~anon's review of HMRC customer service
GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's HMRC customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~anon: On hold for nearly an hour, hung up out of frustration. No indication of how long the queue is. And that after having previous attempts cut short automatically because "they are busy". No service at all.
GetHuman: Let's quantify your experience contacting HMRC. On a scale of 1 to 5, how easy is it go get help on a HMRC problem?
~anon: I'd give them a five out of five for ease of finding your way to help.
GetHuman: What about quality of communication. How would you rate that on a 1 to 5 scale?
~anon: I'd give them a two out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about HMRC's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~anon: For that I would say five out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other HMRC customers?
~anon: Call them early in the day or late. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for HMRC to know who you are.
GetHuman: Well there you have it. Some useful feedback and words from ~anon taken from his HMRC customer service problem that occurred on November 22nd, 2017.
