Hi @TheMightyAJ ,
Thank you for the PM which confirms what I was already told. However, as you'll see from the email I posted today, my account has been restricted again. I appreciate that you are trying to sort out the root cause of this and I'm happy to be patient a bit longer, but if you would be so kind as to switch my phone back on in the meantime that would be lovely.
Thanks

What about a daily pro-actively searching out all the unjustifiably restricted customers and re-enabling them - and blocking any repeat restrictions on those accounts for x weeks while you sort it?
Theres a couple of PN staff on here who might actually be usefully employed doing that rather than

Let alone REPEATEDLY raised with you ...
I think you may have misunderstood @TheMightyAJ's intention of offering assistance proactively should any further issues arise, separate to the billing issue that had been already been partially addressed via private ticket.
We (as with the other ISP's I've worked at) do rely on customers reporting issues - it just isn't feasible for us to monitor every account on file all of the time.
@Maryj, thanks for getting back to us.
We're sorry that you feel this way but can assure you that our back office teams are working hard to resolve the erroneous restriction issue ASAP.

I don't believe I have misunderstood at all
The issue was raised - and raised again, just as similar customers have raised THIS and other ongoing PN issues repeatedly affecting them day after day in other threads, but YOU should already know this is a recurring issue.
There is a key difference between customers raising issues,
and customers repeatedly being impacted by the same already raised issue again and again (or just continuously)
- particularly when you should KNOW its a recurring issue - which customers initially wont be aware of.
I dont accept that doing the same thing as has already NOT (or at best temporarily) addressed the issue, and only then when you get chased, counts as a solution - or even basic competency.
A competent company would have quickly stopped these inappropriate restrictions and messages even if it cost them a few quid in genuine account restrictions being missed for a short while.
It IS part of your license requirements to treat customers fairly and reasonably.
Let me ask a question
How many legitimate account restrictions do PN action daily?
10? 50? 100? 500?
Even at 500 a day a manual intervention or simple temporary block until its resolved would be worth the cost to prevent such appallingly bad customer service and perception.
.. and would mean you CS here wouldn't be failing to properly resolve the same issue again and again.

II' sure you are doing everything you can but I think this is out of your scope. There is a major problem with the Plusnet banking area. I get excellent coverage and good service except for this. But this is enough to make things so uncertain. What happens if I'm away and suddenly my service is restricted?
You'll do your best but ultimately it's not something you can fix.

When I got the email about reaching the smart cap limit, I logged on to my account to make a payment of £5 (this was on Monday the 11th). I still don't see this being credited to my account, but my card has been charged.

Hi @MIchaelB1, can you drop me a private message confirming your full name, address and mobile number and I'll take a look at this for you.

Despite my account being in credit now (I think), I still got a text message the middle of last month saying a payment would be taken. However the direct debit date has been and gone and no payment was taken again. My service is still working, for now, but should I be worried that the direct debit still doesn't seem to be working?

Hi @MIchaelB1,
We're really sorry for any inconvenience caused but we have to pass security with yourself if it has been more than 24 hours between responses.
You can also speak with our Mobile team directly by dialling 500 from your mobile when using a Plusnet SIM. Our mobile customer services will be more than happy to assist and will stop you from having to provide security details via PM.
Kind Regards

Yes, I suspected that might be the case.
Sigh...
