I rang new Carmiles at 18.14 and booked a cab from peacocks in town center to 4 bishop avenue. The person I spoke to was Toni. I rang again at 18.28 to inquire how long it will take and a younger girl answered and said she couldn’t find the booking but she will book another one. I asked her how long and she said 10-15 mins. It was cold out being January so I went to wait near a shop to keep warm. I rang again at 18.40 and Toni answered the phone and shouted at me saying the cab came and left and she won’t send another one. I told her I didn’t get any notification and I was waiting right nearby. She said because the first call wasn’t on the record, a call she took, they didn’t do a call back. I explained I’m disabled and I needed to get home. As I was explaining what happened calmly asked me to stop talking and told me to call 247. I rang again and she basically hung up on me. I rang again to ask her name to make a complaint hence how I know it was Toni
I’m a disabled person who relies completely on taxis as I can’t drive and have mobility issues. I don’t have any family to help me. Why does this company think it’s okay to treat people like this. If there is not going to be a call back, customers should be informed. It’s cold out there so I was waiting in marks and Spencer for a call. I wasn’t my fault that the call wasn’t registered the first time. I have the call log as proof that I spoke to new car miles at 18.14 for 30 secs. I am going to make a complaint to the council as well because to treat someone disabled like this is cruel behaviour. I could understand if I was shouting or drunk, I’m a disabled person who just needed to get home. This is just horrible behaviour to someone who is extremely vulnerable.
