“VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE & INSTRUCTOR”

★☆☆☆☆

written by HUTCH2 on 03/01/2022

I have been liaising with the AA in respect of my complaint since 9 OCTOBER 2022 , ie refund of 6 hours instead of the 4 hours refunded, ie
Booked:
17 Sept 5pm
24 Sept 5pm
2 Oct 9.30am
9 Oct 9.30am
16 Oct 12pm
22 Oct 4.30pm
6 Nov 9.30am

Booked lessons 16th and 22nd October cancelled but not the 6 November at 9.30am. The AA confirmed a refund of the 4 hours after a live chat which was ridiculously hard to get through after 3 weeks of trying. The amount of £115.08 but as of today’s date 3 JANUARY 2022!!! I have not received the refund. Upon working out the refund it still isn’t correct. In total plus the £35 (initial payment) I have paid out £402! I’ve had 4 lessons!!  Bank receipts can be provided! I have called continuously on the numbers provided for the complaint but still NOTHING!!!

The other issue is with the instructor who received a payment of £35 for the first initial 2 hours driving lesson. then sent a text saying she’d left BSM and now with the AA providing a pupil number. I also have evidence.

I paid upfront £367 for the further 6 lessons not including the £35, when the instructor cancelled the penultimate 2 lessons refunding the hours, ie 4 hours and not the final lesson booked on 6 November at 9.30am! The refund should be for £183.50, ie 3 lessons! 6 x £61.16666666666667 = £367! This does not include the £35. AS OF TODAY STILL NOT RECEIVED!!!

BE AWARE I WOULD ADVISE NOT TO USE THE AA FOR DRIVING LESSONS! AND IF YOU’RE WAITING FOR A REFUND GOOD LUCK - ITS DISGRACEFUL - I’M NOW REPORTING TO TRADING STANDARDS ETC!

The Aa's Response to HUTCH2's Review

Written on: 06/01/2022

Hi, we're sorry to see you've been struggling to get through on our Live chat. We don't have an active phone number since before the pandemic which will be why you're not getting any response there. If you send us an email and a copy of this review, along with your Pupil ID and phone number, we'll get this sorted.
