Hello Joy,
as I said before, I am more than confident that the customer support team would be able to help you. I know they have often helped you in the past. If the team were unable to help you and you were unhappy with a reply from Julie or Rachel, then your email would be passed to Nicky, the head of the customer support team.

Kind regards,

Estelle

Hello Joy,
we are confident that our customer support team will respond to every email to the best of their abilities. If you are unhappy with a reply, or you feel it does not answer your question, then you can explain you are not satisfied and ask them to reply again. Alternatively, you can ask for a response from either Julie or Rachel who are the most senior members of the support team.
I do hope this answers your query.
Kind regards,
Estelle

I will be blunt ....................

our questioning is NOT about the Living Relatives Board.

It is about asking GR support a question regarding something the person involved had done

Then about support saying "but we cannot discuss this with you for privacy reasons" ......... even though it was the member's OWN action that was at issue

More questioning of Support resulted only in the same answer.


So ................... if a member cannot get a proper answer from Support, where can we go????

The Society of Genealogists has produced a useful leaflet regarding the Data Protection Act and Genealogists.

Whilst professionals and researchers run as a business fall within scope of the Act, individual Genealogists who's research is purely for recreational purposes are likely to be exempt under Section 36.

It is, however, recommended that you adhere to the DP Principles as 'best practice' especially when making data available to other people.

If you are referring to your crusade about information posted on the LR board my guess is that you are flogging a dead horse. The only recourse you have really is the Data Protection Act - the commissioner can be found here.

I would not give a rat's tail for your chances though.

If it is about something else and you only get fluff for an answer the following work fine (a) send a letter / phone the Dundee end of the business (b) contact one of the team - details can usually be found in LinkedIn and various media/advertising web sites.

Me myself I have always found that politeness, persistence, humour mixed with a little sarcasm have always done the job just fine with GRU :-). That said customer relationship management at GRU coud do with some improvement.

Good luck

In http://www.genesreunited.co.za/boards/board/suggestions/thread/1308919?d=asc is
"please contact our customer support team who will be very happy to help you: support@genesreunited.co.uk."
If satisfactory replies are not received, and the team refuses to continue the "conversation", what would be the next step to take, please?
