Phone lined being used by another & getting billed for it!

[#1]

Hello,
I have been being charged for phone calls that I have not made. I have not once used my phone, I am only subscribing to rent the line for my internet connection. In the past few months I have been charged about 80 quid for calls I did not make. This wasn't flagged to me until recently has the amounts have been small. This past holiday season I was charged for international calls. This could not have been me for many reasons first, as previously stated, I have not once used my phone, secondly I was out of the country for the holidays and thirdly I am the only resident so no one else was in the flat to use.
I have been waiting now for 1.5+hrs on the support line to get ahold of someone. This is by far the worst customer service I have ever experienced for a problem that I did not cause. Plusnet, please amend and refund me! I do not know how else to contact you and make you amend the situation. I've now tried calling, Twitter, forum, and your website to no avail.
Regards from a  very unhappy customer.

The Digital Care Team who monitor the forum (and twitter) work Monday to Friday so it could be Monday before they respond.
Rather than waiting on the phone you can contact Plusnet by raising a question using the Help Assistant. The following "I have been billed incorrectly" link should be suitable

To set the scene perhaps "I am being billed for phone calls I did not make and wish to challenge all of these" could be entered as the first paragraph.
Then the first paragraph of your post.
Hope this helps and you get the problem resolved quickly.

One thing you could try - if you have a phone - dial 17070 and see what the number actually is

You could also ring your mobile and see if the correct number is displayed.

Also visually check the wiring from your master socket back as far as you can see it towards the telephone pole or street termination box and check there isn't anything hooked up or tapped off along the way.
It's quite rare for this tampering but it does happen and it's quite easy to do. More often there is a mistake at the exchange with literally crossed wires or a billing issue.

I had this once a few years ago - the BT engineer had crossed the lines in the green cabinet with my next but one neighbour - I took 4 hrs to work out why I kept getting calls for someone called Kate then realised they were new to the street..
I only found it by ringing my own number.

This doesn't look to be a problem with the setup of your account which suggests there may be a crossed line somewhere. I can see that you called on Saturday evening and your call was passed to faults, but nobody then opened your account - did the call drop? It'll be best for you to call in again to report this.
