My three phone had a fault and i went to apple who said they could fix it for £620 and three would refund us if we had the receipt. I was a bit dubious as it’s a lot of money, so called three first who assured me yes we do the refund and takes 3-5 working days to refund. I borrowed the money from a family member and paid for the repair, sent my apple repair receipts to three by email and was told again 3-5 days for refund. I waited a week and checked my three account and saw a credit for a different amount on my account, they had credited my three bill account and had taken a months line rental off the refund! So I called and was told their changing systems over it was an error and would refund full amount in 7 days, waited 7 days no money! Called back and was told that it got stuck in system and would be another 7 days, 7 days past no money. Called again after this and was told that it would be in in another 7 days and that they will give me a free month for the inconvenience and that I won’t have to call again as money will be in. Checked this morning and now the payment has gone down to £480 because they’ve took another line rental! And no refund! Am furious and still no closer to getting a refund.
I still owe my family the £620 as well!
poor customer service and won’t be renewing contract.

Three is terrible at network and service and most the time their data doesn’t work 😅. I’m switching to o2 . My whole families on o2 and they never have problems and are always happy with their service . Three also owes me £262.25 refund which they keep saying 7 days 7 days etc. I’m not sure if I’m taking to a proper person or an Indian scammer as with the proof of my refund submission they weren’t able to provide me with an email confirmation

Hey @SA61297,
I'm really sorry to hear you're looking into leaving Three. I appreciate it may be too late to change your mind about leaving, but I'd be happy to look into the refund you mentioned.
Could you advise what the refund is for? When did you last speak with our teams?
Thanks,
Kate

I last spoke to your team yesterday and they keep saying the refund request keeps cancelling due to technical issues etc etc . I had a device instalment of £26.25 to be paid for my Apple Watch and the guy on the phone charged £262.25 which really left me annoyed as bills have to still go out

That's quite strange. I'm unsure what issue the team might have been referring to. I'd recommend coming back through to speak to us again, or you can log a complaint about the problem and have it looked into by the complaints team.
Pete.

I purchased an I phone 15. I paid the upfront £240, and after that, I received an email that said that my order had been canceled and I would be refunded in 28 days if I made any payment without telling me precisely the reason for the cancellation. Yesterday I called because I needed my refund of £240. I went to three stores in Bolton. I found out that the contract that had been canceled had been submitted as long as I hadn't received the device. Also, the DPD delivery van didn't turn up to deliver the parcel, so everything was confusing and frustrating when I called to get A clarification because each person said different things regarding my case so disorganized three team members. I come here to check for the review and found out others also have the same problem of refund; therefore, those reviews make me more distressed and dissatisfied according to how Three treated his own customers and I have been with Three contracts since 2013 I in total 3 contracts but facing awful services. Please, I need my refund I need for buying my a sister's gift . Yesterday I spoke with one of Three colleague and said I will be refunded the full amount of £240 in 3 to 5 working days by Three, hopefully into my bank account.

I’m in a similar situation like you. On 10/04/2024 I purchased an Iphone 15 pro max. Additionally, I have paid the upfront £145.99 and after that, I received an email that said that my order had been canceled and I would be refunded in 28 days. Until today 01/06/2024 I haven’t received any refunds. I have called them so many times they keep telling me 7 day -7 day. Wait you will get in 7 working day I promise they are lying to me and they are giving me wrong information and nothing I have received. No money no nothing. So shame

Still haven’t received my refund yet. One of the three customer service agent has been telling me to go to HSBC and how him his email. Unfortunately they told me can’t do it as three need to refund the money not HSBC. So confused 5 months since I made the upfront payment and 5 months of waiting.

Hi @Larisa1990,
Did you contact the team @KateS suggested on her PM to you? If so, can you let me know who you've been in touch with there please?
Thanks,
Jonathan
