MY account is closing apparently.

I couple of weeks ago I received this in an email.
'This is a reminder about your recent request to move your phone line and call plan to another company.
We're really sorry to hear you're thinking of leaving us. We're treating this as a request to end your telephone service agreement with us.'
I don't understand why I have been sent that as I don't have a PlusNet phone line.
Then last night I get another email saying
'We have received confirmation that your service has ceased. We would like to thank you for your custom and confirm we'll soon be taking a payment of £69.09 to cover the final outstanding fees held on your Plusnet account. This will leave your bank or building society account on or after 22/11/2013.'
I don't remember canceling anything from Plusnet. The only thing I have that's from PN is broadband. I'm no t happy about 70 quid being taken out of my account either.
Regards
Nathan

Either way I'd have taken the first email as warning that something was up and queried it with PN. Have you called them to see what might be going on ?

We received notice that an LLU PSTN cease was happening, it's now completed unfortunately so your broadband service has been ceased by your new phone provider.
Basically, broadband is counted as an asset on a phone line - in a similar kind of way as voicemail, or caller display. As such when a phone line is ceased, so is the broadband. The trouble is, in order to move your phone line over to them, your new provider ceased the existing line (and therefore the broadband) and replaced it with their own.
I'm afraid the cease has gone through and as it's cancelled the service we've had to treat it as a cancellation of your account as well, hence the remaining contract fees have to be charged.
Hope that helps explain.
EDIT: As it's an LLU line we can't actually supply our broadband on it as it's a BT Wholesale product, which only works on BT lines.

Quote from: Cubey I don't remember canceling anything from Plusnet. The only thing I have that's from PN is broadband.
Did your new phone line provider explain clearly to you that they would be replacing (rather than taking over) your existing phone line and thereby you will loose your existing broadband service? If not, then this is sharp practice - in respect of your broadband (and email) service you have effectively been slammed and you should therefore report this to Ofcom.
Who is your new supplier?
I would also ask PN to switch your account to email only so that you do not loose access to your email as well. You now have a right bloody mess to sort out. Some of these LLU operators should be shut down over the way they behave.
Good luck with your new provider - if it is the one I ave in mind, you will need lots of it!

From what I can see:
1) You decided to change providers to a full LLU service.
2) PN informed you what was happening
3) Several weeks later you seek clarification on it.
it would seem that the unnamed provider didn't explain clearly to you what was happening, misled you or perhaps you didn't understand what this implied.
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

1. The OP decides they're going to move house.
2. They notify their phone provider (not PN) in order to cancel the phone service at the current property.
3. The phone cancellation triggers the broadband cancellation process and notification from PN. The wording of this notification does not correctly describe the circumstances.
4. The OP ignores the email and doesn't link it to the phone cease they've initiated from their phone provider.
5. The description "LLU PSTN Cease" introduces further confusion as LLU is not involved.
It would be useful if the OP could, calmly, describe what they've done and what they wanted to happen? Did they want to continue with PN at their new property? Did they notify PN at any stage that they were moving house?
I assume that the notification that PN gets from BTW for a cease makes no distinction as to whether this is caused by a move to LLU or cancellation of the phone service completely as the outcome is the same?

1. a high-speed network access to the internet;
2. helpdesk services; and
3. other applications and features as described at http://www.plus.net/broadband.
4. You will need to have a Plusnet or BT telephone line to enable you to receive your Plusnet Broadband service.
Cubey has (unwittingly) broken the contractual agreement by cancelling the phone service without giving Plusnet any notice. He also ignored the first email from Plusnet when if he'd rung them up to find out what was going on something could have been sorted. I really do struggle to see where Plusnet are at fault in this!

The point the OP makes in his first post and then clarifies in his second is that the wording of the email he received was incorrect - PN informed him that the telephone service provided by them was ceasing even though they didn't provide such a service.
If PN had sent an email saying
Quote "We have received notification that you have cancelled your phone line and this means that we can no longer provide the broadband you pay us for. As such we treat this as a cancellation of the broadband agreement you have with us and we'll be in touch shortly to confirm any early termination charges (if any) and disconnetion fees"
then the situation may have been clearer?
