Proof of Purchase and Proof of Usage

are — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 07:20:49 GMT

Hi,

I was required to obtain a proof of purchase and proof of usage by my insurance company and the customer service I have received regarding this has been awful.

Initially I opened a case using the 3 Live Chat but then 3 days later I received a notification that the case was closed. When I then chatted with an agent again on Live Chat they said that the previous case had been closed as no information had been uploaded to the ticket by the chat operator so I would have t go through the process again to log another case.

I did this on the 1 August and I still haven't got any of the documents back. Even though I was repeatedly told that it would not take any longer than 10 working days (which even in itself seemed crazy).

This is ridiculous as I need the documents to continue the process with my phone insurer. I am currently left without access to my phone including vital mobile banking apps due to this lengthy unexplained delay from 3.

Can someone please get in touch with me to escalate this so I can receive the documents today.

Regards,

Adam

Hi Kate,

My insurance company came back and said they couldn't accept as it was a Word document proof of usage, can I please have it in a PDF form. They won't accept me making it a PDF as they can see when it's modified and said they don't allow that. Thanks. Lorna

I switched my network provider from Vodafone UK to Three as a few of my friends were using Three and convinced me to change. I even recommended a few of my colleagues. Unfortunately sad news, my phone was stolen - I contacted Three via phone on 18th July 2024 to request Proof of Usage and Proof of Barring for my insurance claim. I was asked to send an email to (proofs@contact.three.co.uk) with my proof of purchase receipt. I was promised an email with the Proof of Barring and Usage within 72 hours. I received nothing after providing my name, address, phone number and date of birth via email. I called twice earlier before and they said Proof of barring will be given from Apple. I spoke to the Apple team twice and even the Insurance team said, that proof of barring means a network is locked on the stolen device, so no one in the UK can use it and Three is my network provider as they have access to block network restrictions. I have still received nothing and request someone to help. I have all the other information I need to submit my insurance claim but only lack of Proof of Barring which is preventing me from making the claim despite it having been promised by Asad one of the nice customer advisers who was little helpful before the other 2 customer advisers.

This is extremely disappointing as the rest of the service from Three has been an excellent process but a company is only as good as its weakest link and this is a very weak link.

I am experiencing the same problem with Three. Was yours ever resolved. Did the insurance replace your phone as they said they can only give me proof of barring. My insurance company asked for proof of usage

they give us wrong mail id to send documents and ask us to wait for 72 hours when we reach out after 72 hours they say something and push for more 72 hours

they simply don’t value customers time all this process takes at least 30 mins every time you want to contact them

Hey there.

Ah, that sounds frustrating for sure. There was a change made to the email address used for this not long ago, it's possible this is where the mistake came from.

Delays in getting the proofs isn't great. What email address was given in the end?

Pete.
