Received the taxi this evening from…

Received the taxi this evening from this firm and let me tell you the way that I was spoken to and made to feel like I'm not even a part of society is a understatement on answering the taxi I was told that I will have to pay money upfront never had to do this before and the confusion from my side is that I've always use lucky 7 and always paid he basically responded and said people like you and I need to get my money before I set off so let's just get to the queen I live in supported accommodation and then basically asked for an explanation why would he point someone out like myself while dressed well-mannered and polite on arrival with money in my hands bare in mind so basically by this point I've already passed the money on and I've asked this question after he's basically said do you want to go home or not or do you you want to get out of by this point I've already been bullied into my money and now I'm being bullied into how I will get home I went quiet and within myself for a few minutes and then realid the situation was no good and ask to get out of this taxi he rubs the car over the road and then says that I will be charging you from here to there so I've been spoken to poorly bullied out of money and then nearly giving whiplash the way he pulled over the road like a little boy racer the I have reported this to the police and will with a port in it to the taxi licencing firm tomorrow also I will not be penalised for my situation and my livelihood speaking like this to customers and picking up people from a college I don't see it is the job for this person thank god that they give number plates out as they were refusing also to give the licence number off that driver they were dating over the phone that they can't do this I don't know how true this is but I will find out off the taxi licencing people tomorrow peppol like you it's absolutely disgusting makes me feel like that

Booked a taxi

Booked a taxi, from my home to a friend's, obviously booked the same one back, going from my home was charged 15 pounds which is actually too much. Out of good grace I give that, coming back it was 17.50, so he rang his manger, she checked that I paid 15 earlier on in the day. So he was told to accept the 15 pounds, and that the company would make up the rest. As I refused to pay it, as soon as his boss was off the phone it was raised voices hands in my face "get out of my taxi you smackhead, crackhead!!! so I exited the car calmly and left the door open, he had the nerve to say why leave my door open, after 5mins of abuse in the car. All the drivers charge different amounts for the same journey. Shouldn't of had to pay the 15 going there, as he went well out his way, lied to me saying western coyney way to get to sandford Hill. And we ended up in forsbrook, turning right for dilhorne lanes anyway, which i said he should of done at the boundary leaving cheadle. As I said look this is normally a 13.90 fair. And he was ok with it of me giving 15, they make it up with bs and driving super slow, but coming back other driver knew friends of mine, so was kinda cool but soon turned sour he was going to keave me stranded on boundary lanes as well, i never raised my voice once to him nor was i disrespectful, i will never use this company again. And I will be taking this further. Was visiting a friend who had just came out if hospital and needed help. So don't bother with the so called phone call, as I have made some calls of my own already. Don't want to hear from you again, sort your drivers out. I have used you guys for time now, you have lost a good customer.

AVOID AVOID AVOID !!!!!!

AVOID AVOID AVOID. Would give 0 if I could!!!! Absolutely awful!!!!!!!. Booked my taxi 5 days prior to needing so I knew I had a journey home. The night came and 7 minutes before my taxi was meant to arrive I get a message from on the app to say “sorry we have had to cancel your taxi”.. not really on is it? Leaving customers stranded at places 7 minutes before they’re meant to go home. NEVER BE USING THIS COMPANY AGAIN.

Avoid this dreadful taxi company at all costs

We used this taxi firm to return late night from a wedding on the weekend and it was a dreadful experience, exacerbated by appalling, rude and totally unhelpful customer service. Having booked it more than 24 hours in advance, we were waiting in the cold and dark for nearly half an hour after our scheduled booking. It transpired that our original driver had decided not to bother, something that Lucky Seven knew but didn't tell us. We only found out when we phoned to find out where our already late cab was. The people who answered back at base seemed annoyed by our frustration and not especially willing to help. I don't think it is possible to receive less friendly, less helpful and ruder customer service than these cowboys. DO NOT USE THIS TAXI COMPANY!

Useless and definitely would avoid at all costs

Unreliable App and dreadful customer service.

The app allows you to book a time in advance that the taxi company can’t fulfil regardless of the time of day. It’s twice I’ve been told to avoid booking a taxi at a similar time to when schools finish. Just excuses and a dreadful attitude on base when you call up. The first time I called I was told the taxi would be three minutes! It’s a lie because it arrived 25 minutes later. it’s a shame because the drivers are usually nice and polite. Obviously the app needs improvement and the people that answer your phone need to work on their customer service skills! I’ve been using you for too long and its time to try someone else because despite giving you extra time today knowing how unreliable you can be I’ve still missed my train!

Should be zero stars

Should be zero stars! Over an hour late, told me repeatedly taxi was only 10 minutes away. Made me late for work, terrible service. No apology for being late, no compensation, only attitude when questioned on lateness. Shocking taxi service!!!

DO NOT USE THI TAXI SERVICE

Would have NO stars if it was possible!
Called to pre book taxi for 11:50 as had a train booked for 12:33. We don’t live too far from the train station so we would have more than enough time to get a coffee before the train was due to depart. At 11:50c there was no taxi, called them immediately to be told “another 5 minutes”. Waited another 10 minutes and nothing. Called again to be told “you are next and on priority”. I lost it. I was still polite but said I pre booked and that I had a train booked and if I was to miss the train if they would pay for me to rebook it and the answer was “no”. So I decided to drive to the station and pay for parking for 4 days instead of risking missing the train and having to fork another ticket as we are going to London, it would be more than £48 to rebook the ticket.
I wasn’t going to call them to cancel and make them wait like I did, but decided against it in the end. When I called back to cancel it, the lady said “he will be another 5 minutes”. What I wanted to have replied wouldn’t be nice so I just hung up the phone. So here I am £30 down as the taxi would have cost us between £10 - £15. Utter devastated and annoyed that I pre booked the taxi service and was given no consideration!

Absolutely appalling taxi firm worst in Staffordshire and probably beyond

Absolutely appalling taxi firm. Disgusted by the service I received yet again. I gave them another chance after having issue after issue after issue with them last year. Taxis not turning up, hour long waits on pre-booked taxis, call staff never apologise and always lie to get you off the phone knowing full well the driver is not on route.

I've paid in advance on the app and taxis and minibuses have not turned up. I've used this pathetic excuse for a company for the last time and am making sure my family and friends do not use lucky seven either. The service is so bad that i feel it's important to make people aware because they don't deserve the monopoly they have over the city's transport

Please please don't waste your money on this corrupt company who do not care how bad the service is that they give.

Use magnum, autocab or intercity who have now banded together against the monopoly of lucky seven and are quick, always turn up and give good service.

If I could I would give minus ten…

If I could I would give minus ten stars. The worst taxi company in the world. Taxis always late (average waiting time 45 minutes) or never turn up, no updates, cars filthy and stinky. Avoid ! I’d rather walk, than go with them.
