"We contribute so much to society, so it’s a kick in the teeth to be treated with so much disregard. As a society, we must all do better. Together, we won’t let disabled people be forgotten.” Important blog post from @LostVoiceGuy https://www.scope.org.uk/news-and-stories/lee-ridley-wwbf/
Thanks for the response. Please try to make it clearer in future. I'll DM you regarding my account.
@LostVoiceGuy Hi Lee, I'm so sorry, we have a number of communication channels available for our customers but it appears these were not outlined here. Please can I ask was this an email or a letter that we sent you? Can we help you with anything regarding your tariff change? Thanks, Leigh
It's such a common issue that it's unbelievable that it still happens!
@LostVoiceGuy @ScottishPower It's the same being deaf, you email them and they give you a list of numbers to call. You explain you are deaf and you cannot use the phone, and then you receive another list of numbers.
EDF and SKY are brilliant at this......(!)
A great blog from @LostVoiceGuy for @scope on the impact of Covid on disabled people "We were more concerned about pub closing times than we are about trying to help the vulnerable people in society" https://www.scope.org.uk/news-and-stories/lee-ridley-wwbf/
Hi @scottishpower, it's 2020, can you make your service more accessible for people with communication difficulties or other similar problems please? Otherwise I'll be changing supplier out of principle. Thanks.
