    Hi,

    my mother used to subscribe to the newspaper Nybrott, in Norway, around 1978.

    And then we got an invoice in the post.

    And my mother showed me the invoce (for some reason, because this was really not my business, I was only around eight years old).

    And she said that she/we would just not pay the bill.

    (Because she wanted to stop the subscription).

    And they I asked her, and she said, that the newspaper-deliveries would then continue, for some days/weeks.

    But still, we wouldn’t need to pay, for these extra newspapers.

    So that’s how people did it in the 70’s.

    So it it was ok to do it like that then, then it should be ok these days as well, I think.

    It’s not right if consumer-rights are beign squized, I think.

    So this I have to complain.

    Like I wrote in the last email, EE also used an old-fashiened USB-wire, so that the router charged to slow (and one could sometimes not use the internet for hours, and I have one of Norways biggest blogs, so I want to have access to the internet 24/7 (and not 12/7)).

    And also EE stopped the sim-card from working, around the time I bought the Three pay-as-you-go router/sim-card.

    But like I’ve mentioned, I have a big blog, so I wanted to be a bit sorted, when it came to internet/sim-cards/routers.

    So even if I also bought a pay as you go-router from Three, that didn’t mean that I automaticaly wanted to shut down the EE-subscripton.

    I could perhaps have put the EE sim-card in the Three-router.

    Or I could have started climbing the ‘internet-subscripton-ladder’ with Three.

    I also send a copy of this email to Ofcom, as a complaint.

    And also it was a bit odd (I remember thinking) that data/GB was more expensive (in the UK) if the product was named: ‘Wireless broadband’, than if the GB/data where part of a mobile-sim-card-plan.

    I haven’t lived in the UK since 2017.

    So I can’t say how this is now.

    (The police in the UK harass me all the time (some internet-trolls make them swat me).

    So it’s not possible for me to live in the UK.

    It seems).

    Erik Ribsskog

    PS.

    I don’t think it’s right that I should need to explain this again and again.

    I want a reply (a second opinion) from a superior, about this.

    Hi,

    my mother (who had gone to mercantile school, like myself) told me in the seventies, that if you wanted to stop a subscribtion, then you just don’t pay the bill.

    So I did it like in the 70’s.

    Erik Ribsskog

    PS.

    Also, I think it would have embarrasing to go back to EE.

    I really went there to get a pay-as-you-go internet-dongle (like they used to sell) but ended up with a monhtly-plan.

    And this was right after I had emigrated from Norway.

    So this was while I was still living at Lord Nelson Hotel in Liverpool City Center (like I remember it).

    (Before I got the flat in Tuebrook).

    I understand that you believe EE owes you money and not the other way around.

    In your email you have stated that you were having issues with your router and the sim stopped work, can you confirm if you ever contacted EE to advise of this and if so what steps were taken to repair this.

    Subject: Complaint/Fwd: Manage your accounts (Thread:4945716)

    Hi,

    the way I remember it, EE owes me money (and not the other way around).

    I got a monthly wireless broadband-plan, from EE (in Liverpool City Center) in the summer of 2017.

    And after a few weeks, the sim-card stopped working.

    And that wasn’t the only problem.

    I really wanted a USB-dongle (like T-Mobile/EE sold, around 2011).

    But they’d stopped selling these.

    And instead I had to buy a router.

    But the problem was that the router didn’t charge that well.

    So sometimes it ran out of power.

    And then I couldn’t use the internet, for a number of X hours.

    And that’s not really an alternative to ADSL/regular broadband then, I think.

    So I got a pay-as-you-go sim-card/router, from Three.

    (Since I’m a Norwegian citizen, then I’m not in the electoral-register.

    So it’s not easy getting monthly-plans in the UK (for Norwegian citizens).

    Even before Brexit this was a problem).

    So I just started buying pay-as-you-go-data/gigabytes at Tesco, etc.

    For the Three-router.

    And I got myself a flat in Tuebrook, in the autumn of 2017.

    And the flat was unfurnished.

    And I hadn’t brought any furniture etc. with me from Norway.

    So I had a lot of other stuff to buy (for the flat).

    So I just continued using the Three-router/sim-card/wireless broadband.

    And when the EE sim-card stopped working, then I must have stopped the direct debit, by using eighter my RBS internet-bank og Barclays internet-bank.

    But this was EE’s own foult, since their stuff didn’t work.

    They made the sim-card stop working (the way I remember it).

    And their router wasn’t good enough to do with charging (of the built-in battery).

    So it was basically rubbish, I’d say.

    (And it was also in a funny yellow colour.

    So it looked like EE had used a lot of effort into this product.

    But it didn’t work properly.

    And also they shut down my sim-card, after a few weeks, even if I had gotten money from a property-sale in Norway, some weeks earlier, so it was plenty of money, on both my British bank-accounts)

    So this I have to complain about.

    Hi,

    thank you for your e-mail!

    I send a copy-email to the internet adjudicator then.

    I tried to look more at Virgins website now, and had a chat with Phil.

    But when I tried to call the mobile-number he mentioned, then it
    wasn’t free, (anyway), and I’m out of credit on my mobile, since I
    haven’t gotten my jobseekers allowance lately.

    And I attach a copy of the conversation with Phil.

    I think it’s strange they don’t have an e-mail-address.

    I used to be with BT Broadband, (from 2006 to 2011), and they were
    possible to e-mail.

    But when I moved to Sunderland, in 2011, then BT sent me a cheque, for
    around £150, I think.

    So they must have double-charged me, for some months, I think.

    And then discovered this, later.

    I really wanted to use a credit they had.

    But I think what happened was that BT double-charged me instead.

    So like some sharia, or something?

    So BT freaked me out, I have to say.

    And that’s why I chosed Virgin now.

    But if I’d known they don’t use e-mail, then I would have chosen Talk
    Talk, (or another internet-supplier), I think.

    Just to try to update.

    Thanks again for the e-mail.

    Best regards,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Update/Fwd: Virgin Media Helpsite Webform – Complaint Form (KMM1931427V77385L0KM)

    Hi,

    this is just more harassment from Virgin.

    I haven’t contacted them on any contact-form or chat, or what it is they have.

    (I prefer to send proper e-mails to proper e-mail-addresses.

    Because then on gets to keep a copy of ones correspondence in ones e-mail-programmes.

    I’ve
    worked as a Company Researcher, in 2007 and 2008, and around then, more
    or less all companies had their e-mail-address, on their website.

    So it’s a mystery to me, why Virgin don’t have a general enquiery e-mail-adress, on their website.

    It’s a step backwards, with the chats and the contact forms, I think.

    If
    one send a contact-form, one don’t know, when one send it, if its going
    to return an e-mail, with a copy of the correspondence.

    These are issues I’ve written about, on my blog, earlier, and also sent about, to the Parliamentary Ombudsman, etc.

    So this could be someone who have read my blog, but don’t know how to write, who used terror/hijacking, to correspond.

    Some type of people who are cynical, perhaps.
    I’m
    quite well known, (I’ve been on telly in Norway, and a Store Manager in
    Norway and I have a blog, and have been a moderator on the irc-quiz, in
    Norway, in the late 90’s), so who could this be, I don’t know, it could
    be lot of usual and unusual suspects, I guess, like they say).

    Regards,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Hi,

    the hijackers have changed my contact-email, to a female version of my first-name my webshops domain-name.

    So this is probably someone who knows me, (since they knows the name of my webshop and ridicule me).

    (Also, I’ve been on telly in Norway, a couple of years
    ago, (since I’m writing my memoirs and have a webshop, that sells
    sweets, from the UK, to Norway).
    So I’m perhaps a bit
    populare, (my blog also have many readers), since I was a quite well
    known Store Manager and internet-quiz-guy, when I lived in Norway).

    now someone have even hijacked my Virgin-account, it seems.

    I just wanted to warn about this.

    Hi,

    this is really a complaint about Ofcom, so I should send it to the
    High Court, I think.

    (Especially since this was just sent to OCCtelecoms@ofcom.org.uk).

    Ofcom writes that they can’t have their e-mail address on their
    website, because they can’t have a general enquiery e-mail-address,
    because they are to big.

    But they send me an e-mail from ‘OCCtelecoms@ofcom.org.uk‘.

    Why can’t they have this e-mail-address on their website?

    That makes no sense to me.

    They just write some balony really, I think.

    Also, I asked the Information Commissioner’s Office, (who had a proper
    e-mail address), to send my complaint on to Ofcom, about a year ago.

    But ICO refused to do that.

    But there’s something called civilisation.

    And it’s something called society.

    Isn’t it?

    So when I ask them, if can send my e-mail on to their
    sister-organisation, more or less, (both are founded by the
    Government, if I’m not mistaking), then they could do that, I think.

    I’ve think I’ve sent you a copy of my first e-mail to Ofcom, (which I
    sent a few days ago, to graham.howell@ofcom.org.uk).

    Virgin to didn’t have a proper e-mail-address, so I haven’t gotten to
    send to them.

    I don’t think contact-forms are fine, because they make citizens lose
    control of their complaints, I think.

    So I tried to find Ofcoms e-mail address.

    But couldn’t find it, so I ended up sending about this, to ICO.

    The inital complaint, (from around a year ago), was mainly about
    Virgin needed to visit me four times, (with even more different
    staff), to install a broadband-line.

    BT only needed one visit and one staff, when they installed a
    broadband-line for me, in Mandeville St., here in Walton, in 2006.

    So I wonder if Virgin did some bogus stuff.

    Also, on the first visit, Virgin drilled an extra whole, in the wall,
    in my lounge, and put some silver stuff in it, and also the engineer
    lost his balance, in my chair, (or pretended to), and distroyed my
    printer, (so I had to glue some stuff on it, with super-glue).

    And also I’ve sent to you, (a copy email), about the Ofcom/Royal
    Mail-complaint, in the e-mail to graham.howell@ofcom.org.uk on 29/5.

    Regards,

    Dear Mr Ribsskog

    Thank you for your email dated 29 May 2014 to Graham Howell. Graham
    has forwarded your email to the Consumer Contact Team and I have been
    asked to reply.

    I was sorry to learn that you felt it necessary to complain about our
    website. Because the communications sector covers such a large area,
    we are unable to supply an email address for a consumer to send their
    complaint or enquiry to. As you say, for certain issues consumers can
    register their experiences with Ofcom online. This information about
    consumer experience and information helps to inform our policy.
    However, I should like to add that we are not responsible for
    resolving individual complaints consumers have against their
    providers.

    If a consumer has a more detailed concern or cannot find the advice on
    our website they are looking for, they can contact our advice line on:
    0300 123 3333 or 020 7981 3040. The lines are open Monday to Friday
    from 9.00am to 5.00pm.

    Virgin Media

    Regarding your complaint against Virgin Media, if you are unhappy
    about how they handled the installation of your service you should
    follow the company’s complaints procedure:
    http://store.virginmedia.com/content/dam/eSales/Downloads/004942%20Customer%20Complaint_v2.pdf.

    While the final stage of this refers to submitting a complaint to
    CISAS (www.cisas.org.uk), they are unlikely to be able to consider an
    issue about any damage a Virgin Media engineer caused to your
    property. However, CISAS should be able to deal with any unresolved
    complaint you have about the amount of time it took Virgin Media to
    complete the installation. CISAS is a free and independent service
    which can award costs to a consumer. Virgin Media must abide by the
    decision of CISAS. However, you are not bound by this decision and can
    consider legal action if dissatisfied with their decision.

    On the matter of the Virgin Media engineer accessing your personal
    information, I recognise this is something you feel strongly about.
    Unfortunately, it is not something we can comment on as we do not
    enforce the Data Protection Act.

    Royal Mail

    You also highlighted your concerns about Royal Mail increasing the
    cost of 1st and 2nd class stamps in 2012.

    As more consumers and businesses turn towards other means of
    communication, such as text and email, postal volumes are on the
    decline. This trend has brought new challenges to the industry, and a
    severe risk to the sustainability of the universal postal service. As
    a result, following public consultations in both October and December
    2011, Ofcom has developed a new regulatory framework which intends to
    secure the universal service for the immediate future.

    This new framework allows Royal Mail (the UK’s designated universal
    service provider) a greater commercial freedom when setting prices, so
    long as they meet important safeguards. While Royal Mail is free to
    set its own prices for 1st class stamps, one of the safeguards in
    place is a 55p cap on the cost of a 2nd class stamp (the cap will be
    indexed in line with inflation). We believe that this safeguard will
    ensure that postal services remain affordable for low income
    households and vulnerable customers.

    I hope the above information will be useful to you.

    Yours sincerely

    Steven Parker

    Consumer Contact Team

    Hi,

    could you have a look at this complaint about Virgin Broadband, please.

    Also I would like to complain that Ofcom don’t have general enquiry
    e-mail addresses on their website, (only contact-forms, which don’t
    let the citizen keep control of the complaint, I think, because one
    don’t know if one get a copy e-mail generated or not, when one use the
    contact-forms).

    Also I wanted to complain that Ofcom increased the postage-prices to
    much, in 2012, I think it was.

    I have a web-shop.

    And when you almost double the prices on postage, (for packets sent by
    air-mail to Europe), then you distroy for businesses.

    Because businesses need stable frame-conditions, (like I learned when
    I was at course, with Unge Høyre, (the Conservative Youth
    Party)-leader, (now minister), Jan Tore Sanner, in Norway, in 1991).

    So I think it’s better for businesses if the postage-increases, are
    updated every year, and that they increase about as much, as the
    inflation is, every year.

    (And not ten or twenty or a hundred times as much as the inflation.

    One could think this big increase was done, to harm private businesses.

    Hm).

    Thanks in advance for any help with this!

    Regards,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Hi,

    thank you for your e-mail.

    I think it’s no doubt that the Virgin-engineer could have come across
    personal information, about me, when he sat down, in front of my
    computer.

    And this guy didn’t seem reliable, to me.

    Since he both drilled an extra hole in the wall, and he also distroyed
    my printer, when he sat down, on my chair.

    Because he acted like he was Charlie Chaplin, and fell down, from the
    chair, and distroyed the printer.

    Even if this was young engineer.

    And an engineer should understand how to sit on a chair.

    So I think he broke my printer on purpuse.

    And then I think he also could have drilled the extra hole, in the
    wall, on purpose.

    This is not the kind of people, that I want, to sit in front of my computer.

    It’s a PC, that means Personal Computer.

    And I could have had personal information on it.

    I scan documents, and people in general have a lot of information, on
    their computers.

    And this engineer was very good at computing, so who knows what he
    did, on my computer.

    I didn’t like monitor him, I tried to be a bit laid-back.

    And it was also two other Virgin-staff here, that day.

    The Virgin-staff who didn’t have an apointment, was here the next day.

    And that was a fourth Virgin-guy.

    So you have mixed up two of the Virgin-guys.

    It wasn’t the one who didn’t have an apointment, who looked at my computer.

    Those were two different guys.

    And even a fifth guy, turned up, the next week.

    So Virgin sendt five engineers here, to install a broadband-line.

    And it took them about a week, to finish the job.

    And a broadband-line isn’t that spectacular, these days.

    In 2006, BT used one engineer, and only one visit, (that lasted a
    couple of hours, I think it was), to install a broadband-line, when I
    lived in Mandeville St.

    So this that Virgin needs five guys to install a broadband-line, (when
    BT only needs one guy).

    It’s makes me wonder if Virgin are trying to terrorise me, or something.

    Hm.

    And this is the year 2013.

    It’s not the year 1913.

    And still Virgin doesn’t have an e-mail-address.

    A company which sells broadband-lines that doesn’t have an e-mail address.

    And the same with Ofcom.

    Are you sure you don’t have these e-mail-addresses.

    When I worked as a Store Manger, in Norway, I had a book with
    phone-numbers, for other organisations, in the retail-business.

    Don’t you at ICO have a list, where you have e-mail-addresses, etc.

    Is it ok that I don’t write to Virgin, since they don’t have an e-mail-address?

    Also, in my last e-mail, I asked you if you could please escalate this
    case, to your line-manager.

    Even the Virgin-guy who went here without an apointment could have
    seen personal information.

    What if I had had a girl-friend, and had a picture of her naked, was
    on the screen, and the computer was on.

    Or a love-letter had been laying on the table?

    That would have been personal information, I think.

    So I wonder if that Virgin-guys go to your flat, without an
    apointment, is a breach of ones Data Protection-rights.

    (Norwegian: ‘personvern’).

    And shouldn’t Ofcom and Virgin have e-mails-addresses?

    They can’t say they don’t understand the new IT-technology.

    Because these are IT-organisations, I’d say.

    So this is a cause of concern, I think, that these organisations
    doesn’t have e-mail addresses.

    Could you please escalate this case to your line-manager.

    So I could get a second opinion about this, please.

    Thanks in advance for the help with this!

    Best regards,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Hi,

    thank you for your e-mail!

    My National Insurance Number is SG 27 09 67 D.


    It’s also a complaint from May.

    And then I wondered why Ofcom doesn’t have a general enquiery e-mail address on their website.


    (Because I wanted to complain to Ofcom about Virgin Broadband, some months ago, and ended up complaining to ICO instead, since I don’t like ‘web-mail’, like Ofcom has, (on their website), since then the citizens sometimes lose control of their complaints, I think, since one sometimes doesn’t recieve an e-mail where the complaint is written, when one use ‘web-mail’, instead of proper e-mail-addresses, because then one can have a copy of the sent e-mail in ones e-mail-programme, and have documentation about what one wrote).

    Thanks again for the reply!

    Best regards,

    Erik Ribsskog
