Blacklisting Phone on CEIR database

[peter45133]

My iphone was stolen on 4th June and reported to Three the same day. My insurance company asked for proof of usage for which was provided by Three after I sent the proof of purchase on 23rd June. The POU shows the phone as being blacklisted. The insurer advises that this has not been recorded on the CEIR database and wont pay until this has been done. 

Your chat bot advised to upload the proof of purchase again, but I dont have any confidence in this being actioned as it should have been done the first time. Is there anything else I can do to get the phone registered on the blacklist?

Ive lost my phone and trying to claim through my insurance. so i have blacklisted the first imei on the phone to which i was told to blacklist the second and so that should be done soon but last time i asked they sent me the evidence for first imei block/blacklist . But i have rang up/webchat about this multiple times  the insurance company are still saying non of imei are registered on CEIR database even though i have multiple emails from you saying that the first one is blacklisted. every time I contact I seem to get put through the same process which doesnt seem to be blocking on CEIR database for some reason according to insurance company. Ive been a bit confused at it myself. Hope you can help. Thanks

I’m in the same situation and am tearing my head out with your Web chat advisors incl senior “custom service” managers. They just keep saying they’ve done all they can (which is f… all) and have wasted hours chatting to them. No one wants to give me a direct email or telephone number - why is three not helping its loyal customers??

I also have the same issue. Three are telling me the phone has been blacklisted. But the insurance company want it onCEIR. I am on the phone to 3 and tearing my hair out. They don’t understand what they need to do. I need help urgently as I am running out of time for the claim.
