Dear Three Support Team,
I am writing to raise a complaint regarding the ongoing issue of being charged £105 for not returning the 5G router, which I have already returned. Additionally, I have now been passed to a debt collection agency, which is extremely concerning and frustrating.
To provide clarity on the situation:
1. Delayed Return Bag Delivery
I waited for over a month to receive the return bag for the router. Despite multiple follow-ups, it never arrived.
I finally received the return bag after requesting a new one and promptly sent the router back via the post office on 20th November 2024.
2. Failure to Confirm Return
Since returning the router, I have been receiving emails and calls stating that the item has not been received. It has now been over two months, and I am still being told the item is missing, despite following your process.
When I spoke to your customer service team today, I was informed that there is no way for them to check with the logistics team to confirm receipt of the router, which I find unacceptable.
3. Tracking Number Issue
The customer service representative mentioned that I was required to provide the tracking number immediately after posting the item, but I was never informed of this requirement.
Since no one advised me to retain the tracking number, I did not think to save it or take a photo. By the time I was asked for it (a month later, in December), I was unable to locate it.
4. Unfair Treatment
I find it unreasonable and unfair to be charged £105 and have my account passed to a debt collection agency for a router I returned following your instructions. The situation is causing unnecessary stress, and I am deeply dissatisfied with how this has been handled.
This entire process has been frustrating and unacceptable. I request an immediate review of my case to confirm the return of the router. If no resolution is reached, I will escalate this matter by filing a complaint with the Communications Ombudsman, as I strongly believe I am being unfairly charged for an item I returned in good faith.
I trust that you will resolve this matter promptly to avoid further escalation.
Thank you for your attention to this issue.

These guys are fraudsters essentially. Holding your credit rating to ransom... should be on Watchdog or similar. Clearly a lot of us are having very similar experiences.
