Brilliant service from Alan

Alan's service after AI had had its stab at sorting out my problem was superb. He gave clear advice that had my immediate confidence. It was very reassuring to correspond with a human who understood the problem, knew the solution and could bear my terrible sense of humour. Brilliant service from Alan for which I am very grateful.

Exceptional service

When I was locked out of my account due to email changes, it wasn't the usual problem, going round in circles asking for the same verification code that you can no longer access. What happened instead was an instant solution, a new invitation to start with a new login, follow up to ensure all information was swapped over behind the scenes and then a further follow up offering extra support. I considered this exceptional service from start to finish, something I find rare these days, particularly if it is something that takes more work to fix.

Real People!

Outstanding customer service! Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely pleasant to deal with. It was a breath of fresh air to speak directly to a real person instead of a chatbot. This level of personal service is becoming rare and is very much appreciated.

Cieran got me 'fast'

Cieran got me 'fast' and the option to screenshare was good. I am seeing something which is difficult to repaint mentally or verbally - it's so much easier to show the support team. and from that the solution emerged quickly and I felt satisfied with my help

Maria F thankfully found my issue and so i was able to resolve it today, a certain box was left ticked and all i needed to do was untick it. Chat online within payroll was no good for this scenario and via phone conversation with BP didnt solve the issue as i was given wrong advice on the phone, But luckily you get emails from BP that state they will close the case number after 3 days of no response, so i responded to and Maria replied with the solution.
