General Billing Query

Hi all,

Been a customer with Plusnet for almost a year now and have only 1 issue.  I am never notified of a bill amount until my bank shows the payment being taken.

 

As a service provider, are you not supposed to provide the bill prior to payment?  I get the monthly e-mail, advusing me of my bill, but can never access it until you show your payment being received.  Minor inconvenience in what is a great overall experience with Plusnet.

 

Any assistance is appreciated.

 

Keith

Re: General Billing Query

If you go into Member Centre, under the heading Manage Account you will see 'View My Bill', click on that and you will see the amount payable. Hope this helps.

Hi Pete11,

 

Thanks for your response.

 

When i go to this part of the site it shows past bills, I only have access to my bill after it is paid so I never know what is owed until its paid.

 

Strange as I have never had this before with other providers.

 

Thanks

Re: General Billing Query

I receive an email a few days before the money is taken, is your email address correct in the member centre?

Hi Browni,

 

Everything is up-to-date.  I get an e-mail advising me that my bill is ready, but i can never see it until it hasbeen paid.  This is my transaction page and I am due to pay in a few days.

Re: General Billing Query

Strange, let's hope a staff member picks this up tomorrow and can explain the difference.

Fwiw, the subject line of mine is 'Advance notice of your Direct Debit payment.'

Re: General Billing Query

I see that.  Would be sufficient for me.  Yours at least shows the balance.  Hope I get a resolution too. Thanks for your assistance.

Re: General Billing Query

Do you pay by direct debit or by card?  I've a distant memory of the emails being different between direct debit and card, and possibly a difference between invoice and payment, but I could be mistaken.

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.

I'm not able to see this on your account. It doesn't appear to be genuine to me.

Mind sending me a PM with a screenshot of the e-mail and also the full headers too?

 

I can see we're sending you an e-mail every month on your bill date with the cost of your service on it.

One example can be found here.

Re: General Billing Query

I received an e-mail from this address today stating my payment had been taken and the amount.  Information matches payment taken.  Why am I only getting notice of the payment amount after the fact and never before?

Re: General Billing Query

Thanks for sending the screenshot over via private message.

We've investigated this and I can say this is not a phishing email. It's genuinely from us.

 

I'm sorry for any concern caused.
