14 day cooling off period then taking 3 months services from my bank account

Hi

just a heads up to all the customers that read this

I was mis-sold a product from plusnet and when I spoke to the tech team to clarify that plusnets broadband would do what I required the tech lady seemed uneducated and asked me "what is a VPN". so I cancelled my broadband/telephone as it was unfit for my working from home and I wasn't prepared to gamble that it would work.

 

All seemed fine, I got an email to say that there was no charge as I was in the 14 day cooling off period. (10 days)

 

To my horror these last few weeks as I noticed that the direct debits that was supposed to have been cancelled were being taken out. 3 months in total. I quickly got online and cancelled my direct debit on my banking app then contacted PlusNet.

 

The call took nearly 2 hours to get through and I was told that their updated system had issues and they would send out to my address a Cheque for the services I did not receive. This deadline for the cheque was today and it never arrived.

To make things worse when I cancelled the Direct debit I got numerous TxTs and emails threatening me to restrict my services and have additional costs put onto my account as the direct debits had been cancelled.

 

So this was the last straw.

I have passed all the correspondences to the Ombudsman and also the research team at the BBC watchdog programme.

 

I have spent about 12 hours in phone calls over the last 3 months and they have gotten me no where Once the Ombudsman has dealt with this Company I will be seeking litigation

From the information I have harvested here regarding lost payments I was told that a cheque was sent to me on 9/11/2018

I will need proof of this so that I can collate all the evidence when I take litigation. I suspect like me all the other customers have been allegedly lied to regarding payments  via cheque have been sent out to the customers properties.

I DO NOT HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH YOU. I NEVER DID

10 days into the contract it was cancelled

This was over 4 months ago and still you have been trying to steal money from me

and send me lies in TxTs and emails and even worse promised me everything would get sorted from all the phone calls I have made in the last 4 weeks to no avail

I have further sent the emails to the Ombudsman to further show that this company is fundamentally flawed and does not treat its customers at all

 

The cheque has still not arrived I have had no communication with Robert *****

Now on the phone in a queue  to speak to yet another Customer service agent who will say the same old lies that the countless other have said/promised.

 

I cant wait to see this on the TV Watchdog
