I phoned Direct Line just now to update some details on my car insurance.
After waiting on hold for 23minutes my call was just answered with "Hello caller, opening hours are Monday to Saturday 9-5 and Sunday 10-5. Please call back between those hours. Thank you" and then the call was released. This was not a recorded message, but someone answered the phone and simply made this statement before hanging up.
Given that I made the call at 4:40pm, and was connected to an operator at 5:03pm i think this is incredibly poor customer service :td: They should either make staff stay on until the queue is cleared, or close the lines earlier so the staff can clear the queue, or perhaps a combination of both. Not very impressed with this service.
