How Do I Check That My Broadband Service Is Cancelled

[#1]

Hi

I called customer support to cancel my boadband last month but I see on my account its says next payment due in November

How do I check that my service has been cancelled as per telephone call

Thanks

Are you cancelling your broadband completely, or moving to a new supplier?

If the latter, then the correct process is usually, (unless you are moving to a non Openreach based supplier such as Virgin Media), is to let the new supplier contact Plusnet. Contacting PN yourself can mess up the process.

I moved from BT to PN a few months ago. Right up until the transfer date, my BT account showed that I was their customer and they took a full month's money for the last few weeks that I was with them - the balance being refunded a couple of weeks later after the final bill was produced. I believe that is the correct process.

ISTR receiving a text / email from BT a few days after signing up with PN to confirm that I definitely wanted to leave them, (only contact them if this was an error, otherwise do nothing and let the transfer progress). Did you receive any message like this from Plusnet, (I'm guessing not, else you wouldn't be posting here?).

Just to stress that, cancelling with the existing supplier almost certainly WILL mess up the process.

Hi @chris2005, I'm really sorry that the account closure hasn't gone through for some reason. I can see that the service has moved over to  new provider now so I've closed the account and we'll generate a final bill within the next 21 days for you, if the account is in credit at that point it will get refunded back to you automatically.

Hi Adam 

I have received this message and in my account it says next bill due in December,  All my services have been cancelled so not sure why I'm still being charged.

Your bill

Your last bill:

1st November
£17.86

Your next bill is due on:

1st December

We are getting in touch to remind you that you're not currently in a minimum term contract for your broadband (Unlimited Business Broadband), and to inform you about some upcoming changes to the Plusnet business broadband service. You're currently paying the out of contract price of £14.88 per month. Please note all prices quoted are excluding VAT

Here's a reminder of your Plusnet services

• Broadband (Unlimited Business Broadband) speeds of up to 17Mb

Those figures suggest that your phone service is still active.  Who was the supplier you moved to?  You never said.  Does that supplier have their own network (such as Virgin Media).

There is some risk that the broadband got cancelled, but not the phone service as no one took it over in BT Openreach's space.  Best to call COTS.

Contact Customer Options Team (aka COTS)

COTs is the place to go to if you want to find out anything to do with your contract in respect of leaving, renewing or simply enquiring about early termination charges (ETCs). They have their own number and tend to answer quicker than the general customer service number.

Message from pulse8

Dear Mr -------

This is a reminder that we are due to take over your line (----------) on Friday 23rd of September, 2022.

The Openreach engineer should NOT need access to your building in order to complete the work.

I called plusnet at the same time and cancelled all services which they said had beeen done, cant understand how they can still charge for a service their not providing

Hey @chris2005,

I'm really sorry to read that the account's still open. I'm not quite sure what's gone wrong here, but I've made an amendment that should get this sorted out. I'll check back in on Monday to see if it's gone through properly and pick this back up with you if there have been any further issues
