once again Bg salesmen /engineers strike again as my parents both disabled are being pressurised by BG to get their system flushed even though the system was done 3 yrs ago
No proof ie sample or test was done to prove the neccesity of this other than the said engineer saying he got black water out of a rad funny thing no sample to view
Now these blackmailers are now refusing to but 3yr old rads on to the homecare system until they do a flush at as you can imagine BG prices!!!
 
if BG flushed it the first time then they have to do a reflush as they give a life time guarentee


macca
 
no this BG trying it on what will they say needs doing next year mmm this pipes being in for six months it needs changing where will the line be drawn !!
 
maybe office of fair trading can give advise as parents disabled? regards turnpin
 
if BG did the test properly ie take samples etc then proved it did need flushing then fair enough but not by just hearsay with no proof
Hell ive being to the moon ,well wheres the proof ,proof who needs that!
 
BG seem to be doing this a lot now,there new business plan,threatening to remove customers from plans ,if they do not have this or that done

Seems strange,customers go for it,they sign up for affordable payment schemes ,so they don't get hit with big bills,that they probably will not get anyway and then on top of the monthly payment,forced to fork out hundreds if not thousands of ÂŁ's on unnecessary repairs and boiler replacements,the very thing they are trying to avoid by being in a monthly payment scheme :(:(:(


Nice work if you can get it !!:rolleyes:


imho

I do the same thing or if they are on a tight budget,tell them to get a family and friend club going put all funds in,amount builds up faster to cover any initial breakdown and they can have a big family party every few years:)
Do like a good party,well to be honest,like the drink at the party more :D:rolleyes:
 
yes well not this time ive being to kamco done flushing training and will ask for chemical proof that it needs to be done if it does will not start the scheme until i do it myself for NOTHING!!
