Additional call charges when I don't have a phone

Hi,
I've just been charged £22.77 for additional call charges when I don't even have a home phone. I only use my phone line for the internet. Can someone please look into this as apparently I made 24 phone calls between the 11th of October to the 19th of October (list attached).
It would appear that wires have been crossed somewhere? Or I've been charged for someone else's calls?

Please let me know asap, cheers

Have you tried ringing 17070 and checking that it reports the correct phone number?

Re: Additional call charges when I don't have a phone

Hi,

I would do (or call my mobile) but as I've said I don't even own a home phone. If Plusnet fob me off, I'll just start calling the numbers and try to identify who's been calling them

You can buy a wired phone from Argos for £6.99. It's always useful to have one in the cupboard for fault finding should you have an internet fault.

Re: Additional call charges when I don't have a phone

Interesting that there are a couple of 123 calls in there, a few minutes apart. Typical of some of the less good BT Openreach contractors when testing lines...

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Re: Additional call charges when I don't have a phone

Hi,
I agree with the 123 numbers. A bit engineer might of mixed the lines up? Only happened for 8 days so someone's probably fixed their mistake but I'm still out of pocket. Hopefully Plusnet will reply soon with what's happened

Hi,
Totally agree. Must be a serious cockup somewhere. But I would if expected a reply to say they're looking into it

Re: Additional call charges when I don't have a phone

Hi @jeldan,

Please accept my apologies for the issue with your service.

Having tested the line, I have detected a fault at the exchange and this has now been raised to our suppliers. They have advised an estimated response time of 06/11/18 anytime up to midnight. Once the fault is resolved we can then refund you for any call charges generated as a result of the fault.

You can monitor the progress of the fault on this ticket and our faults team will retest the line and get back in touch shortly after the estimated response time.

Thank you.
