Re: Refund on leaving and last bill

Lots of people are in the same situation. The update of Plusnet's billing system on 1st September appears to have made it almost impossible for Plusnet to get final bills and refunds correct. I suggest you cancel your Direct Debit if you haven't already, as their system is still capable of billing you and debiting money long after your account is "closed". I'm awaiting a refund for a month's bill that they took the month after my account was closed, and they can't refund the previous month's pro-rata payment until they can generate a final bill - I've been waiting for that for 6 weeks now.

Re: Refund on leaving and last bill

I believe you are supposed to wait 8 weeks after first contacting Plusnet before the dispute organisation will look at it. Once they do they look at it they cannot actually force Plusnet to do anything. They're likely to just suggest that Plusnet refund the money they owe you - which I'm sure Plusnet are trying to do anyway. The problem is that Plusnet have implemented a billing system that doesn't work, and nobody knows how to mend it - they have been trying to fix it for 3 months now, and still it doesn't work. And Plusnet management don't care. I feel sorry for the support bods who have to answer all the complaints, but are powerless to actually do anything.

In other threads it has been suggested that anyone with problems should complain to Ofcom - they won't look at individual cases, but will investigate a company if problems are common (and they are!).

Hi @Richeld

As far as I can see from this ticket your account have been updated regarding his issue today. Apologies that I have no fresh info on this - i'm afraid that the issue is with the relevant team and we are unable to speed this process up.

 

@corringham you are right in your timescales & information. 

 

Thanks

MoR

 I shall wait to see if there is any progress on this ticket raised today but I find this is a very dissapointing  company response with tv advert that makes out it has great customer relations when it is clearly falling to live up to its hype

Re: Refund on leaving and last bill

I see now no  one is getting there money back any time soon even when you get through to them on the phone and they raise ticket with your complaint no one answers the ticket it obvious this company is useless  can not get any movement  on my refund and just about given up hope ever seeing it and it's a clear case of a large company taking money that know they never going to give back you very little you can do about it
