Restricted Service, failed direct debit again. No answer from customer services.

For three months out of the last four I have had messages that direct debit has failed and service is restricted on the mobile my teenage daughter has so we can easily contact her and know where she is. Totally unreliable.
Every month get some fobbed off story and assurance it will not happen again. Been on the phone to customer services multiple times only to get cut off once it gets to about 20-25 minutes. Push options 3 to leave and they answer instantly.
And apparently this can affect your credit score as well.

Having spent nearly an hour and half on the phone, I was told someone would call me back. That was 2 days ago and now can't make calls.

I have been having this problem as well. It just goes on and on and on. You will find that although this problem is entirely the fault of Plusnet they will expect you to sort it out.

Hi there @knfruitbat

 

Thanks for getting back to us.

 

I am sincerely sorry to hear that the issues you and your daughter are experiencing are still occurring. I haven't been able to check if you sent the details Adam asked for above. Could you pop me a PM with the info requested above so I can investigate and help resolve this for you.

 

Thank you.

If they paid me minimum wage for the time I spent on the phone, they would owe me money. So effectively over doubling my phone bill by wasting my time.

You might like to have a look at the Resolver website. Their comments in respect of Plusnet are not particularly reassuring but they do tally with my experience.

Hello @knfruitbat,

 

Adam is currently out of office at the moment so we are unable to find this information that you have sent, please could you pop a PM over to me and I can investigate this further for you.

 

Thank you.

Thanks for the website connection, think I might be using that for more than just plusnet.

Is anyone going to fix this or do I need to send my account information to every member of staff individually?

Thanks for getting back to us.

There's further checks we need to carry out before we can investigate further.

Can you respond to the PM I've sent you?

Anyone else want my details? Stop sending me automated emails to tell me I have restricted service and my direct debit has failed, there is nothing I can do about that when your system is at fault.

@knfruitbat 

 

You should know by now that it seems PN staff seem to send these requests to customers having problems just before they go off shift.

I'm sure they dont do it deliberately they simply don't realise, no matter how many times they do it,

and actually addressing that their processes don't work in any way correctly or reasonably simply doesn't come to their mind.
