Barbara, Try sending an E mail to ?helpline@xxxxxxxxxxx ? detailing all the problems you are having with BT, your E mail will be forwarded to the revelant people. I did this when I was having similar problems with NTL, it took over a week to get the response but I received a call from the top man himself and got everything sorted.
