Deutsche Bahn not responding?

Deutsche Bahn not responding? - Bank in classic building on street

I had recently booked a ticket using their online portal. I tried using VISA twice, but it showed transaction failed. Then I booked using SOFORT(successful). Next day I found they had credited the amount from the VISA transaction. I sent them a mail (it's been 2 days no response). I then tried calling them, each time they forward me to their english customer desk(As my German language is poor). I've waited for 45mins, 1:30mins and presently 30 mins. They are not responding to anything. What should I do



Best Answer

The English support hotline can be a pain sometimes, and it costs money (luckily per call, not per minute). If you have a coworker or friend who speaks German, ask them to call the German hotline for you, and only do the validation of your personal details yourself.

In general at the moment, especially during the aftermath of the storms on the 28th and 29th of October, it's possible that they are really backlogged and simply have not managed to get to your email yet. Usually they do.
