Spoke with George

Spoke with George. Listened to the problem, and understood the issue. Absolutely top class customer service agent. An asset, not only to his training, but to his employer also.

Monthly invoice downloads

Jade was extremely helpful and pleasant; however, the current system doesn't seem as efficient as it used to be. Previously invoices were emailed, together with the Invoice Detail Report which under law has been held on file showing when the lifts were. Now you have to log into the Veolia hub, print off the invoice, and try to find the Invoice Detail Report, which very often isn't there. Surely to generate the invoice, the list of lifts has to be input first ?? As usual, progress is going backwards for the consumer.

ORIGINAL MESSAGE

I have been having consistent issues with my bin collection and Jade dealt with the depot to schedule in another collection. Hoping that this will resolve this issue as my bin desperately needs emptying.

RECENT UPDATE

It took almost three weeks to get my bin emptied after constant messaging from me and unfilled promises from Veolia. Drivers were claiming to have visited my site, however on inspection they weren't even at my site. I asked for the driver to call me when he was onsite, however for some reason he called the wrong number. It was a category of errors made by Veolia and their employees despite me providing photos of my site, links to google maps, what.three.words information and everything required to make this process as easy and efficient as possible. Rude customer service staff who couldn't help me made it incredibly frustrating and I was expected to pay for a service that I wasn't receiving. My bin is due to be collected this Thursday, so I will wait to see if that actually happens.

Sort it out Veolia, there are no reasons why you couldn't collect my bin.

Acacia in customer services was very helpful when I spoke to her about our missed collection she would get 5 stars
But your transport department would get zero - it was noted on the account there was no access to the bins on the Saturday until 8am but a lorry turned up at 6.45am !!!
We now have to wait until Weds !!!!!
