Put it on Twitter! I say this as if I know how which I'm ashamed to say I don't, but my daughters get immediate and positive results.

They have identified and provided the wrong part. Contact them telling them to collect the item and you want a full refund. If any issues, put in writing and if you subscibe go on Twitter stating your case. Companies do not like complaints being aired so publicly and usually respond quickly and favourably.

What rubbish service. Make a BIG NOISE.

Definitely put it in writing. We had a problem with the delivery of a footstool by a company that prides itself on customer service. I rang them and was told they would sort it out but they could not do anything until they had looked into it. I then emailed and within 5 minutes I had a call from a senior manager who assured me the foot stool would arrive on Tuesday and as a goodwill gesture she refunded me the money we had paid to have our old suite taken away.

Another here to say - put it in writing - much harder to ignore.

I would also write to them. It might not change the outcome, but companies need to know what their customers think, - and it will make you feel better. I wrote to Domestic and General when they increased my boiler cover from £8.90 per month, to over £25.00. I had first queried it on the phone, and it was quickly reduced to £18.00. Too little too late, as I had found a lower price than that. I got a reply to my letter, giving the reasons why it had gone up so much ( greed to some extent), but there was nothing they could do. No mention of the fact that, when pushed, they did reduce it somewhat. Strange how companies like our feedback, when it's positive.

Contact one of the TV consumer programmes - and tell Indesit you're going to do it!

I would suggest money back and the correct part. Dreadful service.

And ask for your money back.

Ripoff Britain springs to mind MotherHubbard.
Phone as you said but also send a letter of complaint.

A paddle on the drum of my washer/ dryer has broken: I rang Indesit to order a spare giving them my model number and was informed it would cost £29.83 and be delivered the next day. At the time I did think it was a bit expensive but paid. The part arrived as promised but its the wrong one. Also checking the invoice it only cost £11 and the remaining £18 charge was for postage and VAT! As there was no one available to speak to today I looked up the correct part on Indesit’s website to find I could have ordered online and postage was either £2:99 or £6.99 for next day delivery- so ordering by phone cost me double, which seems very wrong. Will be contacting them on Monday.
