        Dear Mr Ribsskog

        Thanks for your email and the further information you provided.  I’m sorry to learn you’re unhappy with our response.

        As advised in our previous emails, if a card if declined in store we’re unable to establish the reason for this.  The instruction to decline the card comes direct from the card provider.  As I’m sure you can appreciate, we need to act on such requests.  

        The only way to resolve this is to contact your card provider.  They’ll be able to carry out a full investigation and establish the reason the card was declined.  Unfortunately, we’re unable to do this on your behalf.  

        Your card provider wouldn’t be able to provide us with any of this information.  This would constitute a breach of the Data Protection Act.  Your card provider will only be able to discuss this with you.  I’m sorry we’re not able to assist you further.  

        We appreciate you’ve taken the time to contact us again and hope you’re able to get this resolved soon.

        Dear Mr Ribsskog

        Thank you for your email reply.  I am sorry my colleagues have been unable to resolve this matter to your satisfaction.  I can appreciate your frustration as you have provided us with several pieces of information about your transaction.

        I can confirm that the information my colleague Jamie and Stacey provided you is correct.  When a customer’s payment card is declined at our checkouts we are unable to identify why this decision was made.  The instruction to refuse payment comes from the card provider.

        I know you understand there is also a merchant who facilitates these requests on behalf of your card provider.  I appreciate you experience of retail in Norway but unfortunately the process you outline when incidents like this occur is not mirrored in our stores.

        When a card is declined in store we are unable to establish the reason. There can be several factors which can cause this, for example the merchant provider may be down.  We would request you follow the guidance offered by my colleagues and contact your card provider for further information.
        We appreciate you taking the time to come back to us and hope the information we have provided is useful.

        Hi,

        like I wrote in the first e-mail about this problem.

        If it was a problem with the connection, then the bank-terminals in Norway, more than twenty years ago, wrote a receipt, which was almost like a cheque, for the custommer to sign.


        The amount would then take a bit longer time, (a couple of days, I think we told the custommers), to be withdrawn, from the custommers’ bank-accounts.

        So is the UK more than 20 years behind Norway, when it comes to this?

        This doesn’t seem likely, to me.

        I wonder if there have been some ‘Gremlins’ here, messing with my account.


        I think it’s poor custommer-service, that you don’t investigate what has happened here.


        I have also gone to business-school, and learned that the custommer is always right.

        I think the UK is poor on custommer-service.


        You should learn from the USA, I think.

        It doesn’t seem you have a custommer-service attitude, (towards custommers), here in the UK.

As requested your correspondence has been escalated to me.

        Our customers experience is important to us.  We expect our customers to have the best service possible and it is disappointing to us that this has not been your experience.

        As my colleagues have explained, when a customer’s payment card is declined at our checkouts we are unable to identify why this decision was made.  The instruction to refuse payment comes from the card provider.

        I know you understand there is also a merchant who facilitates these requests on behalf of your card provider.  I appreciate you experience of retail in Norway but unfortunately the process you outline when incidents like this occur is not mirrored in our stores.

        As you mention your card was then accepted on the second attempt, it may be there was a temporary error with the connection from your card supplier. To this end we would request you follow the guidance offered by my colleagues and contact your card provider for further information.

        I appreciate this was not the answer you were hoping for but I must stress that my colleagues have guided you correctly through all stages of your contact with us.  I hope you can speak with you banking group and source the answer you require.

        I appreciate you taking the time to get in touch.

         

        Kind regards

        Hi,

        thank you for your e-mail!

        I think that since this was something that happened, in your store, then you have a responsibility, to help finding out what has happened.


        I think it’s poor custommer-support, that I have to go in the bank, and ask them, what has happened.


        I’ve sent you the recepts and all, so this is something you could find out, I think.

        You are just being lazy here, it seems to me.


        Dear I ask to get this escalated again?

        Regards,

        Thank you for your further email.  I am sorry you are unhappy with my colleagues’ previous responses.

        I have looked into this matter and I can confirm that the information my colleagues’ gave you is correct.  When a card is declined in store we are unable to establish the reason.  There can be several factors which can cause this, for example the merchant provider may be down.

        As my colleagues have advised, the only way to establish what went wrong would be to contact your card provider directly as we would not be able to offer any further assistance with this matter.

        I hope this information is useful to you and we look forward to seeing you in store again soon.

        Hi,

        I’ve worked as a store manager myself in Norway.


        And if I had gotten a complaint like that, I would have called the company which runs the bank-terminals, and asked them what the problem was.

        So this wasn’t good custommer-support, I think.


        Can I escalate this to your line-manager, please?

        Thanks for your email and further comments relating to your recent enquiry.

        I’ve contacted the Rice lane store and discussed this with Nicola Edwards, the Customer Services Desk.  She’s asked me to send her apologies and was disappointed to hear of your experience.  She’s advised when a card is declined in store we aren’t able to establish the reason.  There can be several factors which can cause this for example the merchant provider may be down.

        I appreciate the time you have taken to contact us and I hope this information is helpful.

        Hi,

        thank you for your e-mail!

        I don’t think it could have been the card-provider, that the problem was with.


        Because like one can see, on the recepits, that I attach copies of.


        The card worked again, a minute after if first had been refused.

        So it was just a temporarely problem, it seems.


        But like I wrote to you earlier, I’ve worked full time, as a cashier, for almost a year, at OBS Triaden, in Norway.

        And this was in 1990/91.


        But we had bank-terminals, in every other till.

        And even 20 years ago, this didn’t happen.


        If the bank terminals were off-line, then the custommer was told to sign a recepit, and this was then like a cheque, more or less.


        So I think it’s to bad, that this worked in Norway, 20 years ago.


        But it doesn’t work in the UK, today.

        I know there is a company, in-between you and the banks.

        (I know, because I’ve also worked as a retail manager in Norway, for ten years, in the Rimi-chain, owned by ICA).

        So I think it could be some ‘Gremlins’ there perhaps.

        This company was called ‘Bank Accept’, (or something), in Norway.

        You probably have an equivalent, (to Bank Accept), here in the UK.


        So I send again about this.


        Perhaps you could escalate this to your line-manager.

        Hi,

        I’m just back, after shopping at Farmfoods and Sainsbury’s.
        At Sainsbury’s a Securitas-guard patroled right in front of me, when I walked in to the shop.

        I thought that was almost like a provocation.

        (This was your Rice Lane shop, as usual).
        Also, in the self-service till, a Sainsbury-woman, (quite big), in her 40’s, suddently started lifting on my basket, to get to a basket, which was underneath mine.
        (From the custommer before me).

        I’ve seen at Asda.

        At the self-service tills there.

        That a sing says: ‘Always explain the intervention’.

        Your staff didn’t do this.


        She made me almost get a shock, I think I have to say.

        This was like something that could only have happened in Russia.

        I brought my own basket back to the entrance-area, (around where the Security-guard was).
        And it was no shortage of baskets there.

        So I think I have to call this a basket-case.

        Why do your staff act like they’re trained in Russia?
        This was like a provocation, I think.


        You should learn from Asda, which are owned by Wal-Mart, which is an American company.
        Also,  (unilke Asda, Tesco, etc), the self service tills in this shop.

        (Sainsbury’s Rice Lane).


        They are aqwardly placed.

        The carrier-bags are placed to far away from the custommers, I think.
        I think your better at own brand tinned food, than Asda.

        But you just forget my complaints about your noodles, (own brand), which tastes like dish-washing-water, I think.


        (Something like this).

        In your last e-mail.
        There’s no excuse for ignorance, a saying, (here in the UK), says.

        But I don’t think you’ve heard that saying.

        So I want to escalate all the complaints I’ve sent you, please.

        Also, your mashed potatoes, smell bad, which isn’t the case, with Asda’s own-label mashed potatoes.
        And Aldi are better at chicken-steaks, I think.
        Also, you don’t have the chicken-nuggets, (own label), which costs around 70 pence, that Tesco and Asda have.

        I wanted to please escalate all the complaints I’ve sent you, please.

        Hi,

        also, at Christmas, your quite old femal staff with blonde hair.


        In the check-out.


        (I bought so much food for Christmas that I used a trolley and went to the manual check-out).


        She had to have antennas on her, since it was Christmas, it seemed.

        She was almost crying, from this ridiculus costume, it seemed to me.


        It reminded me of when I worked as an assistant manager, at Rimi Bjørndal, in Norway, from 1996 to 1998.


        The Store Manager Kristian Kvehaugen said the check-out-staff had to wear santa-caps.

        But the Marocco-girl, in the check-out, took her red santa head-cap of all the time.

        But your staff didn’t do this.

        So it was a bit like a shop from Mars, last Christmas, I think.

        Also your chicken-steaks, for £1.15, doesn’t taste that delicous, I think.

        Hi,

        is your head-office in Moscow or something?

        Your reply just look like a mess to me.

        Those higher managers, (or what they were), were definetly just standing around.


        I know what I saw, I’m an experienced retail-manager, who has worked for almost a lifetime in retail.


        You just invent a reply, it seems to me.


        I have no confidence in you due to this.

        These people weren’t even in uniform/work-clothes.


        Even if that isn’t isn’t reflected in your reply, I think.

        Also, Sainsbury’s low-priced noodles, doesn’t taste good.


        And Sainsbury’s low-priced potato-mash smells bad, I think.

        (I tried it last week-end, but I just threw it, due to the smell, I have to admit).

        Good luck with the Moscowits, Marsians and Gremlins.

        As detailed in my response of 2 March, your comments have been escalated to me as Senior Manager within Careline.  

        In this reply I detailed our final response to the incident in out Rice Lane store on 14 February relating to the inability to process your card payment.  Equally this was addressed in my colleague Katrina Dicks reply on 4 March.

        Similarly in my reply of 2 March I detailed the reason our self scan checkouts where not functioning on your visit to the store. Although it may have appeared my colleagues in store were simply standing around, I assure you this was not the case.

        The extensive detail provided in each of these responses, and those previously sent by my team, provide our final answer on these points. I hope you can use the information provided and I have explained actions of my colleagues in store.

        Hi,

        I’ve sent to your college, Katarina Dick, about this, earlier this week.

        (And asked her to escalate).


        So this is being dealt with already, I think I have to say.


        Regards,


        Erik Ribsskog

        PS.


        Here is more about this:

        Hi,

        ok, I think it’s strange that all your machines doesn’t seem to work.

        It was also a problem with your bank-terminal, at this shop, the week before, (I think it was).

        (Like I have discussed with your college Ajay Chand, like one can see, in one of the forwarded e-mails, with this e-mail).

        A bank-terminal that refuses to let people pay by card, when they have money, on their account.

        That must be pretty rear, I think.

        And that this store also have a group of six self-service tills, that doesn’t work, the next week.

        (Which I haven’t seen in any other store.

        And these tills have been around since 2005, at least, I remember.

        Because I saw them that year, at a big Sainsbury’s in Kensington, in London, where I lived for a couple of weeks, that year).

        So this seems very strange to me.

        It’s like an invasion of Gremlins, I think.

        And how about the group of higher managers, which were standing in between the two groups of self-service tills, on the mentioned Wednesday, (the ones who were monitoring me and the other custommers), do you have an explanation for this?

        Have you had problems with an invasion from Mars?

        I think it must have been something like this, since there has been so much strange ‘stuff’ going on in your store.

        Due to that there have been many problems, I would have wanted to escalate about this, please.

        It has been so much problems with the food-industry lately, (with the horse-meat-scandal etc), so I think this should be on a higher level in your organisation.

        It’s a problem with the whole industry, a lefleat I saw today at Tesco says.

        So due to this I want to escalate, please.

        Thanks for your email and the further information you provided.  I’m sorry to learn you’re unhappy with our response.

        As advised in our previous emails, if a card if declined in store we’re unable to establish the reason for this.  The instruction to decline the card comes direct from the card provider.  As I’m sure you can appreciate, we need to act on such requests.  

        The only way to resolve this is to contact your card provider.  They’ll be able to carry out a full investigation and establish the reason the card was declined.  Unfortunately, we’re unable to do this on your behalf.  

        Your card provider wouldn’t be able to provide us with any of this information.  This would constitute a breach of the Data Protection Act.  Your card provider will only be able to discuss this with you.  I’m sorry we’re not able to assist you further.  

        We appreciate you’ve taken the time to contact us again and hope you’re able to get this resolved soon.

        Hi,

        I’ve sent about this complaint earlier today, (Monday):

        Erik Ribsskog

        PS.


        Here is more about this:

        Hi,

        ok, I think it’s strange that all your machines doesn’t seem to work.


        It was also a problem with your bank-terminal, at this shop, the week before, (I think it was).



        (Like I have discussed with your college Ajay Chand, like one can see, in one of the forwarded e-mails, with this e-mail).

        A bank-terminal that refuses to let people pay by card, when they have money, on their account.

        That must be pretty rear, I think.

        And that this store also have a group of six self-service tills, that doesn’t work, the next week.


        (Which I haven’t seen in any other store.


        And these tills have been around since 2005, at least, I remember.


        Because I saw them that year, at a big Sainsbury’s in Kensington, in London, where I lived for a couple of weeks, that year).

        So this seems very strange to me.


        It’s like an invasion of Gremlins, I think.


        And how about the group of higher managers, which were standing in between the two groups of self-service tills, on the mentioned Wednesday, (the ones who were monitoring me and the other custommers), do you have an explanation for this?



        Have you had problems with an invasion from Mars?

        I think it must have been something like this, since there has been so much strange ‘stuff’ going on in your store.


        Due to that there have been many problems, I would have wanted to escalate about this, please.

        It has been so much problems with the food-industry lately, (with the horse-meat-scandal etc), so I think this should be on a higher level in your organisation.

        It’s a problem with the whole industry, a lefleat I saw today at Tesco says.

        So due to this I want to escalate, please.

        Thank you for your email reply.  I am sorry my colleagues have been unable to resolve this matter to your satisfaction.  I can appreciate your frustration as you have provided us with several pieces of information about your transaction.

        I can confirm that the information my colleague Jamie and Stacey provided you is correct.  When a customer’s payment card is declined at our checkouts we are unable to identify why this decision was made.  The instruction to refuse payment comes from the card provider.

        I know you understand there is also a merchant who facilitates these requests on behalf of your card provider.  I appreciate you experience of retail in Norway but unfortunately the process you outline when incidents like this occur is not mirrored in our stores.

        When a card is declined in store we are unable to establish the reason. There can be several factors which can cause this, for example the merchant provider may be down.  We would request you follow the guidance offered by my colleagues and contact your card provider for further information.
        We appreciate you taking the time to come back to us and hope the information we have provided is useful.

        Kind regards

        Hi,

        like I wrote in the first e-mail about this problem.

        If it was a problem with the connection, then the bank-terminals in Norway, more than twenty years ago, wrote a receipt, which was almost like a cheque, for the custommer to sign.


        The amount would then take a bit longer time, (a couple of days, I think we told the custommers), to be withdrawn, from the custommers’ bank-accounts.

        So is the UK more than 20 years behind Norway, when it comes to this?

        This doesn’t seem likely, to me.

        I wonder if there have been some ‘Gremlins’ here, messing with my account.


        I think it’s poor custommer-service, that you don’t investigate what has happened here.


        I have also gone to business-school, and learned that the custommer is always right.

        I think the UK is poor on custommer-service.


        You should learn from the USA, I think.

        It doesn’t seem you have a custommer-service attitude, (towards custommers), here in the UK.

        Thank you for your further email.  I am sorry my colleagues have been unable to resolve this matter to your satisfaction.  I can appreciate your frustration as you have provided us with several pieces of information about your transaction. As requested your correspondence has been escalated to me.

        Our customers experience is important to us.  We expect our customers to have the best service possible and it is disappointing to us that this has not been your experience.

        As my colleagues have explained, when a customer’s payment card is declined at our checkouts we are unable to identify why this decision was made.  The instruction to refuse payment comes from the card provider.

        I know you understand there is also a merchant who facilitates these requests on behalf of your card provider.  I appreciate you experience of retail in Norway but unfortunately the process you outline when incidents like this occur is not mirrored in our stores.

        As you mention your card was then accepted on the second attempt, it may be there was a temporary error with the connection from your card supplier. To this end we would request you follow the guidance offered by my colleagues and contact your card provider for further information.

        I appreciate this was not the answer you were hoping for but I must stress that my colleagues have guided you correctly through all stages of your contact with us.  I hope you can speak with you banking group and source the answer you require.

        I appreciate you taking the time to get in touch.

        Hi,

        thank you for your e-mail!

        I think that since this was something that happened, in your store, then you have a responsibility, to help finding out what has happened.


        I think it’s poor custommer-support, that I have to go in the bank, and ask them, what has happened.


        I’ve sent you the recepts and all, so this is something you could find out, I think.

        You are just being lazy here, it seems to me.


        Dear I ask to get this escalated again?

        Regards,


        Erik Ribsskog

        Hi,

        I’ve worked as a store manager myself in Norway.


        And if I had gotten a complaint like that, I would have called the company which runs the bank-terminals, and asked them what the problem was.

        So this wasn’t good custommer-support, I think.


        Can I escalate this to your line-manager, please?

        Dear Mr Ribsskog

        Thanks for your email and further comments relating to your recent enquiry.

        I’ve contacted the Rice lane store and discussed this with Nicola Edwards, the Customer Services Desk.  She’s asked me to send her apologies and was disappointed to hear of your experience.  She’s advised when a card is declined in store we aren’t able to establish the reason.  There can be several factors which can cause this for example the merchant provider may be down.

        I appreciate the time you have taken to contact us and I hope this information is helpful.

        Hi,

        thank you for your e-mail!

        I don’t think it could have been the card-provider, that the problem was with.


        Because like one can see, on the recepits, that I attach copies of.


        The card worked again, a minute after if first had been refused.

        So it was just a temporarely problem, it seems.


        But like I wrote to you earlier, I’ve worked full time, as a cashier, for almost a year, at OBS Triaden, in Norway.

        And this was in 1990/91.


        But we had bank-terminals, in every other till.

        And even 20 years ago, this didn’t happen.


        If the bank terminals were off-line, then the custommer was told to sign a recepit, and this was then like a cheque, more or less.


        So I think it’s to bad, that this worked in Norway, 20 years ago.


        But it doesn’t work in the UK, today.

        I know there is a company, in-between you and the banks.

        (I know, because I’ve also worked as a retail manager in Norway, for ten years, in the Rimi-chain, owned by ICA).

        So I think it could be some ‘Gremlins’ there perhaps.

        This company was called ‘Bank Accept’, (or something), in Norway.

        You probably have an equivalent, (to Bank Accept), here in the UK.


        So I send again about this.


        Perhaps you could escalate this to your line-manager.

        Thanks for your email.  I’m sorry your visa card payment was refused at our Rice Lane store on your recent visit.  I understand your disappointment as there was enough money in your bank.

        We are not aware of any faults with our card machines at the minute.  I can only recommend that you contact your card provider.

        We appreciate you taking the time to get in touch and make us aware of this and hope to see you in store soon.

        Hi there,

        yes I send to Denmark.
        I see on StatCounter that you are in Ski.
        I remember from living at St. Hanshaugen that most people sleep at this time of the week, (the night before Monday, then Oslo was very quiet, I remember).

        And Google translate is the only other ‘person’, on the web-shop, this date, so I see this is someone from Ski.

        Hi,

        ok, I’m now only copying you the e-mail to Liverpool City Council, (perhaps it’s possible to understand then):

        Hi,


        at the end of last week, I recieved a long letter, about this, from the Council.


        The letter was largely rubbish, I think I have to say.


        I’ll try to index my complaints.


        1.



        You say my claim for Income Support is ‘out of date’.


        Where as the Department of Work and Pensions have let me update about my finances for my business many months later.


        What counts is when I get aware of what Income Support is.


        I have been self-employed and I haven’t had a fixed monthly income, so I couldn’t tell you about how much I’d earn, right away.


        I’m also from Norway, and don’t know about Income Support, since Norwegian newspapers don’t write about the British society in detail.


        Also, my uncle in Norway, Martin Ribsskog, once told me, that a doctor had given him compensation, years later, when he didn’t know about a Government programme.


        So then it should be like this, in this case as well, I think.


        This with just saying ‘out of date’, is like something Balderick in Black Adder would have said.

        Please don’t f*ck around, Norwegians hate being treated like that, and you are in the EU now, eighter you like it or not.


        If you don’t like it then have a go at your politicians instead of having a go at normal people.


        I’ve also contacted you about Income Support earlier, in 2010, but then you didn’t reply at all, you just moved my debt back from the Bailiff, or at least part of the debt, since you have kept my dept on one Bailiff account and one secret account it seems.


        2.


        You say that you became aware of that I was un-employed when I contacted you about Income Support, in 2010.


        But I called you in November 2008 about this, so you are clearly lieing.


        You probably write this so as to label me long time unemployed so that moralists are going to mess with me.


        Like Baldrick in Black Adder, to get someone Christian to mess with someone, etc.



        3.



        You moved my debt, to be withdrawn, from my Jobseekers Allowance, in 2010, but you didn’t put all the debt, on that account.


        When I moved from Liverpool, to Sunderland, earlier this year, then suddently around £500 more debt, turned up.


        This means someone have messed with my Council Tax-account, I think.

        Is Balderick from Black Adder working for you?


        Is it the Vatican who don’t like me?


        (I remember a woman standing outside of the vatican ’embassy’ in London, blowing sigarette smoke on me, when I went to the Norwegian embassy, in 2007, with an employment case against Bertelsmann Arvato Microsoft Scandinavian Product Activation, which the Merseyside Police had stopped answering me about).


        Are the Vatican controlling the Liverpool City Council and messing with me because I’m from a protestant country, (Norway), and making secret files there?


        What’s going on?

        Hi,


        thank you very much for your reply!


        Actually, I also think I should have gotten Income-support. Concil-Tax Benefit and Housing Allowance, from when I was Self Employed, between March 2007 and November 2008.


        Since I didn’t earn that much then.


        Is it any way I can please get these money now, since I have arrears now, with a lot of companies, dating back from the time I worked as Self Employed.


        Thanks in advance for any help!

        Hi,




        I was wondering, before I contact the Council.



        Are you aware of that the Parliamentary Ombudsman refered me to the LGO?





        I’ve already had a complaint from before, against the Liverpool City Council, and then I just sent e-mails, by the way.




        Thanks in advance for clearing up about this!


        Yours sincerely,


        Erik Ribsskog

        (Please quote our reference when contacting us)

        Dear Mr Ribsskog,
        Thank you for your complaint against Liverpool City Council (the “Council”).
        The law says that, before investigating a complaint, the Ombudsman must normally be satisfied that the Council knows about the complaint and has been given the opportunity to investigate and to reply. Usually, you need to put your complaint through all stages of the Council ’s own complaints process before the Ombudsman can look at it. The attached fact sheet explains this in greater detail.
        From the information you have provided it is not clear whether your complaint has been through the Council ’s complaints process. If you have not yet done so, I suggest that you now make a formal complaint, in writing, to the chief executive of the Council. If you are still dissatisfied at the end of the process, you may complain to the Ombudsman.
        If you feel that your complaint has already completed the Council ’s complaints process, please call the Advice Team on the number above. It would help if you have with you the Council ’s written response to your complaint when you call as our Adviser will ask you some questions about what the letter says.  
        I hope this is of assistance. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you will make a complaint to the Council, and we will not contact you again.

        Yours sincerely

        Angie LecuyerCustomer Service Adviser

        Dear Mr Ribsskog,

        I have not accused you of committing a crime. I have asked repeatedly if you could confirm whether or not you have made a claim for the back dated benefit. As previously explained, my reason for asking this is because you may have a right to appeal if you have made an actual claim and had a formal decision. So far you have refused to answer this question so I am unable to offer the appropriate advice.

        I cannot assist you if you are unable to answer questions or keep sending us information about a complaint with the Job Centre from 2011. Please feel free to contact the Parliamentary Ombudsman but as they do not deal with complaints about councils it is unlikely that they will be able to assist you.
        Yours sincerely

        Hi,

        after looking at this e-mail now, I think I have to say I complained formally about this to the Council, in 2011.
        (Even if I was a bit frusterated at the time, after being thrown out, unfairly I thought, from my appartment in Leather Lane, in Liverpool and University of Sunderland’s Clanny House).


        Sorry that it takes a bit of time for me to find this, it’s been a lot of correspondence going on, between the Council and myself.

        Best regards,

        Hi,

        Liverpool City Council sent me a letter the other day, saying that they want to deduct money, from my Jobseekers Allowance.


        However, those arrears are part of an ongoing complaint-case I have against the Liverpool City Council which have even been with the Parliamentary Ombudsman.


        To not make this more complicated than necessary, I ask the Jobcenter to wait untill that case is settled, with withdrawing money.


        I ask the Parliamentary Ombudsman for more advice regarding this case, as the Liverpool City Council have closed the complaint-file ten days after sending the long letter refered to in the forwareded e-mail, which I think is much to early, and as far as I remember it this breaches the Liverpool City Councils own Complaint Procedure.


        Yours sincerely,

        Hi,

        the Council are charging me for Council-tax, (around £511), which I’ve paid to Jacobs Bailiff, in Birkenhead, (like the Council asked me to).


        Regards,

        Dear Mr Ribsskog

        Thank you for your email. You still need to complain to the council first I’m afraid. If you would like to discuss the complaints process in more detail you can contact the advice team on 0300 0610614 and an advisor will try and help you.

        Kind Regards

        Hi,

        I was wondering, before I contact the Council.


        Are you aware of that the Parliamentary Ombudsman refered me to the LGO?

        I’ve already had a complaint from before, against the Liverpool City Council, and then I just sent e-mails, by the way.

        Thanks in advance for clearing up about this!

        Yours sincerely,


        Erik Ribsskog

        (Please quote our reference when contacting us)

        Dear Mr Ribsskog,
        Thank you for your complaint against Liverpool City Council (the “Council”).
        The law says that, before investigating a complaint, the Ombudsman must normally be satisfied that the Council knows about the complaint and has been given the opportunity to investigate and to reply. Usually, you need to put your complaint through all stages of the Council ’s own complaints process before the Ombudsman can look at it. The attached fact sheet explains this in greater detail.
        From the information you have provided it is not clear whether your complaint has been through the Council ’s complaints process. If you have not yet done so, I suggest that you now make a formal complaint, in writing, to the chief executive of the Council. If you are still dissatisfied at the end of the process, you may complain to the Ombudsman.
        If you feel that your complaint has already completed the Council ’s complaints process, please call the Advice Team on the number above. It would help if you have with you the Council ’s written response to your complaint when you call as our Adviser will ask you some questions about what the letter says.  
        I hope this is of assistance. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you will make a complaint to the Council, and we will not contact you again.

        Yours sincerely
        Angie Lecuyer
        Customer Service Adviser

        Hi,
        I think the way you respond to the complaints I’m sending you, at Twitter, seems very inconsistent.
        So I would have wanted to please escalate this complaint, for a second opinion.

        Hope this is alright!

        walterhcampbell, Jan 18 12:23 pm (PST): Hello,
        While we understand your frustration, the reported behavior is not in violation of the Twitter Rules (http://twitter.com/rules).
        Here are some quick tips to help you with your situation:

        • Do not respond to the user. We have found that responding to someone who is intentionally attempting to aggravate you or others encourages them to continue their behavior.
        • Block the user. You can block the user using the blocking feature described here: https://support.twitter.com/entries/117063
        • Learn more about how to deal with abusive users: https://support.twitter.com/articles/15794
        • Learn how to flag inappropriate media here: https://support.twitter.com/articles/20069937

        As a policy, we do not mediate content and we do not intervene in disputes between users. This means that users are allowed to post potentially inflammatory content, provided that they do not violate the Twitter Rules.
        If someone feels personally threatened, or if you believe the content you are reporting is prohibited in your local jurisdiction, please contact your local authorities with the information you provided to us. You can point local law enforcement to our Law Enforcement Guidelines here: https://support.twitter.com/articles/41949.
        Please let us know if you believe the behavior has escalated or otherwise violates our rules.

        johncons, Jan 09 02:11 am (PST): How can we help?: Offensive content
        Reported user: @KurtSvenne
        Offensive Tweet: https://twitter.com/KurtSvenne/status/286734333086138368
        Text of Tweet: @johncons Jeg har ikke sex med menn, så neitakk! Lykke til videre med letingen! Tror heller ikke @jeblad er interessert.
        Tweet time: Jan 03 2013 07:22:46 via web
        What are you reporting?: This user keeps sending me @replies and I don’t want to receive them.
        Blocked user(s): Yes
        How long ago did this begin?: About a week ago
        How many times has this happened?: Only once, (but this is a new account which seems dedicated to attacking me).
        I’ve sent you around one hundred smilar reports lately.
        This seems organised.
        Further description of problem: This is a person who I have no idea who is, and who I’ve never even heard of.
        The tweet, (in Norwegian), means something like this: ‘@johncons I don’t have sex with men, so no thanks! Good luck with searching. I don’t think @jeblad is interested eighter’.
        This person pretends that I’ve contacted him, with sex-suggestions.
        But I’m a heterosexual man who has never even heard of this person.
        So I find this tweet very offensive and this is some kind of fraud, one could say, because he pretends I’ve contacted him, to make me look silly, to other people, I guess.
        This @jeblad, which he mentions, is a Wiki-admin, (or at least an earlier Wiki-admin, as far as I know, from getting correspondence about him, from other Wikipedians), who I’ve earlier have complained about to you, because he writes lies about me, in many of his tweets.
        I’ve wanted to report this fabricated stuff you have on your network here, to make me look gay, when that’s the last thing I am, so to speak.
        Here someone have sat down for hours to make a cunning plan, to make me unpopular, and try to distroy my reputation, by trying to make me look like a homosexual person, and try to get other people to label me as gay, so to make me unpopular and perhaps isolate me.
        This is some kind of wichcraft perhaps.
        Something like this.
        Perhaps you should verify who people are before they are allowed to tweet?
        Perhaps you should have a rule which says that people can only tweet if they use their real name while tweeting?
        Your anonomious b*stards make me use hours and hours on writing your detailed reports.
        And this is distroying my reputation as well, I guess.
        And you at Twitter don’t even tell me who these criminals are, who writes all these lies and obsceneties about me.
        I could surely have taken these people to court, if you had told me their names.
        But you protect the criminals, it seems to me.
        Your full name: Erik Ribsskog

        Hi,

        thank you for your e-mail.
        I just thought the new name was a bit like you moralise and patronise people.

        I think a neutral name like ‘Debt Advice’, would have been better.

        Your old name, (CCCS), was also a bit strange, I think, (to be honest), because it almost look like CCCP, which is the Russian name for the Soviet Union, I think.

        So it was almost like one were labeled as communists if one wrote to CCCS.

        And now one are labeled as immoral, I think, (since one have to change ones behaviour, that is change ones steps).
        But I think a neutral name would have been better, it’s like both your old and new name labeles your clients, I think.


        That’s my opinion at least.

        I understand you are a charity, so I’m not sure if I should take this complaint any further.
        (Since I’m not that used with dealing with charities).

        I’ve said my opinion now, at least.
        So I have to think about if I should do anything more in conection with this complaint.

        Thanks again for your e-mail.


        Regards,

        Erik Ribsskog

        Hi,

        I must admit that I’ve only read the first line of your e-mail now.

        You bring my feelings into this.

        This I react on.

        Then I think you are not a serious business-person.

        I therefore would have wanted to please get this escalated to your line-manager.

        Client reference: 1105539

        Complaint reference: 1076/1105539

        Further to my previous email which acknowledged your concerns about our recent name change. You’ve told us that you feel our new name is patronising and demoralising. I’m sure you’ll appreciate
        it isn’t our intention to upset any of our clients.

        Changing our name from Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) was a bold step for us. Although we help thousands of people every day with their debt problems, and we’re already the UK’s largest
        single provider of Debt Management Plans, millions of people still need our help. Becoming StepChange Debt Charity is part of our plan to be more visible and to help even more people.

        You’ve told us you dislike our new name but we believe it will help raise awareness of our services and provide a clear message about who we are and what we do. It will help people recognise the
        free services we offer and hopefully we’ll become the organisation that people turn to first when looking for debt help.

        We’re not here to judge people who contact us. We aim to give them the help and advice they need to take control of their financial situation no matter how they got in to difficulty.

        You’ve also raised concern that we’re funded by creditors which has caused you to have doubts about how independent we are. Unlike fee-charging debt management companies, we are funded by creditors.
        Their charitable contributions enable us to provide genuinely free advice and support to those who need it. Our advice is always based on what is best for an individual not what is most profitable for us. Creditors do not influence our advice or the debt solutions
        we discuss with individuals who need our help.

        I hope my explanation helps you understand why we’ve changed our name and that I’ve restored your confidence in our service. I’m sorry you dislike our new name but we hope you’ll continue to use
        our free service to guide you through your financial difficulties.

        Details of the charity’s formal complaints procedure were sent to you in our initial email. If you aren’t satisfied with this response, you may refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service
        who’ll complete an impartial review of your concerns. You’ll need to do this within six months of the date of this email. Information relating to their service can be found using the following link
