British Heart Foundation just made my shitlist
by Bruce Ure at 12:35 25/04/07 (Blogs::Bruce)
OK they're a charity, but that doesn't make them immune to incompetence.
First they lost the London to Brighton forms and I had to resend them, then they found them again. OK, an irritation.

I set up an account with them only to realise you can't create an online giving page until you get your official details.

Finally I got my details, and was able to set up a fundraising page, BUT whenever anyone tries to use it, they get one of two different error messages before giving up in frustration.

Numerous phone messages have been left and numerous Contact forms filled out, and I've had NOT ONE call back from them.

Further to all this, I made the basic error of logging on using the wrong one of my accounts just now, the one without the fundraising page, and guess what? There's no "Logout" facility, which means I can't now log in as the other account until my session expires.

And BHF is supposed to promote REDUCTION of stress...

I've had enough, I'm going to set up a JustGiving page for the BHF tomorrow, if I've not heard from them by lunchtime. How bloody pointless is that? Still, if they can't be arsed to get back to me, what choice do I have?

Well I sort of feel duty bound to raise for BHF since it's their ride, but to be honest if they don't get their shit together maybe I'll just direct my sponsors to give it all to Asthma UK instead of half-and-half. I'm losing patience.
