Line rental not refunded
Hello
After spending nearly 2 months getting my phone line switched to plusnet (one problem after another which without me constantly pushing would not have been resolved) I thought things would now run smoothly.
I paid for 12 months line rental in advance - my invoice then showed I was being charged for monthly line rental, so I rang up support and was told there is an issue with advance line rental and that every month until it is resolved the extra £13.99 would be debited along with my broadband fee, anytime calls and caller display charges. I wasn't happy about this but was assured that on the same day the money was debited, a refund would be issued and credited back to my account. This has not happened and as soon as I realised I rang again (on 19th June) to complain. I was told they were sorry and the money would be re-credited that day. It is now the 24th June and my bank account shows nothing from you.
I am not happy - I am on a really tight budget and the extra money going out sent me overdrawn - something I didn't realise for 3 days - and the whole point of me paying a years line rental in advance (out of my savings) was so I had less going out each month while things are so tight. In fact the whole reason I went with Plusnet in the first place was to consolidate my phone and broadband and thus pay less.
Is this going to happen every month and willl I have to constantly chase for refunds? Why is it taking so long to sort the issue out with Advance line rental - it seems it is not just me who has problems?
Thanks for any help on this

Thanks for the reply
The refund finally showed in my account on 1st July. I really really hope that this does not happen every month and cannot understand why the amount of my direct debit can not just be changed to the correct amount.
