“Happy Customer”

Cynthia M.

Having read some customer reviews I was concerned about my T. V. having to go in for repair but need not have worried, everything went well. Called Customer Service on Thursday (did take 45 mins to get through) I was told my T. V. would be collected the following morning which it was, received phone call 8 am to say they would be with me at 8.30 am which they were, later in the day received a Text to say T. V. had arrived at depot and would be returned to me in 7days which it was. The delivery man gave me a Repair Report and then proceeded to set everything up for me. Perfect working order. Happy Customer.

This is my third subcontracted know how repair completed or should I say uncomplicated by Hotpoint/whirlpool engineers.
First repair was for bearings replaced, engineer left my machine with the whole display flashing doing nothing and my door seal not fit all the way around.
Second repair, engineer told me first engineer had not connected the heating element wire she fit it said machine was working, went away. Put a load of washing in only to find same fault.
Third repair today engineer check on previous engineers repairs said he couldn't fault the machine. I said I would put a load of washing in the machine so he could see, the engineer said ok walked out of my home and went off in his van. Only then do I get a email saying he had completed the repair removed some objects from a pipe and it was working!
I have attached a video of what I have been left with.
Team know how firstly after two repairs asked if I wanted a new machine to which they did not honour and said I had to have a third visit.
Because the engineer would not visually wait around to see the fault and has not reported it I have to now have another engineers visit.
22 days now with out a machine.
I have continuously been lied to and promised help that has not materialised. No phone calls back after the knowhow team say they will. No manager from Whirlpool has got in touch after I requested a call and team know how will not put me through to one either.
I have phoned dozens of times, offered assistance on another website that basically told me what I'd already phoned up to be told.
Whirlpool would not entertain that engineers were at fault which is why I'm guessing I have been treated this way today.
I pay the policy as I have for years on time always and this is the level of service you receive.

Bought a fridge freezer from Curries, new one delivered, but delivery guys refused to take the old one away and left it sitting in the middle of the kitchen, this is despite a full disconnection and defrost as advised, did everything by the book, they said the van was to full, both units the same size

They gave a collection time of four to five days, My Wife and I had to manually drag the unit into the side passage (both oaps)
See pic, was picked five days later
Sales person guaranteed it would be exchanged on delivery
Team know nothing

Very unsatisfied, far too slow! I contacted customer service to try to arrange a speedier repair as I rely on my phone daily, representative didn't even try to help me, her response was no we don't do that, you'll need to borrow a friends phone, it takes as long as it takes! As a loyal customer for years I am horrified at such a terrible service! Save your money, no point insuring it with them as they take too long to fix the device when needed.

Don't touch them with a bargepole
The worst customer service you can imagine. They delivered a damaged washing machine, it took me hours over a two day period just to get through to customer service, but it takes a couple of minutes to get through to the sales team! I will never ever buy anything from Currys PC World! And will tell everyone I know about my nightmare! They should rename their "Team know how" to "Team scam how"

My 94-year old mother is still active and relatively independent but has a failing memory. I cancelled her policy with Team Knowhow last year as her goods are already covered on her household policy. I also spoke to Customer Services and asked them to stop sending her these invitations to renew. Today I found her filling in a new request for payment she had just received and writing a cheque for a year's insurance! Please Team Knowhow: stop sending these unsolicited letters to very elderly people. You need to change your methods and avoid automatic reminders being sent to those who have asked to be removed from the mailing list.

Twice i have tried to contact team not know how first time when i got through started to explain problem and they hung up
Second time on hold for 30 mins then got through again and it was just ringing out then got cut off never had to deal with such a lot of ignorant people before. Disgusted. If they did star rating with minus it would be minus 20.

The worst customer service I've ever received! Completely pointless cover policy that has cost me money keep having to take days off while engineers come out to fix the problem and turn up and can't fix it so I have to spend another hour on the phone waiting for someone to answer it! I could've bought three brand new machines with the money I've lost taking time off!
Refusing to replace a five year old tumble dryer so keep trying to repair it? Useless policy useless call center AVOID AVOID AVOID!

Took over a month to do a simple fix. Charged me an additional fee of 60 pounds. Had zero communication from them. Had to ring them twice to finding what was happening. On both incidents they hung up on me after I'd been on hold for 2+ hours and I had to ring back and go on hold again. If you do have to ring them go to the buying a product part of the automated services and they will answer slightly quicker. Absolutely useless company never use them.

This crowd are without doubt rubbish.
Even given the present problems their website doesn't work, they don't reply to emails, they take your money and don't give you updated paperwork.
God help you if you have a product problem!
They are excreta.
Someone from that outfit tell me if I have got it wrong!

I accept that Coronavirus is causing difficulties but that does not excuse the rudeness of Currys staff or their giving out incorrect information just to make a sale. My fridge freezer has malfunctioned 24 hours after installation. It's impossible to find anyone at Currys/Team Know How with responsibility or accountability to carry out a repair. I am a single vulnerable person who Currys claim will be given priority. Not true, extremely disappointing

My experience has convinced me to never buy anything from Curry's ever again. For a simple dishwasher purchase and install plus recycle of the old, I one endured the following from them and their "service" partner Team Knowhow:
- A week to hear back post order
- A delivery date and slot then forced on me with 2 days notice (no chance to even choose a date) - when I called they were unable to change it
- Having had to take the day off to wait for it, they didn't turn up. I had to find out by logging in that delivery was cancelled - no notification given whatsoever
- I had to call myself to find out why - no plausible reason other than a scripted apology. They could not reschedule right then due to system and refused to call me back to rebook - I had to do this the next day
- Was given a second date, time slot confirmed 2 days before
- On the second delivery day itself the order then disappeared from the Knowhow portal
- Again I had to desperately chase up to find out (having rearranged whole Dayton wait for it) to be told item was now out of stock for 3 weeks apparently and no delivery was showing in their system!
- Almost too dumbstruck with disbelief at the unprofessional farce Curry's has become. The company is an utterly rotten, failing and badly run mess.
- I cancelled the order and went through John Lewis happily paying more for a decent service and a guarantee slot - the stress, uncertainty and frustration of dealing with Curry's and Team KnowNothing are not worth it nor was the energy of even complaining - the sooner this company goes bust and their employees banned from working in any service role (make that any job) the better.

I bought a hotpoint washing machine and I have had it repaired 6 times in 6 months for the same fault.
The customer service helpline is terrible as they pass you onto different departments just to book in an engineer. The engineer has replaced a different part every time and the machine is still leaking!
I've paid a plan for 6 years now and it is cheaper to buy a new machine than pay for the plan!

terms and conditions of the plan

WORST service ever! Have taken my money for years without giving any support or advice. I have NEVER been able to use the service properly... tried to download... it takes ages... then downloads incomplete and extremely slow to load... etc. Difficult to use and when I call to claim & cancel they just respond with " well we can cancel it immediately but you loose on the year of service and our policy is NO refunds under any circumstances"!
Beware! Awful, very poor service and platform

I would give them ZERO stars if I could. Waited three weeks for range oven from Curry's. The moment the two guys turned up they couldn't be bothered to even try and get in the house because it was a basement and the stairs are tricky. I made various suggestions and they just weren't interested. Called their office and their manager said drop it at doorstep or cancel. I had paid for installation and removal of old range.

They should be called TEAM KNOWNOTHING.

Now have the hassle of getting my money back from Currys!

I insured my TV with this company 4 months ago. I asked 5 times what I need so that my insurance includes breaking the screen, because I have 4 children. I bought a TV for £ 2,400. The seller told me every time that your insurance includes breaking the screen. I was sure that I was paying for what I ordered. On March 13,2021, my child accidentally hit the screen with a toy and the screen turned black and gave a color stripe, we brought the TV to Currys in the city of Corby and they pointed our finger at the contract that damages are not included in this insurance. How does this happen? They lie to us that the insurance includes all accidental damage, and in the contract when paying, they write that this is not there. This is not very good and not fair. I have been a regular customer of Carrys and TeamKnowKnow for 8 years. I will never use their services again. There are many other companies that are more honest

Have tried for days to contact know how for a repair to dryer. Nobody answers phones. Been on the phone each time for at least 35 to 45 minutes. Absolutely shocking. But they will take your cover money no problem. Actually wasted so much time on phone waiting I give up

I have now been without my fridge for 6weeks. There policy is to replace if it cannot be fixed in 7days. Its been 6weeks now and am still having trouble. I have been on the phone on hold for over 5.5 hours and today was 1hr 10mins they cut me off before I could speak to any one. Am fuming the stress I have suffered is not worth paying for their insurance. I have to try ringing them again today I know it will be a wait of over 45 mins as normal. Do your self a Hugh favour and don't bother with teamknow
How Insurance. Waste of space and time.

Stopped 4 doors up, threw the fridge freezer off the van, witnessed by a neighbour, saw they were being observed, started to take better care, alas too late freezer door huge dent in it, this is after waiting 2 weeks because the first week they lost it, opened it up to find all shelves broken, needless to say it's going back, have to wait for refund, bit odd really because i didn't have to wait to pay, the country is facing the worst crisis it has ever faced and a recession, so to waste money like this is criminal really when its just as easy to do the job with care
