Arghhhhh!!!!!!!!

Ok anyone want to make sense out of this situation as I'm confused ok so 14th of September I signed up for a new plusnet account on a talk talk phone line thought oh ok going to go smoothly......... anything BUT! The service was activated as planned on the 9th October BUT on the wrong phone line I.E. Plusnet took over a phone line they should not have so plusnet have had to do the order again but due to them taking over the wrong line BT closed the account on the line plusnet should NOT have taken over and gets better plusnet threatning to charge us 208 pounds for terminating the service on the wrong line they activated in the first place! Anyone confused because i sure as hell am here!

Hi @johnsemple123

 

I'm sorry to hear about the issues you have encountered. Did you sign up over the telephone or website?

 

Have you contacted our Provisioning team regarding this? The notification of cancellation charges would be waived if you wish to stay with us and have the correct line taken over. 

 

Kind Regards

And the justification for the customer to fund rectification of a plusnet error is?

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: ARGHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Hi @MauriceC 

 

Whilst we can appreciate your comment, it's jumping to conclusions. If there is more than one line at premises, it is possible to take over the incorrect one. Sometimes, it can be that the line is registered incorrectly. Cancellation fee notifications would go out automatically if we cancel the line or the customer wishes to leave altogether. We can waive these fees by taking over the correct line but your comment is surmising the customers is going to be left holding a bill for us to fix the issue which isn't the case. 

 

We'll wait for an update from @johnsemple123 

 

Thank you.

Re: ARGHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Right where we are we done all of this online erm we specifically mentioned a phone number and through the process was shown pictures (as BT sent a letter advising that the line that should have not been taken over was going to be taken over) concerns were raised but was advised by BT to ignore it obviously that didn't happen as plusnet took the line over anyway i have been advised that the 208 pounds charge was a error and ignore it but i have noticed that the well effectively temporary line that the broadband is on is way below the minimum speeds that we should apparently be getting I've uploaded a attachment to prove that erm apparently plusnet will put the service on the correct line but when got no idea and noticed that apparently they've moved the phone service to the line that they should have taken over well at least i think honestly don't know where I'm coming or going with the company

Re: Arghhhhh!!!!!!!!

WELL! I thought this whole chaotic situation was sorted..............THEN I looked and seen the bill plusnet produced.........................this company have charged us £148.71 for a early termination charge when the account has NOT been closed down and the service is running fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just what the hell is going on now
