Plusnet Bill Overcharge

New contract started in June, contract for £29.50 per month, but for the last 2 months I have been charged £56.38. I had thought that the initial high charge was due to changing of contracts so disregarded it, but I've been charged the same again.

@Minipep 

Is the new contract for the SAME service or for a switch to FTTP?  If a new FTTP service, has it been installed yet?  The new contract price will not be levied until the new service is provisioned.

This is a frequent misunderstanding, the contract (and its price) is not a subscription for generic service provision from the point of agreement, it is for a specific service product from the date that service is commissioned.  You would not be the first to have signed a new contract for FTTP only to find that BT Openreach have issues installing the service.  The existing service product then goes into out of contract billing ... at a much higher rate.

If you had a confirmed activation date which has been missed, then you should get automatic compensation for a delayed installation, which will more than cover the higher charges.  If you did not have a confirmed date (just a planning date) the automatic compensation scheme will not apply.  There will need to be a discussion with the business to seek a good will adjustment of fees.

If there is no change of product ... then something has gone wrong ... as per @jab1 's advice, call support.
