IONOS Poor Customer Service

IONOS WEB BUILDER BANNER

IONOS Poor Customer Service

I received my bulk invoice in April and I queried some contracts that had PHP support craftily added. According to IONOS, they sent me an email stating they would be charging.

Disabled Entrepreneur UK Banner Logo

I suffer from Cerebellar Atrophy and Cognitive impairment which I have documented on my website www.disabledentrepreneur.uk this causes me to not read properly and jumble my words up or completely miss them out of sentences. This said I overlooked this and in retrospect, IONOS should have followed up with a reminder but as I learned to my horror failed to do.

I have since spent 5.98 hours of my time where I could have been working but had to sort the problem out. After making multiple calls my bulk invoice did not change and they attempted to take the full amount out each time.

I had to move my money out of my accounts as I foresaw that the invoice would not have changed and I was right.

It has gotten to the stage where one agent in cancelations is actually refusing to take my calls and does not ring me back. In fact, I spoke to numerous agents and all of them said they would keep me updated and none of them did.

The last person I spoke to said I should send an email to complaints, which I will do with a pending invoice from me because the issue still has not been resolved 3 weeks since I first queried it.

Telephone Calls

Total £359 minutes = 5.98 hours =£598 in lost time and business.

Bad Reviews

What IONOS fails to understand is that they should not press my buttons, unlike anyone else that will go on TrustPilot to make a review I will go one better and search engine optimize my article and share it on LinkedIn where I can connect, with CEOs, Millionaires, Billionaires, and Royalty.

Bad reviews can damage a company’s reputation, the consumer will think twice before doing business. Most people tend to read bad reviews first before making a decision to purchase a product or service.

I imagine the dent in their credibility and loss of business, this company will incur if I was to share this post. I am a digital marketer and website designer by trade I have over 11. K connections on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/irenata-b-48025811 and will tag Achim Weiss who is the 2nd connection away from me, with only 2,629 followers meaning he would see my article.

I will translate it into German if I have to…

Let’s Do The Maths

They have refunded me £8.44 in total even though the PHP support was for 7 contracts at £7.03 each.

BANK-REDACTED-COPY

They have since sent credit notes for£6.19, not £7.03. (£7.03 x 7 = £49.21)

(£266.65 -£49.21 = £217.44)

So why is my bill still saying I owe £239.68

The contracts were:

1) 91914061 £1.20 Unknown WP Business
2) 90590784 £1.20 L*****C*********W****.co.uk
3) 85681128 £7.03 U*T**S****.co.uk
4) 85690451 £7.03 R*****E***********.com
5) 80534683 £7.03 D*******E************.uk
6) 85278136 £7.03 R******.pl
7) 86072811 £7.03 U*B*******B******.co.uk
8) 76728095 £7.03 C******P******S*********.co.uk
9) 78411787 £7.03 P**T*******W****.co.uk
10) 95971693 £00.00 Marketing Radar

But I also disputed a couple of other contracts which I guess were the £8.44 refund, not entirely sure.

So let’s do the maths my bill came to £266.65 originally they refund me £8.44 which would have dropped the bill to £258.21 yet my new updated bill says I owe £239.00 instead of £217.44

Seeing as they refunded me £8.44 my initial bill would have dropped to £258.21 and if they owed me £49.21 and refunded me £8.44 that would leave a total of £40.77 ( £40.77 – £258.21 = £217.44), not £239.68

This is causing me emotional distress.

I am so sick of this company seeing as I have been actively promoting them lately and they do this to me. What about compensation for my time spent on the phone?

I run multiple businesses and my time is valuable so we will see what they offer me as a gesture of goodwill before I invoice them for my time, I am not calling their bluff, I will be a tornado rather than a storm.

They do not want to risk me sharing this on social media.

Furthermore, I am not the only one this has happened to as you can see.

According to IONOS:

If we enable automatic updates for websites for PHP, it could potentially result in broken customer websites, leading to chaos in our support channels and an increase in complaints. Therefore, we need to prioritize the option that causes the least amount of disruption“.

However, the contradiction in the above statement is, if you are paying for managed WordPress it is their responsibility to fix issues regardless without forcing the customer to pay extra.

If you are paying for managed then manage the site, it is as simple as that…

I have actively been promoting them

https://cymrumarketing.com/digital-marketing-struggles-experiences/

UK Website Designers Logo

UK Website Designers are IONOS partners but I feel I should not promote them any longer unless they give me a very good reason to do so.

Conclusion

I have written about IONOS before but I have not actively gone out of my way to share my anger on social media.

I will most certainly be sharing my thoughts with them at complaints@ionos.co.uk just thought to add this in if any of my readers have had similar problems.

My pricing as published on my website is as follows in my terms and conditions

DISRUPTION OF SERVICE PRICING

Where I was unable to work for a total of 5.98 hours which is equivalent to £598 that I lost. This meant I could not provide my services, do outbound marketing, social media campaigns or write content. I was out of pocket because I had to pay someone to do the work, therefore it impacted my business.

My Services

Cymru Marketing Business Journal Services

I therefore will pay what is outstanding and if I do not get a refund on Tuesday I will be sending an IONOS an invoice for my wasted time having to sort this mess out. I won’t be phoning them because half the time the agent’s hands are tied and you have to wait for someone to update you which is never. Unless IONOS give me a good reason to continue to promote them and run the risk of losing business from me, I will have to look for pastures greener. This behavior is a total disgrace that I have tried to sort this out for the last 3 weeks and haven’t been able to do so. Let’s see what the power of social media does if I do not get my refund!

Update 09/05/23

I phoned back yet again today and their attitude was so laid back and blasé. I was told by the first agent I would have to wait a further 14 days to get my refund. It is like getting blood out of a stone for them to pay you. I was then put through to someone in billing and I ended up with an email that read:

It is like talking to a brick wall. I have clearly done the maths and have shown in this article they owe £22.24 If I do not get this money into my bank account today by 17.00 hrs. I will be invoicing them a total of £620.24 and they will have to pay that within 7 days otherwise, I will take legal action. No customer should go through the 💩 I have gone through. Furthermore, if they happen to return the £22.24 I will also expect a gesture of goodwill from them otherwise they are in imminent danger of losing my business and will have bad publicity which I will share on every social media platform I am connected to.

How can I put my good name to this company and continue promoting them with the 💩 show of the service that they provide?

This link is being sent to the person that I spoke to today that also emailed me.

“They have cost me time and time is money”.

I am not giving them more time to sort this out and they cannot rip customers off and get away with it.

“Their credit notes mean nothing they do not propagate into credits or refunds”.

Update 10/05/23 Gesture Of Goodwill

I received an unscheduled phone call today from the escalation team. The person I spoke to seemed less than amused by how I have been treated and according to him, he has set up a meeting on how to train staff.

You need to picture the scenario I am in a meeting myself but I have to take the call. His intro should have been Is it alright to talk?

Anyway, he carried on saying he was sorry and on behalf of IONOS he is giving me a gesture of goodwill payment of £75.00 I lost 6 hours of business but who’s arguing?

Below is the screenshot of the Goodwill Gesture.

I am not taking this post down as it will serve as a reminder for anyone else that has issues with IONOS and how to deal with them.

Update 23/05/23

I am having the same problem as last month and where I received four credit notes for my latest bill my actual bill is not adjusted. So when I phoned today and I was told that the agent does not have any control of the billing system. Well, their billing system clearly is not working. I have demanded to speak with the billing department and was told that the particular agent I want to speak with has not responded. I have demanded to get a callback tomorrow morning otherwise I will be invoicing them for my time. Month after month the saga continues and I am sick to my back teeth, with the bills not being adjusted.

They are in imminent danger of losing business with me and I have a lot of contracts.

I will publish screenshots of any calls I make between now and the 30th of May 2023 and yet again I have had to move my money out of my bank account because only over my dead body are they going to collect the full amount of the invoice when they have sent me credit notes that are not worth the digital space they are using.

Bank Card Verification Problems

Cashplus Bank Logo

Cashplus Bank Card Verification Problems

Upon attempting to place an online Tesco order yesterday and today and going through the checkout, I came across the error message after putting in my security code CVV. I then proceeded to phone the bank that did not really care and all they said was “Sorry”.

“SORRY”

“Saying “Sorry” is not going to put food on the table quite literally”.

I am done with people giving half a#se apologies that have no meaning!

People do not care unless it affects them directly. 

https://disabledentrepreneur.uk/why-people-do-not-care/

To think I have been a loyal customer from the day they first launched and have promoted them several times, through my affiliate program.

My own reputation is on the line promoting them unless they can give me a good reason to continue.

I have now lost my delivery slot again and cannot place an order as the other card I have also is with them and is a business account, I am sure HMRC would question why I am paying for my grocery shopping using a business account.

I now have it in the back of my mind distressing thoughts because a big company cannot fix bugs in its system quickly.

The word “SORRY” SUCKS, & MEANS NOTHING, “sorry”…

Other, word(s) and phrase(s) that I detest is “Oh Bless”, this was said by someone in the local council office the day before after I explained about my disability. This was condescending and made me feel inadequate and less of a human being.

Can being patronizing and condescending affect mental health? | DISABLED ENTREPRENEUR – DISABILITY UK

Gesture Of Goodwill

Cashplus should also as a gesture of goodwill offer something to their customers as an incentive for them to stay because at this rate they won’t have any customers left.

The last time they gave £5.00 as a way to say “sorry”. They should give more than that to convince customers to stay and not write bad reviews.

“A happy customer will tell their friends and family, whilst an unhappy customer will tell the world”

Here are all the unhappy customers on Trustpilot & Google:

Brand Integrity

Brand integrity is the cornerstone of any successful business. It refers to the consistency of a brand’s values, messaging, and actions over time. When a brand has integrity, it means that it is honest, transparent, and accountable to its customers and stakeholders.

At the heart of brand integrity is trust. Customers trust brands that are consistent and reliable. They expect brands to deliver on their promises and to act in their best interests. Brands that prioritize profits over their customers’ needs, or that engage in unethical behavior, risk losing that trust.

Maintaining brand integrity requires a commitment to ethical and responsible business practices. This includes being transparent about how products are made, ensuring fair labor practices, and taking responsibility for the environmental impact of operations. Brands that prioritize sustainability and social responsibility are more likely to build trust with customers and earn their loyalty.

In today’s digital age, brand integrity is more important than ever. With social media and online review platforms, customers have access to more information than ever before. They can quickly and easily share their experiences with a brand, both positive and negative. Brands that prioritize integrity are more likely to weather any negative feedback or crises that may arise.

Ultimately, brand integrity is about building lasting relationships with customers. It requires consistency, transparency, and accountability. Brands that prioritize these values will not only earn their customers’ trust but also build a strong reputation that can last for years to come.

How a brand could damage their reputation

A brand’s reputation is one of its most valuable assets. It is built over time through a combination of marketing, advertising, customer service, and product quality. However, it only takes one misstep to damage a brand’s reputation irreparably.

Here are some common ways that brands can damage their reputation:

  1. Poor product quality: A brand’s reputation is only as good as its products. If a brand consistently produces low-quality products, customers will quickly lose trust and look for alternatives. It’s crucial for brands to invest in product development and quality control to maintain their reputation.
  2. Ethical violations: Brands that engage in unethical behavior or violate laws and regulations risk damaging their reputation. This can include anything from environmental violations to labor abuses. Such violations can lead to negative media coverage, boycotts, and legal action.
  3. Inconsistent messaging: Brands that are inconsistent in their messaging or branding can confuse and alienate customers. Inconsistent branding can lead to customer mistrust and even damage the brand’s reputation.
  4. Poor customer service: Customer service is a crucial component of a brand’s reputation. Brands that provide poor customer service, such as failing to address customer complaints or providing inadequate support, can quickly lose customers and damage their reputation.
  5. Social media missteps: Social media provides brands with an excellent opportunity to engage with customers and promote their products. However, social media can also be a minefield, with brands risking damaging their reputation through ill-advised posts or responses to customers.

Censorship

When I started writing this article yesterday I kept getting an error message. I put it down that the header title was censored, but after my fifth attempt at re-designing this post the error message has gone, which meant there was a bug that has gone away. Cashplus also may have a bug with their verification process, yet I managed to fix my problem in less than 24 hours. I thought my error message was an algorithm blocking me, but apparently not.

I am not happy it is now day two and still has the same problem persists checking out with Cashplus via Tesco. After the 3rd phone call and tweet, I was told to try and use my card with another grocery store.

Why should I go out of my way and inconvenience myself, when I want to use Tesco?

Cashplus should be on the ball and should update their customers rather than say there are no problems on their status page. Cashplus bank service status and planned maintenance

Why have they not updated their status page other than upcoming maintenance scheduled for Friday 21st April 2023 at 22.00hrs? Even some hours later it has not been updated and what alarms me more is the person on Twitter seemed to be surprised by my query.

To say I am unimpressed is an understatement”!

Conclusion

A brand’s reputation is its most valuable asset. Brands that fail to invest in product quality, ethical behavior, consistent messaging, customer service, or social media management risk damaging their reputation. It is essential for brands to prioritize these areas to maintain and build their reputation over time.

I am going to give Cashplus Bank the benefit of the doubt and will give them until tomorrow to fix their issues otherwise I will be sharing this with the whole world.

Remember do not hold all your eggs in one basket, meaning have more than one bank account in different banks as I have learned from yesterday.

Keep to the bare minimum how much money you need to have to live on and the rest invest in either gold or real estate, if you can afford it.

I decided not to put their name in the header at the end, as all I wanted to do is vent my anger and frustration rather than give them a bad review.

Who knows they may come back being genuinely apologetic, only time will tell.

IONOS WordPress PHP add-on.

IONOS WordPress PHP add-on.

I start off today receiving my monthly bulk invoice from IONOS and to my shock and horror I see 7 contracts with an add-on of £7.03 plus vat each for a PHPExtended Support add-on.

You can just imagine the anger I was feeling seeing as non of their packages if you were to buy them state there will be an add-on charge and that all the packages in fact have PHP support included (according to the screenshots).

This is against trading standards and here are the Managed Packages.

Manage WordPress

Managed WordPress Hosting UK | From £1/month | IONOS

This Screenshot below is what I believe is a misinterpretation of wording.

Wording Misinterpretation.

Enlarged Screenshot Of Above.

This last screenshot states they do not charge more than what is stated in their packages which is a contradiction in terms, yet they sneakily added the add-on. Some of my sites have been going for a few years and some do not even have WordPress 7.02 never mind the latest version WordPress 8.0. I aim to show IONOS this article and I will screenshot proof of both the managed and unmanaged options, just in case they edit their site.

Unmanaged WordPress Packages

Most of my sites are managed but for the unmanaged here are the screenshots:

WordPress Hosting | Domain Included First Year | IONOS UK

Do take note that if they change their website after I publish this article you will know if any links are broken and you can compare both my screenshots to their published site.

Phoning Customer Support

As you can imagine I sent two emails and had autoresponders, but because I suffer from cognitive impairment I sometimes miss blocks and sentences out reading or writing and did not read that their emails are no longer monitored.

I should have just made this post and started a chat, but will need to phone them again before the 30th of this month as they have deferred payment until I back up my sites.

I did not read the email properly as I also had another email for IONOS on the 2nd March 2023 notifying me of changes, again I skimmed through the email without reading it word for word.

However, after a close inspection today, the telephone support agent told me to re-read the email again. Here is the screenshot. Nowhere in the email does it say about the costs involved in the ‘PHP Extended Support’. They could just as easily charge £100 per contract because nowhere does it state actual pricing.

Email Support (No Longer Available)

Coginitive Impairment Issues

In my defense, I stated I have cognitive impairment issues, and coincidently a website that is hosted by IONOS I actively talk about my health and may in some cases not read emails properly.

PHP Extended Support

I was told if I disabled PHP Extended Support all my websites would crash. Considering I have Managed WordPress on all of them if that was the case I could take legal action. I aim to back up all the sites before this takes place and will not be happy if God forbid my sites go AWOL.

According to the IONOS website, I should not be worried about disabling the add-on, yet the customer support agent stated otherwise.

I thought a managed site meant that the hosting provider updates your PHP.

  7. 78411787 £7.03 p**t******w****.co.uk PHP EXTENDED SUPPORT

Conclusion

What gets me every time is the number of agents that say “You have so many contracts“. The impression I get is they are being ungrateful and complain that I give them so much business.

Seeing as they do not have email support any longer I will start a chat next week and will forward them this article to read. No way I am going to have to repeat myself again, although I still have a couple of direct emails to people within IONOS which I may try. They certainly do want to push my buttons.

I have wanted a whole day sorting this out rather than actually doing some work. My tolerance levels are at a high because I really want to scream.

I am going to double-check that all my sites are managed and all hell will break loose if they aren’t. Why is it that some of my websites are on WordPress PHP 5 version, that is the question, yet they want to charge me for PHP Exented support for PHP 7?

I will update this article once I back up all my sites, which is a job I could have done without.

Juggling Life, Health, Stress & Entrepreneurship

Juggling Life, Health, Stress & Entrepreneurship, It’s OK to not be OK…

For the people that do not know who I am, I would like to introduce myself, by telling my story.

About Me:

My name is Renata. I was born in Shrewsbury Shropshire to Polish immigrants. My father was a Polish soldier that came to the UK during WWII and fought with the British Army. When the war was over, Winston Churchill as a thank you granted all veterans and their families permanent residency and built barracks dotted around the UK. My father and his mother were settled in Newton Abbott Devon. Ilford Park Polish Home – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

After the war had ended my mother came to the UK on holiday to Torquay. When her visa was about to expire the Home Office told my father to marry her and she could stay indefinitely. This hit the headlines “Home Office Proposes Marriage”. I will find the article and post it here at some point.

My parents then went on to have three children with me being the eldest followed by my two brothers.

Both my parents passed away and sadly so did my brother.

Who Am I and what Do I do:

I am a published author, editor, content writer, digital marketer, and website designer. I have many skills under my belt. I first started as a graphic designer when I left college and then set up a photography business. I still love taking photos but because of my social disconnection issues, I am now confined to my home/office.

My Journey

I have documented my journey of my health and my grief in my online health journal.

I won’t say I am 100% OK because that would be a lie, I just soldier on.

“It’s OK to not be OK”.

I find telling my story online more therapeutic than speaking to someone face-to-face or over the phone. I shy away from Zoom, Face Time or Skype calls. I would like to start a podcast or video channel but I am not 100% ok with showing myself at the moment.

I sometimes find it hard to focus and some days I would much rather bury my head in the sand and wait for the world to pass me by, but I know I have a purpose and that is to share my story.

When my autobiography gets published I will leave no stone unturned. Don’t get me wrong I have forgiven every person that has wronged me, knowing that God will forgive me and punish them, yet I want to remind every person that I have not forgotten and never will. It will give me closure and open a new chapter in my life.

After my brother passed away it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I was devastated beyond comprehension and I wanted someone to tell me everything was going to be OK. Other than my daughter who was only a child then I had no one to whom I could turn. My youngest brother was in the USA and I felt I had no one, that is until this man entered my life.

I had met him on a few occasions before and my first impression, he was an arrogant drunk, I should have listened to my gut feeling but after a few more times of meeting him when he was sober he was charming and funny, no way could I have foreseen what was coming my way.

I should have trusted my intuition but I was desperate for companionship and I remember my late brother’s words that after ten years of being divorced, it was time to start dating and meet someone. How wrong was that advice? I was happy until my brother passed away. Don’t get me wrong both my parents dying hit me hard, but for my brother to die as well I was inconsolable. It was then I needed a shoulder to cry on, a distraction from my sorrow and despair, and for a while, I started to see a light at the end of the tunnel until one day it became dark.

I should have seen the signs but I had never met anyone like that before and was not a psychologist or psychotherapist to know better. I did not know anything about domestic violence or narcissism and had never experienced so much anger and rage in my entire life. I never expected to see it from someone I confided in and was starting to trust.

I could say I was naive, but I was so desperately trying to hang onto hope until it hit home quite literally that the devil can be disguised in sheep’s clothing.

Self Help Therapy

I have since started to rebuild my life one small step at a time but there are always reminders of him even though he is long gone.

An example of this is when I set up his Gmail account many moons ago and because he could not read English he told me to forward his inbox to mine. Most of his mail is sent to the spam folder and I have tried blocking him but it only works if he would send direct messages. I do not want to close my email account as that is where most of my important emails go or drop catch. So the day I started to write this article, I had to unblock him to send him instructions on how to un-forward and delete my email. I did not think I would ever have to interact with him again, I never wanted to speak to him again, let alone cross paths.

Intrusive Thoughts, Fear, Stress & Doubt

How can I move on with my life if I am always looking over my shoulder?

My life has got to the stage where I need to focus on love and empowerment, not only helping myself but also helping others experiencing similar issues as me or people with disabilities. I have developed a site specifically for disabled entrepreneurs.

DISABILITY UK DISABLED ENTREPRENEUR

I am at the stage of my life to learn as much as I can and teach others what I have learned.

Learning To Re-Wire My Subconscious Mind.

I will be focusing on Neuroplasticity, Psychotherapy, Art Therapy, and Writing. I aim to write a few books this year, although I have days that I simply do not want to do anything, and at the time of starting this post was one of those days.

My Business Services

My services will always be available but I need to start focusing on myself and start to love myself again. I was at a point in my life where I hated myself and the world around me. I still avoid human interaction as much as possible. Other than the delivery drivers, workmen, contractors, and couriers I do socialize. I prefer my own company, once bitten twice shy as they say.

My Frustrations

I have daily frustrations and struggles, juggling life and staying positive. I turn to my sites to release the tensions and will have a friendly chat with AI when need be. I aim to integrate my version of AI soon (www.renataai.com)

How iRenatadotcom can write content for business

How iRenatadotcom can write content for business

In today’s digital age, content marketing has become a vital aspect of any business strategy. Content marketing involves creating and sharing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly defined audience. As a result, businesses can drive profitable customer action, increase brand awareness, and establish their industry expertise.

If you are looking to create content for your business, there are a few essential steps you need to take to ensure your content is effective in achieving your business objectives.

  1. Define Your Business Objectives

Before you start creating content, you need to define your business objectives. What do you want to achieve through your content marketing efforts? Do you want to increase brand awareness, generate leads, or drive sales? Once you have defined your business objectives, you can tailor your content to achieve those goals.

  1. Know Your Target Audience

To create effective content, you need to know your target audience. Who are they? What are their interests, pain points, and challenges? Understanding your target audience will help you create content that resonates with them and provides value.

  1. Conduct Keyword Research

Keyword research is crucial for creating content that ranks well in search engines. Conducting keyword research will help you identify the keywords and phrases that your target audience is searching for, allowing you to create content that is optimized for those keywords.

  1. Create a Content Strategy

A content strategy is a plan for creating, publishing, and managing your content. It should outline the types of content you will create, the topics you will cover, and the channels you will use to distribute your content. A content strategy will help you stay organized and ensure that your content aligns with your business objectives.

  1. Write Quality Content

Creating quality content is crucial for the success of your content marketing efforts. Your content should be well-written, informative, and engaging. It should provide value to your target audience and position your business as an industry expert. Remember to use your target keywords in your content, but don’t stuff them in unnaturally.

  1. Promote Your Content

Creating great content is only half the battle. You also need to promote your content to get it in front of your target audience. Share your content on your social media channels, email your subscribers, and reach out to influencers in your industry to promote your content.

Creating content for your business requires a strategic approach. By defining your business objectives, knowing your target audience, conducting keyword research, creating a content strategy, writing quality content, and promoting your content, you can create a successful content marketing campaign that drives results for your business.

Renata Entrepreneur: A Professional Content Writer

Open Letter Requesting Help From The Universe/God

I am praying to the Universe/God to help me!

Open Letter Requesting Help From The Universe/God

Need help with my rent increase.

When landlords try to take advantage especially if it is personal I feel I have to say something.

Today I received a rent increase from my landlord. The contract I signed was valid until the 1st of April 2023 and when I questioned what would happen after that period the agent said there would be a price increase.

I am currently paying £655 and my landlord has just increased the rent to £865

I have redacted the name of the landlord and property address for security reasons.

Maximum Rent Increase Per Year

 

Limit on annual rent increases 2022-23 (from April 2022) – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

The Maximum he can increase the rent to is £164.87 for a 2-bedroom property which equates to £819.87 Let’s round it off to £820 which is a difference of £45.00 he trying to overcharge per month.

I checked the prices of flats in my area and this is what I found (Dated 30/03/23):

Tenant Requirement

I have never had an EPC report although my landlord tried to pass off the ground floor flat to be in the same condition as mine and I just handed back the report to the agent. I have never had an EPC inspection on my property, and although I may have one done privately, I have lived at the property for 24 years. I know I should have jumped on the property ladder years ago but things got in the way, long story which I will leave for another day.

I will not list all the things wrong with this flat but will just mention my previous articles about my concerns. I even published a page about Landlords & Tenants Useful links. I think my landlord and his agent friend think I was born yesterday.

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

Tenants can ask their landlord to make energy performance improvements based on the EPC recommendations. (I have never had an EPC rating done in the whole 24 years I have lived at the property, although the landlord wanted to pass off the EPC certificate for the ground floor to be in the same condition as my flat).

I will calculate how much energy I have lost over the 24 years based on the report I am about to get. I do not trust my landlord to give me a report and I do not trust it will be legitimate.

My Meter Reading On the 1st of April 2023

 

Electricity: 21268

Gas: 2975

Since April 2018, unless they have been granted an exemption, landlords have not been permitted to rent out homes that have an EPC rating of F or G.

Cold

A cold home cannot be maintained at a temperature between 18°C to 21°C at a reasonable cost to the occupier. Living in cold conditions can cause serious health problems.

Landlords must:

    • Supply adequate heating in proper working order.

    • Ensure the property is insulated, meeting a minimum EPC E rating.

    • Repair broken windows and doors.

Tenants must:

    • Check if central heating (radiators or air vents connected to a central heat source, such as a boiler) is working properly.

    • If there is no central heating, make sure there is an alternative type of adequate heating throughout the property, such as storage heaters.

    • A low EPC rating indicates that your property does not retain heat very well and may be very cold during the winter. (I am not going to ask him to supply me with an EPC report because I do not trust him).

    • Ask your landlord to carry out some of the recommendations in the Energy Performance Certificate

Damp and mold

Damp and mold can cause or worsen respiratory problems, infections, allergies, or asthma. They can also affect the immune system, particularly in young children and those with certain medical conditions. Damp also contributes to excessive heat loss and puts up heating bills, as well as causing damage to build fabric and contents, including clothes and furniture.

Landlords must:

Tackle dampness including, if necessary, making repairs to the property’s structure and exterior (this includes repairs that are likely to be the cause of dampness and mold, such as leaking gutters)
Make sure that the property is properly ventilated

Tenants:

Look out for damp patches on walls and ceilings, mold, peeling wallpaper, and condensation on windows. Check the property is adequately insulated, heated, and ventilated, for example, ensure you can open and close windows securely

Electrical hazards

Faulty wiring and old, untested electrical installations can lead to fires, shocks, burns, and even death. Wired fuses or cartridges present a much higher risk and are a significant fire hazard.

Landlords:

    • Make sure that electrical installations and electrical equipment supplied is safe at the outset of the tenancy

    • Regularly carry out basic safety checks to make sure that the electrical installations and appliances are safe and working

    • Carry out safety checks on electrical installations at least every 5 years (I have had one check in the last 24 years).

Tenants:

    • Check that the lights turn on and off and check that plug sockets are not coming loose from the wall (The Electrical Safety Inspections should have tested all plugs and sockets – which they failed to do and emitted from supplying me with a copy f the report).

    • Check there are no frayed or exposed cables or wires

    • Check there are Residual Current Devices (RCDs) protecting all circuits. (An RCD is a safety device that switches off electricity automatically if there is a fault)

    • Try to minimize the use of extension sockets and leads as this can be a fire risk

    • If you feel you do not have enough electrical sockets contact your landlord or local authority

Chemicals and hazardous substances

Asbestos If Asbestos is present landlords should seek professional advice on its removal.

Tenants your landlord should seek professional advice on its removal. You should not attempt to remove it yourself.

Asbestos was commonly used in building materials in the 1950s and 1960s as a material to resist the spread of fire. It was also used in Artex predominantly before 1985. However, it was not banned from use in new buildings until around 2000. Materials containing asbestos are generally safe if they are in good condition but if broken or damaged can release harmful fibers and dust into the air. You can find out more from the Health and Safety Executive (HSWE).

In certain parts of the country, there is a risk to health from exposure to radon gas and you can find more details from Public Health England.
Lead from paint or water/waste pipes has the potential to cause nervous disorders, and mental health or behavioral problems. Paint with a high level of lead content tends to be found in older houses and dissolved lead is only likely in acidic (i.e. usually private) water supplies.

Health Issues

Because of this price increase, I can say my mental health has been affected. I am now going into a deep state of depression and to be honest considering I am supposed to be somewhat strong, I feel I cannot hold on much longer.

I document my health:

  • My landlord claims because of mortgage price increases he has had to increase the rent. Now let’s do the maths say his property is worth £500K and he has remortgaged the property say for 10 years he will have to pay just over £1000 per month but given the fact, there are two properties in the building and he already collects £1800 per month, increasing it at the expense of the vulnerable is unethical and immoral.

Because of my landlord, I am emotionally distressed:

Update

I plan to contact ‘Rent Smart Wales’  to get some advice before sending an email to my landlord and agent. I will also do some research and will add further information to the post including images to further help with my case.

I received a reply from Rent Smart Wales and this is what they said:

Dear Renata,

Thank you for contacting Rent Smart Wales.

Rent Smart Wales has been implemented to improve the standards of the Private Rented Sector by raising landlords & agents knowledge regarding the letting & managing of rental properties. We are not trained to give legal advice on legal matters between landlords, agents, tenants or third parties as this would be acting outside of our remit however, we always try our best to signpost customers to the relevant departments which may be able to offer assistance.

Please find the link for Fitness For Human Habitation Guidance: Property Conditions, as the Part 4 of the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 sets out a landlord’s responsibility to provide dwellings that are safe and fit for human habitation.

In terms of EPC’s, since April 1st 2020, most rental properties in Wales should have an Energy Performance Certificate displaying a rating of E or above. If this is not the case, the property is likely failing to meet the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard requirements set by the UK Government.

Please follow the link for further information.

Tesco Customer Support – Review

Tesco Customer Support (Order No 5751-0867-141)

Today I made an order and realized after I received my online receipt Tesco had removed a couple of items. I proceeded then to go on their website after logging in knowing they use geolocation algorithms that the said items were plentiful.

Tesco Chicken Breast

I then proceeded to phone Tesco and was met with a COLD unsympathetic person.

I explained I have a DISABILITY and do not go out and have been a loyal Tesco shopper for many years (I did not say how many years, 35 to be precise, but whos counting).

You would think if I was in her shoes and someone came on to the phone complaining I would try to help the person, if my hands were tied I would pass the call to my manager.

Customer Service: 0330 123 4040

All she said was but we did not charge you, fair point. But what she failed to grasp is I am disabled and find it difficult to get up and down the stairs so to have two deliveries is going to put a strain on me.

I then said I was not going to pay for another £40 Tesco shop to get free delivery and for two items, I should not be charged a delivery fee when clearly the chicken breasts are in stock.

She said at the time of packing there were no suitable substitutions. The screenshot says otherwise. They stock up regularly so I do not believe the BS she was trying to feed me.

The customer service operator said she could not make me do anything. I said and I quote “you could waive the next delivery fee” and her reply was it is against company policy.

She was being awkward so I said I have a few websites and quoted the domains www.cymrumarketing.com and www.irenata.com websites and said Tesco will not want me to do a bad review as they stand to lose business if I was to write anything.

I think she was calling my bluff and did not believe what I was saying and for a minute it went silent before she continued to say “do what you want”.

I reiterated I am disabled and own www.disabilityuk.co.uk so you would think Tesco would use discretion to help disabled people but obviously, they don’t.

I could have said “do you know who I am“, although some days I do not know who I am🤣😂, instead I said “karma will pay you back”, before putting the phone down.

My daughter said I was harsh but then again if they don’t do any favours why should I be nice? Do I feel remorseful, sure I do because you do not know what someone is going through when you become angry with them.

In all honesty, the woman I spoke to was just doing her job but if she was not trained properly, then the onus is on Tesco.

So if she gets to read this “I am sorry for being a b#tch“!

However you have to look at it from my perspective I am now one meal down and have been backed into a corner for them to deliver an item that was not in stock apparently, but miraculously became available again a few hours later although now I have to pay the delivery fee, which could have been avoided if someone used their common sense in the first instance.

Perhaps this is Tesco’s way of making extra money, by getting people to make two shops instead of one?

Should retail customer service use discretion to maintain customer loyalty

In the world of retail, customer loyalty is key to success. While a company can attract new customers through marketing and advertising, keeping them coming back is a different story. Customer service plays a significant role in building a loyal customer base. One way to maintain customer loyalty is by using discretion in customer service interactions.

Discretion is the ability to make decisions based on individual circumstances rather than following strict rules or guidelines. In retail customer service, discretion allows employees to handle unique situations in a way that benefits the customer and the company. When employees are given the freedom to make decisions, they can provide personalized service that meets the customer’s needs.

For example, let’s say a customer wants to return an item but doesn’t have the original receipt. Instead of denying the return outright, an employee who uses discretion might offer the customer store credit or a refund for the lowest sale price of the item. By using discretion, the employee can make a decision that benefits both the customer and the company, instead of following a strict return policy that could leave the customer dissatisfied and less likely to shop at the store in the future.

Using discretion in customer service can also help build trust with customers. When employees are empowered to make decisions, customers feel like they are being heard and that their individual needs are being taken into account. This creates a positive experience for the customer and can lead to increased loyalty.

However, it’s important to note that discretion should be used judiciously. Employees should be trained on when and how to use discretion, and there should be guidelines in place to ensure that employees are making decisions that benefit both the customer and the company. For example, an employee should not use discretion to give a customer a discount that is not available to other customers. This could create resentment among other customers and damage the company’s reputation.

In addition, discretion should not be used as a way to avoid following policies or rules. Instead, it should be used to provide personalized service that meets the customer’s needs while also benefiting the company. By doing so, companies can build a loyal customer base that values the service and experiences they receive.

Conclusion

Using discretion in retail customer service can be an effective way to maintain customer loyalty. When employees are empowered to make decisions based on individual circumstances, they can provide personalized service that meets the customer’s needs and builds trust. However, discretion should be used judiciously and with guidelines in place to ensure that decisions benefit both the customer and the company. By doing so, companies can create a positive experience for customers that keeps them coming back.

To think I have been a loyal customer for 35 years you would think they would care. I am gutted that I opted out of their survey as I would give them my opinion there and then.

These PLC companies only care about sales and not about customer relations or people with disabilities.

The customer support operator did not care about keeping me as a loyal customer and did not care about keeping Tesco’s good name in order let alone losing business.

I give Tesco one star for their customer support performance today.

Maybe it is about time I start shopping elsewhere.

Schoolgirls were forced to line up to be inspected by a male teacher.

MSN Headline: Anger as schoolgirls forced to line up as male teacher inspects and measures their skirts (msn.com)

EXPRESS.co.uk Anger as schoolgirls forced to line up as male teacher inspects and measures their skirts | UK | News | Express.co.uk

Citation: Schoolgirls were left in tears after a male teacher inspected their skirts, according to reports. Rainford High School in St Helens has come under fire for enforcing its uniform policy which requires girls to wear knee-length skirts, with many parents and pupils claiming male teachers were involved in the inspection of the skirt length.

My Views: I did not bother making a comment on MSN as they censor what you write and this is what I think about the above article and the personal experience I have had as a schoolgirl and then on as a mother.

The teacher at the school provided he was not taking any photos and had the right to check the length of the skirts as long as he did not take a tape measure out and was physical. If it is the school’s policy that the girl’s uniform should have a knee-length skirt then it should be abided by. Parents are helpless if the skirt leaves home as per the letter but gets rolled up to be on par with fashion. I remember buying my daughter black shoes which had a gold trim and were told to get a new pair. The school refunded me because I could not see it in their terms and conditions.

If parents and school kids are outraged at today’s article on MSN then the next bit will shock readers more.

My own interactions with teachers

When I was in school some 45 years ago there was a PE teacher that would watch the girls have a shower and then would line up the girls against a wall in their towels to inspect their posture as she claimed. For the girls that did not wrap themselves up properly, they would end up going commando. It haunts me to this day and who was I going to complain to at the time? I could not tell my parents as it was embarrassing. I could not tell another teacher as I would be accused of being a snitch. The headteacher was no better as he was arrested for pedophilia according to some sources although researching online I have found one headteacher from that school is not the same one that was head at the time me being there. I can not get a reliable reference to what I have heard so, unfortunately for now it is simply hearsay until I find a source.

Punishment with a cane

Furthermore, I even had punishment by a cane for pulling a prank when I was about 14. I am not saying I was not to blame as the bullies in my class made me put the blotted paper soaked with quill ink on the end of my ruler and flick it which landed on a schoolboy’s arm. I ended up having three whips to my left hand as my right hand was spared for writing. Quill ink is permanent so his school shirt was ruined, no wonder his mother did not like me when I later started dating his brother some four years later.

PE Teacher

The teacher would have retired by now so all I can do is put it in the past, but still, articles such as the one today do bring back uncomfortable memories: Anger as schoolgirls forced to line up as male teacher inspects and measures their skirts | UK | News | Express.co.uk

Losing Loved Ones and Missing Your Old Life

Losing Loved Ones and Missing Your Old Life

Losing a loved one is an experience that can be incredibly difficult to bear. The pain of separation can linger on for months or even years, leaving behind an unfillable void in one’s heart. The process of grieving is complicated and different for every individual, but one thing that is universal is the longing to be with the person who has passed away.

It’s not uncommon for people to experience a strong sense of missing their loved ones after they have passed away. The feeling of emptiness that comes from their absence can be overwhelming and persistent, and sometimes it can feel like nothing will ever be able to fill that void.

Grieving is a natural and necessary process that helps us come to terms with our loss, but missing someone who has passed away can feel like a never-ending process. It’s a painful reminder of what we have lost, and it can be challenging to find comfort or solace in the midst of our grief.

There are many ways to cope with missing a loved one who has passed away. One way is to embrace the memories and cherish the time that was shared. Celebrating the person’s life, passions, and accomplishments can be a way to honor their memory and keep them close to our hearts. Sharing stories, looking at old photographs, and talking about the person can help keep their spirit alive and ease the pain of missing them.

Another way to cope with missing a loved one is to find ways to connect with them in spirit. Some people find comfort in writing letters or talking out loud to their loved ones as if they were still present. Others find solace in practicing mindfulness or meditation, which can help to quiet the mind and focus on the present moment.

For some people, seeking support from a professional can be helpful. A therapist or grief counselor can provide a safe space to process emotions, work through feelings of loss, and offer guidance on coping mechanisms.

In addition to these methods, it’s important to remember that grief is a process and there is no “right” way to deal with missing a loved one who has passed away. It’s okay to feel sad, angry, or even numb at times, and it’s okay to take the time needed to process these emotions. Remember to be kind to yourself and to seek support when needed.

In conclusion, missing a loved one who has passed away is a natural and difficult part of the grieving process. However, losing a loved one through a breakup or divorce can also be traumatic. It’s important to remember that the pain of separation may never fully go away, but there are ways to cope with the pain and honor the memory of the person who has passed. Whether it’s through embracing memories, finding ways to connect in spirit, or seeking support from professionals, there are ways to find comfort and peace amidst the pain.

Inspiration

I watched a film the other day Emilia 2.0 and it made me wonder why we cannot already upload our subconscious minds to AI.

Imagine logging in and being able to connect with the people that have passed away. Imagine having a conversation with someone even if they may not be in the physical form,

Currently, it is not possible to upload the subconscious mind to AI, and it is not clear if this will ever be possible, although the likes of Elon Musk and Neurolink tells me they are already working on it.

I have often wondered if I was to phone my parent’s number would they answer, even though in reality that number was sold the moment it was cut off?

If we can communicate with people all over the world using a small device called a smartphone, imagine if we could communicate with people that have passed on.

The subconscious mind refers to the part of the mind that is not in the conscious awareness of the individual but still influences their thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It is a complex and poorly understood aspect of human psychology, and while there has been much research on the topic, it remains a subject of ongoing study.

On the other hand, AI (Artificial Intelligence) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines. While AI has made significant strides in recent years, including in areas like image and speech recognition, natural language processing, and decision-making, the technology is still far from being able to fully replicate the workings of the human mind.

At present, it is not clear how the subconscious mind could be uploaded to AI, or even if it is a desirable or ethical pursuit. While some scientists and futurists have speculated about the possibility of creating conscious or sentient machines, these ideas are still largely hypothetical and subject to debate.

In conclusion, while the possibility of uploading the subconscious mind to AI is an interesting idea, it remains in the realm of science fiction at this time, and it is not clear if or when it may become a reality.

Missing My Old Life

  • I miss my parents and my brother.
  • I miss the house we all grew up in.
  • I miss the food my parents made.
  • I miss the people that I loved and cared about that no longer are in my life, like my mum, dad, my brother, and my ex-husband that passed away.
  • I miss the feeling of security and stability.
  • I miss my younger self.
  • I miss the body that I once had.
  • I miss being happy.

My Journey

I have this urge to recall and back up every memory I have. This will be a reference for my loved ones once I am no longer an earthly being.

Imagine if there was something out there that could help us record our thoughts. If we cannot record our thoughts and memories we should at least write them down online so that when the time comes we could activate our voices to sync with the information we wish to share.

Imagine writing a biography of your life and converting it to audio and then having AI talk in your voice and answer questions with data from the subconscious mind.

If this was already invented I would gladly log in and chat with my loved ones that have passed away. Even if it was not real it would give me comfort just hearing their voice.

Imagine

Imagine being a spiritual being and being able to go where you wanted to go without boundaries or limitations. If this was possible I would want to meet all my loved ones in the house we once had. I would want to also communicate with the people I left behind.

My Goals

My goals are to find a way to upload all my memories and my subconscious mind and turn myself into iRenata 2.0 For now I will just have to stick to writing my biography and turning it into audio. I aim to do a series of podcasts on different subjects in the near future.

Rebuilding My Life

I am trying to rebuild my life after making some grave mistakes. I am on a path to prosperity and am trying to put all my bad memories aside, although I will share them in the book I am in the through of writing. I will leave no stone unturned and the people that have harmed me in one way or another will have their five minutes of fame. My words cannot be undone once they are published.

I am paving the way to a new life where I will finally find happiness and security, I am a ‘Phoenix Rising’.
