Price has increased, yet I wasn't I notified of any increase

[#1]

Logged into my bank account to see that you're now charging me £9.99 rather than the £8.50 I usually pay.  Why is this and why haven't I been notified about any increase in charges?

Do you really think that increasing customer's payments on the sly without informing them  is good business practice?

[#2]

Has a discount applied to your account come to and end?

[#3]

@Mav Nope, my £1.25 referral was still taken off, but the base price has jumped from £8.50 to £9.99.  Now what comes out of my bank is £8.74 rather than the £7.25 it's been for God knows how long.

It's not the increase itself that's [-Censored-]ing me off, it's the fact that they thought they could increase the price without informing me about any increases beforehand.  Surely there has to be a law about that somewhere.

So your price you have been paying is £8,50 a month , then will your referral (£1.25) that brings it down to £.7.25 a month.

As PN do not offer a standard broadband package at £.8.50 a month but do at £9.99 (before you referral discount)  you must have had a discount  (£1.49 a month) which has now ended.

If you login to the PN member area have a look at a few of your bills , do you see a discount applied of £1.49 , which is not on your most recent invoice?

The price increase isn't until 29th June, snippet of the email I got on 25th may

As @Mav has suggested, it does sound like discounts on your account may have expired.

The base price for Unlimited ADSL broadband has been £9.99 for quite some time. If you were previous paying £8.50 for this, it would suggest you were on an offer giving you a discounted rate.

Hey @Azagoth,

Further to Harry's post, it looks like you were advised that your discounts would only be for a certain period of time as per this ticket on your account when your contract was agreed.
