Recently, my phone contract with the Post Office, ended... when the notification arrived in an email... I checked in with PN to see if they could beat the P.O. deal for my renewal...
They could not....initially ! !..
but in the end, we came to an agreement...
Today I received my "final bill" from the Post Office... and they will be sending me a "voucher" that I can cash in at any post office, so long as I can provide some identifcation papers... usual ... driving licence.. passport etc..
Yup !... they owe me money after a 1 year contract.... Unbelievable....
£0.57p.... Yee Hah ! ..

Being a cynical old git, I’m of the opinion that they do it this way (using a voucher) as you might be of the opinion that it’s more bother than the voucher is worth so never cash it, leaving them with the money.
I also ask myself how much it actually costs to produce it as well, granted maybe not a fortune but still a finite sum. So just on principal I’d cash it in the next time you are at the Post Office.

57? That's enough for a tin of beans!
Well done though because I've been mulling over those Post Office deals as well and they seemed pretty good.

I remember after a fault with my BT phone line a number of years ago that meant I had no phone for a while, I rang to ask about about a refund and compensation. BT said I couldn't have compensation as it was MBORC and they 'only' owed me 67p. I replied that actually it was £1.11 they owed me but the amount wasn't the point the point was it was mine and not theirs so could I have it please. They did begrudgingly take it off my next bill. 3 months later I had a call from a very nice lady who was checking accounts and she said that BT actually owed me £33 for my down time. I was somewhat surprised and pleased.

They guy on the end of the Live Chat, who was dealing with me, said, "Bimey, THAT is CHEAP, when I told him what the Post Office deal was... he said he couldn`t match it.. BUT>...... he then proceeded to make a "bundle" for me, and that deal was a bit better than having PN broadband, and The Post Office phone, as separate deals..

I tried to get a better deal out of Plusnet - but they point blank refused unless I transferred my phone line to them.
Since BT have never screwed up on billing (over several decades) & I frequently see Plusnet screwing up on simple things like peoples broadband billing, I declined.
Their reputation precedes them!

Well, I wasn't affected by the "rule" that you have to pay a surcharge for not having your phone with Plusnet,
and I wasn't affected by the recent price increases in broadband charges.
This was because I've been on the (no longer available) unlimited usage 80/20 fibre thing since 2013, before surcharges were announced.
So I pay £19-99 & I couldn't find anything cheaper with a 300+GByte monthly usage.
BTW I notice that some of the Plusnet Business plans appear to be cheaper than the retail plans, provided that you have a more modest usage. I wonder what the catch is.

Got my "final bill" in the post from the post office yesterday.... A detailed report on the numbers called, etc.. and telling me about my credit...
Also got another letter from the post office, with a letter ( which also acts as "the voucher" ) for my £0.57p credit...
So how much postage would that have cost ? surely they could have sent in the same envelope ? ? ?
When I told the missus about it... she said... "You`re not going to cash it in, are you ? " ( she was serious! !).. I replied,... "Of course..... they would be chasing me through the courts if I owed THEM 57p.."...
"Oh yes... I suppose so" , she replied...
