Considering that you never delivered the most important part of my request and when I invformed you of this on the phone all I got was I will phone you straight back, that was a week ago and I still haven’t had the phone call back, I don’t think I will be using you again

Wanted a *Just cannot wait card,* signed-up cannot download as do not have a printer cannot download to ifone as it asks for a credit card to be added before it will add any other cards to an iwallet. I was called by one of your CS advisors whom used my details to cold call, I explained I coukd not diwnload tbe digital one as I cannot use my Iwalket asjed could I be sent a physical card. I was told I could not have one unless I was a customer. Was given a lia List of things you provide and etc also went through all complimentary items too. When I said my district nurses use another company I was told I can use who I want it is easy to change over, that You could send out my prescription without waiting for my GP to sign it was also told can get any NHS prescriptions for me. False reasons to get people to sign up wrongful advertising* I am dusgusted you can do this to anyone & will be posting to Social Media platforms about my experience & why I could not have a card. When you say on your website sign up get a free JCW card. What a load of waffle. If I was looking to change to another supplier it certainly would not be your company based on your ethics! I just can't wait to post this on Social Media. Have a nice day!

I requested my a "have to go key and card", about a month or so ago, and still haven't received either of those resources as yet. Can you advise whether you require further information, or why this is the case? Trust I'll hear from someone shortly. Best wishes Marcus J PETER [Mr]

Dear Jan, We're so sorry to hear this happened to you, this must have been incredibly difficult. We're working on a new Toilet Scheme campaign to help businesses to understand what it means to live with a bladder and bowel condition and recognise the Just Can't Wait Card, which we hope in turn will reduce instances like this. In the meantime, thank you for your feedback, and we hope you stay with us on the journey - the more people who use the card, the more it will be recognised. Kind regards - Bladder & Bowel Community

Hi there Julie, Thank you for your review, we're sorry if you haven't been able to get your card yet. We offer the Digital Just Can't Wait Card for free which you can download instantly to a smartphone - however due to postage and packaging costs we must make a small charge for our plastic card version. We do however keep this cost as low as possible to make it accessible to all who need it. If you require further support, please feel free to contact us at help@bladderandbowel.org Kind regards - Bladder & Bowel Community Team

Dear Corbin, Apologies for not picking this up sooner - thank you for your comments and hopefully we can help. We understand that the Digital Card might not suit all people, so we offer the plastic card as an alternative. You are very welcome to apply for one directly, just download and complete the form and return it to us with payment. We'll then post your brand new plastic card back to you. If you need support with the above, please email help@bladderandbowel.org Kind regards - Bladder & Bowel Community Team

Hi there Denise, We're so sorry to hear this - awareness is a big part of the process, and we know it's a long one. We're constantly working to improve the understanding of what the card is, and what it means to people with retailers and managers of public spaces. We do recognise though, that the more people who carry and present the card, the more retailers will be aware of the need and offer more compassion. Please know that you have been heard - do stay on the journey with us. Kind regards - Bladder & Bowel Community Team
