Hi

I called your customer service they admitted it was their fault and would sort it.

info: You are now chatting with Andre.
*******: : I've just had a bill from bt charging me £16.99 line rental however I switched to you last month. Last months line rental I paid you
Andre: I see, we'll need to check your account.
Andre: Please may I take the first and last characters of your password please?
*******: : link:csa removed
Andre: I don't believe we ever actually took over your phone.
Andre: I'll have to place a new phone order
*******: : Took joint broadband and phone
*******: : with you and last month you charged me line rental
Andre: Well that was the intention yes, but the phone side of things never transferred, hence the old supplier still billing you.
*******: : thats not my faultt
Andre: I never said it was Graham
*******: : ok but why was line rental charged last month
Andre: you paid that months bill (broadband and phone) before either service was active as we bill in advance.
Andre: I have arranged for the phone order to be placed again, please monitor the progress of that on TICKET: *****
*******: : will i be refunded for last month?
Andre: Any money that we have taken for services you did not will be refunded yes, but only once the issue is resolved as we will not know how much is owed until that point.
Andre: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Graham Boyd: is there anything i need to do?
Andre: No, now that we are aware of the problem, we will take care of all of that for you. You should probably query your refund though once we advise you the phone is with us.
*******: ok will i lose internet connection at any time?
Andre: no the phone transfer should go through independently.
********: ok thanks
Andre: It’s been great chatting to you today. I really appreciate your time and would love to hear any feedback that you might have.

Re: BT Still charging me for my landline

Thank you. Looks like it going to get fixed now as BT sent me a leaving email.
Also I am owed 1 months line rental I paid for and never received, cam you please check my direct debit has been set as I had to pay the 1st payment by credit card as the direct debit  hadn't been set up (on your side)
Thanks
I'll use the forum in the future as this seems to get things done.

Re: BT Still charging me for my landline

I issued the refund at the same time I placed the order. Apologies that I didn't confirm this at the time.
Technically it shouldn't have been refunded, as it would have still covered the first month of line rental from the time your phone line comes over to us, however I did refund it as a gesture of goodwill due to the delays in bringing your phone service over to us. Basically this way you'll get 1 month free line rental Wink
