Dear Mariyam, please could you provide the customer account details associated with your query. We are unable to trace the account by name alone. We will only have billed in connection with a business account, but sometimes the market data we rely on can be out of date or incorrect. We are sorry if this is the case and we will be able to correct this if you contact us through Customer.Relations@business-stream.co.uk Thank you.

Your consultant was able to sort my queries and was polite and helpful. It needed to be talked through on the phone as no amount of emails had managed to even elicit a response as the customer nos I was given were wrong and we were not informed of the new ones. I hope this problem is now solved. Thank you. I hope also that your phone lines are now back in service so that problems of access to the business can be solved swiftly and easily and that communications between customer and the company work both ways

Dear Sir, I understand that you have already been in contact with one of our dedicated complaint handlers, Graeme. There was a cross over in payment being taken and being posted to the account. Additionally colleague error not checking a timeline and notes in systems before making a follow up contact. Again, we would like to take the opportunity to apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope that discussions with our handler have resulted in a satisfactory resolution. Thank you.
