Problem updating address via online account

I am in a catch 22 situation. I recently moved home and updated my address in the Personal section of my online account. The address shows perfectly when I view it online. However, when my bill is produced at the end of the month, the address shown on the bill is incorrect. For some reason 'Flat nn' that was correct for my previous address is prefixing my actual address. The bill shows my name, then, 'Flat nn N XXXX Grove'. The 'N XXXX Grove' is correct. The 'Flat nn' is incorrect and should not be there. However, I cannot remove it. I have re-entered my address several times but nothing has changed.

The serious problem comes when I make calls for support. Because the address is different on the bill to what I have on my account, support refuse to speak to me. I have a chat line conversation where I provided information that I could not have possibly known if I had not been the account holder, but to no avail, and the chat line conversation was cut.

I tried calling, and again went through a rigmarole of questions and answers which got me nowhere, and again, I provided information that only the account holder could possibly have known; but to no avail. I was only able to get support to talk to me once I provided my bank sort and account code.

Just today, I have opened up my bill and low and behold the address is still wrong. I know immediately that I am in for an unpleasant time if I call support because I am not going to be believed.

It seems crazy that support seems to be relying on a single item of information to verify a caller/account holder; especially as in my case that information is flawed. I have looked for an email or a physical address I can use to seek support but there appears to be none. I am in position where PlusNets's database has an error that I cannot correct, and is causing me serious issues in not being able to even report it.

Any serious solution considered.

I am probably being very thick, but what does 'via PM' mean?

Re: Problem updating address via online account

I’m having the same issue. Customer service can’t authorise me with the address on the bills and same address which appears on the account information tab of the online login. Help?

Try contacting Mads above directly, and I'm sure he can fix it. Nothing you can do yourself if your issue is the same as mine.
