@Weirdy346 

 

If you dont mind telling us all, How many times have you given examples to PN staff on the phone and here?

 

Hard to prove the on the phone ones - you would need to SAR them unless you recorded the calls,

and the SAR would depend on the staff you were talking to actually noting that you gave the examples,

 

but if you click on your profile icon up the page you should see private messages - click on sent messages

 

three months is beyond ridiculous for an issue to be outstanding.

When I signed up with PN - VM (another EE MVNO) customers couldn't ring my PN number for 5 weeks when I first transferred here - number not recognised/line dead tone. I was in the process of porting out then when they resolved it.

 

I believe it must be all to common on plusnet - both on new sim + number, and on ports and sometimes it would seem when a CS person 'does something' to your account from what I can make out.

My port out didn't seem to be going right either (Just some of the  EE MVNO parts - mainly PN) - but I believe o2 sorted it when I spoke with them - dead easy..

 

After porting out I've now also had the email saying I'm in credit - so they aren't closing the account properly either - probably part of their port out incompetence matching their setup and port in failures - among many other regular failures

 

(and NO PN staff - I'm leaving it for the regulator as evidence so don't bother asking if I want it fudging)

 

 

 

 

regards

Rob

Jubby

I have been in contact with your people either by phone, online chat and now this forum since DECEMBER 2018.

AND this morning I've just received a text message saying my account has been suspended and that I've stopped my Direct Debit..........NOT TRUE regards the DD....

 

This is a(nother) PN billing system issue and most probably separate to your ongoing issue

Re: The never ending story of........................ My number not recognised !!!

This is fun isn't it.................

Yesterday (and quite a few times lately) I received another text saying my Direct Debit had been cancelled (No it hasn't and my account suspended......Your partially right as I don't receive all my calls as mentioned previously)

This morning I've had a another text saying I'm being charged a £10 Late Payment charge which is being added to my account after THEY failed to take a payment on the agreed contract dates.

Here is a message for you Helpdesk people.

Return ALL my previous payments + whatever you feel necessary and stop insulting my intelligence and understanding of how you cant do anything of use whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Ill carry on with my complaints to Ofcom and Resolver

@RobC @Gandalf @Jubby @Mads . I've sent at least 4 different lots of Phone numbers,Models and networks info in and I could provide current info from another of my phone/number/networks setups (which doesn't works) but I'm bored of repeating the same exercise over and over again......

Sorry to hear this.

Are you free for a call today to discuss this? 

Feel free to PM me the best contact number and a rough time frame you'd be available.

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

Re: The never ending story of........................ My number not recognised !!!

I'm afraid we can't discuss your account publicly, but feel free to PM me instead with your full name and full address and I'd be happy to discuss this with you in private following completing our data protection process.

With regards to the connection problem you're experiencing, simply put we need newer examples sadly. Are you able to compile 3 examples in the format we've advised of and PM me so we can get this investigated by MVNO please?

Thats interesting considering two PN staff here have apparently claimed theres no record of any being sent @Jubby  and @Gandalf ...

 

 

 

 

@Weirdy346 

 

I understand your not wanting to take this farce out of the public eye,

Perhaps deal with the issue with @Gandalf via PM but post suitably redacted of personal info parts of the conversation here

.. unless of course the PN staff say you cant quote them ... in which case 'tell us that in your own words' that they have said this ...

 

Dont stop your formal complaint processes - PN are delivering squat so far.

In fact, it seems they are doing NOTHING with these examples they keep asking you/us for - as many here suspect is commonly the case, and they continue charging while they fail to progress the issue.

 

regards

@Gandalf @Jubby @Mads @EmilyD 

I won't normally answer unidentified numbers but if someone calls me at 13:30 UK time precisely, I'll pick up and have a conversation

@RobC 

When I first became aware of the missing calls in DECEMBER, I first went to the telephone help desk and then moved on to email help desk before finding this forum and bringing it out in public.

They've all done the same thing......................

Sod all..................

Re: The never ending story of........................ My number not recognised !!!

To be honest, I wouldn't stand for it.

 

The service has been poor and unreliable even with my VERY limited use over the last year.

But I was in the process of moving straight out again when they seemed to have resolved my main issue, and I thought 'ok sorted now'

but repeated clear failures of family and friends to even be able to call me upto and beyond Christmas .. in the middle of towns.

Sod that.

 

Its only over the last week or so using o2 with my main number that I am beginning to understand just how many times calls just didn't come through with PN

 

 

Early days yet but even the very cheap 3.99 ID (500, unl, 500) sim I'm trying at the moment has been clearly superior to plusnets service and simply worked from day on. Similar low signal strength to PN (inferior to O2 here) but just gets the calls anyway where calls to the PN sim went into a black hole.

... and o2 simply leave EE let alone Plusnet for dead service and supply wise as does ID in the couple of test contacts I've made with them

 

Plusnet really are the botton dwellers as far as mobile services go IMO. It will be a Looooong time before I ever even consider using them again.

 

and that will need a lot more who apply the effort of @Gandalf, but with far more actual effect and success than he currently gets, and a darn site fewer of the fob off merchants that seem to be like a covering of barnacles on Plusnets bottom.

 

Perhaps just leave, demand your money back for undelivered service and save yourself some grief.

... although my current experience is it won't even end then.

Re: The never ending story of........................ My number not recognised !!!

Oh, and you should probably expect to start getting notifications that PN will be restricting you service that doesn't work properly because YOU have cancelled you DD - even though you haven't

@Gandalf @Jubby @EmilyD @Mads 

I've received no phone call that you suggested so I have cancelled the Direct Debit, given my PAC to another network and am requesting repayment of all payments made since the start of my contract, on Order Date 23/11/2019

Re: The never ending story of........................ My number not recognised !!!

And just to confirm that I have just had a conversation with [CSA Removed] on the cancellations team and reminded her that my number is being transferred to another provider today and no further payments will be made.

I will continue with my complaints process via Resolver and OFCOM to get my money back if not more.

Moderator's note by Dick (Strat): CSA name(s) removed (to an area staff can see) as per Forum rules.
