Geko Direct Complaints

January 7th, 2011

Yup!  Complaints.  We are a business with a massive customer base and are growing steadily and as a result we can occasionally get things wrong.  I am an employee of Geko Direct and know from first hand experience the massive effort that is involved in making the customer experience a good one for the end user.  We have a highly skilled and dedicated team who work in our after-sales department, in fact there are more people working in the support departments than sales!

I must add at this point that I do not get paid for making these posts, are completely my own opinion and are not “vetted” or pre approved before publishing.

Recently I have seen an increase in staff leaving Geko for one reason or another and a random spattering of unfounded complaints appearing on various business review sites.  Having access to the Geko Direct database I have run quite a few of the names used in these complaints and the results shocked me!  At least 70% of the names yield no results in our systems?

Whereas there are genuine complaints out there on the web, they appear to be the same person copying and pasting the same complaint on lots of sites in order to damage Geko Direct’s business.  Geko is  regularly audited by external parties to ensure compliance to Ofcom regulations and GC25 in particular.  Before any deal is connected the call is listened too and scrutinised by an audit team.  They check for tariff miss sell, cost miss sell and ensure that everything is explained fully to the customer.  We are not allowed to be ambiguous about anything and everything MUST be spelt out.  Only then is the account passed to our operations team to be connected and dispatched.

If you have a complaint, first take it to your account manager, if that fails speak to our after-sales team as it is them who WILL be able to sort your problems out.

On the subject of complaints, just google any mobile phone dealer and count the number of complaints, google Geko Direct complaints and you find 1 page of the same person before the results start quoting the Garmin Geko?  A company doesnt achieve one of the highest accolades from Orange and last 10 years even through a recession by ripping people off!

If you feel that you need to complain feel free, just add your real name to add some credence so if ever someone from Geko reads it they can respond directly to you.

Whilst I understand that this post isn’t going to stop the disgruntled ex staff members continuing to post their rubbish on the web.  It will however add credence to the genuine people out there.

Should you wish to add a complaint here it will not be edited or removed unless you are not a genuine customer or just want to practice your bad language.

    Hi. Maybe you can help me. We transferred our account to Orange via GEko in Oct 09 and were due a termination fee. I have tried everything, but keep getting lame excuses why this has not yet been paid some 16 months later. Excuses include Directoe forgetting to sign cheque and cheque lost in post!! I’ll bet the other phone dealers dont treat their customers like this. Please respond.

    @Paula Rowe

    I’m sorry you feel this way, however after more than two years of employment at Geko Direct I can assure you that they are fantastic employers. Why else would I spend my own time and money commenting and writing about them. As I have previously mentioned I do not get paid for this, all opinions are my own and I love my job and the company I work for.

    Ahhh Mr Maltby, I did think about the tobacco industry but their shares cost to much!
