Still taking payments months after account cancelled!

As above, I cancelled my service with you at the end of August and changed to a different provider (talktalk) but I've just noticed you've still been taking monthly direct debits for a service I'm not even connected to! I'm sure you're aware but you're breaking the law by charging me for a service I'm not using, so I hope you'll be able to refund me the mistaken payments in short order with minimal hassle.
It looks to me like you've taken September, October, November and December's payments of £18.49, which adds up to £73.96 that I'm owed currently. If you can't refund me quickly I'll cancel the direct debit with my bank and claim it back from you using my banks direct debit guarantee, however I'd rather not go to the trouble if it can be avoided.
I have attached a screenshot of my latest bill which hopefully has all the details you need to get this sorted.

@Brendan1989, you probably need to edit the bill you attached, as it shows your name and address, and this is a public forum that is visible to anyone.
It won't be any consolation, but you are by no means the only person affected by the new "improved" billing system.

Plusnet should be deeply sorry that they are not taking any proactive action on the results of their failed billing system.
Do plusnet seriously wait until some ex customer notices that they are being charged for something that is not provided or requested?
Are things that bad? Yes that is a rhetorical question. Not that I expected an answer anyway.

I've had the following message on a new support ticket. Should I be concerned that there is no mention of refunding the £73 taken in error? It's no good saying those invoices 'aren't owed' when the payments have been taken via direct debit anyway!
Dear Mr Brown, Thank you for contacting us on our Community Forum. I am deeply sorry to hear about the issue you have addressed to us. I can see you have been receiving invoices from us, after your services was cancelled on 18/09/2018. This is an error on our system, these invoices are not owed. In September, we had a scheduled maintenance update on our billing system. It appears your account was impacted with the update, as you were midway in cancelling your services during this time period. I have raised this issue to our Billing Operation team, to stop these invoice being sent to you and rectify the error on our system. Usually, when raising a ticket to the department they aim to work on the task within 10 working days. I do apologise for any inconvenience caused by this. We appreciate your continued patience, throughout this process. Should you require any further information feel free to contact us through our Social Media channels or you call us on 0800 432 0200. Thank you. Kind regards, |

I would update your ticket to explicitly ask for a refund a.s.a.p. Plusnet aren't very proactive in returning money.

Thanks for posting the ticket info. Always interesting to see how little plusnet appear to be doing.
A cut and paste generic message is a great help.

However I'm still getting emails saying payment will be taken for the latest month. I want to get this sorted as although I've cancelled the direct debit they still managed to take a payment somehow last month 🙄 I've attached a screenshot of my latest 'bill'.
Is there anybody at PlusNet competent enough to sort this issue out once and for all?
