I am going to keep a record of all the reference numbers they issue me with when I contact them and will go to Trading Standards as I am certainly not getting what I pay for. There automated response also asks you to reply to any emails between a specific area on the page and then when you try you can't click into that area. They are a joke. I wouldn't mind if they gave an apology but it appears to be a faceless company.

BTW now can't get on Ancestry site and haven't for about 1 hour. Is there any redress against Ancestry as I can't do any research and yet I'm paying a year subscription like a lot of other people. So annoyed.My email inbox is full of responses to complaints. I so wish I'd never bothered joining but can't really afford another subscription.

Just had a response to an email I sent on the 10th!! they are experiencing probs with the FTM 2008 rollout and have had several emails about access probs. Asks us to be patient. Yeah right. I would complete the questionnaire they sent but can't get the page up.
Why are we paying for something we can't access.

I can now access after 2 hours of trying.They must wait till so many complain and then allow those that do access and then stop others trying for a while. Call me cynical. lol
