My account adding my other half name

I would like to add my other half name on the billing, anyone have experience Plusnet allow to do so?

Much appreciated.

@kylesemon The account itself can only be in one name, others can be added as authorised contacts, but they will not be able to initiate any material change to the account - i.e. change product/re-contract &c.

Re: My account adding my other half name

thanks for your reply.  All i need is my name and her name show together on the billing invoice.

if added as authorised contacts, is her name will show with mine?

No - as I said, the account can only be in one name.

Re: My account adding my other half name

We can in fact change the name and/or address on your bills, if different from the account holder’s name and where we’re providing the services to. 

If we don’t pick this up tonight, we’ll get back to you tomorrow and we’ll be happy to arrange this.

@Anoush I think the OP wants his AND partners name on the account? Not possible, if I remember correctly.

Re: My account adding my other half name

I’m reading it as they’re not wanting their partner to be an account holder, but to show her name on the bills as well as theirs, which should be possible, because a bank account / direct debit can be in a joint name.

Re: My account adding my other half name

It turns out I was wrong. While a direct debit can be from a bank in a joint account holder's name, the billing name can only be in a single name on the account not two peoples' names. The billing address can however be different.

Sorry, @Gandalf - as much as I appreciate the offer, I don't think I can do it justice. 😀
