Plusnet attempting to bill after broadband cancellation

Hi,

 

We cancelled our broadband service last month (this took two attempts - the first cancellation request disappeared without trace). Plusnet sent a confirmation email on 24 August 2017 which indicated that the service cancellation date was 1/9/2017.

 

Since then we have received multiple requests for further payment which Plusnet attempted to take on 7/9/2017.

 

How can we get Plusnet to acknowledge that we have cancelled their service?

 

Many thanks,

 

Tim

You may have outstanding payments for calls or termination costs, are you absolutely sure you have cleared all money owing to PlusNet?

If you have cancelled your broadband and not moved to another supplier you will be liable for cancelation fees - you should be able to get more information of any charges in the member centre.

Re: Plusnet attempting to bill after broadband cancellation

Thanks for the reply, but no - this is Plusnet trying to take their regular monthly payment after the service has been cancelled.

 

The wording on their message is

 

> We couldn't take a payment for your Plusnet broadband account
> Unfortunately, we've not received the regular payment for your service. This was due on 07-09-2017.

 

when the cancellation confirmation we received last month read:

 

> We're emailing you to let you know that as your cancellation request has
> now been placed. Your cancellation will take place on 01/09/2017.

 

I have spent hours on hold on the phone with Plusnet trying to sort this out. Cancelling a service should NOT be this difficult.

How is this still happening? You had a huge fine from OFCOM for doing this!
