Struggling to get accurate monthly bills

Sad  For about nine months or so now I've been struggling to get accurate Plusnet monthly bills for one reason or another.  :)I have always been very satisfied with my Plusnet service and think the staff are excellent on the telephone and in responding to "tickets."  However - the inaccurate bills keep coming.  I want to stay with Plusnet but can't keep up the struggle indefinitely.  Does anyone have any ideas how to get Plusnet to solve my billing problems once and for all?
Thanks in anticipation -

Re: Struggling to get accurate monthly bills

The only way I could get things sorted once and for all was by employing an ultimatum. Although even then I've had one or two incorrect bills, but thankfully nothing recurring.

Re: Struggling to get accurate monthly bills

I'm looking at this now.  Looks like you've been being double charged for the Caller Display feature.  I'm trying to work out why and fix.

Re: Struggling to get accurate monthly bills

Ok.  Worked it out.  You've gone through an account change in the past and for some strange reason one of your call features from that old account type hasn't been cancelled properly!  Should be an easy fix to stop you being billed for it which should go out today.
We've raised a problem (61376) for the work and we'll be double checking if we have any others of these occurring.  (I've never seen it before so it's unlikey!)

Re: Struggling to get accurate monthly bills

SmileyThank you all - especially Kelly. I'll be so glad to have it fully resolved.  I wasn't only being double charged for caller display - the dates were wrong and, instead of just one 99 p per month, I was also being charged an additional £2.50  for caller display.
I understand the charging for 0845 numbers etc is also all in hand.
Thank you, again.

Re: Struggling to get accurate monthly bills

We've found 3 other customers affected like this.  Will be fixing them too.  They won't roll till tomorrow now probably due to not being able to get some QA time today.

Re: Struggling to get accurate monthly bills

Hello Kelly -
I've received a few emails from [mremoved] and I'm just concerned in case these issues start going round in circles again - eg once more  being reviewed in a week etc. with no resolution.   Would you be good enough to investigate, please?
Many thanks

Re: Struggling to get accurate monthly bills

Hello Kelly - I apologise for including the name - I understand and have deleted the name from the communications below.  The problems as you know is that they have been on going for such a very long period of time - now it is going to be reviewed again on 10th May:
"Dear Miss Crichton,

If there is anything else that we can help with then please do not hesitate to get back in touch. You can reply to this ticket through the Member Centre at http://www.plus.net or you can call us on 0845 140 0200.

Your comment 10:35pm, Sunday 25th April 2010
The Question 32802013 has been released from hold and sent back to CSC - G
From what Kelly said in the forum I was hopeful that the problems of double charging, wrong dates and wrong amounts for caller display as well as the charging for 0845 numbers were well on the way to being resolved. I hope this is possible because I wouldn't want to go round in circles with this again. The refund Kelly mentioned has not arrived in my bank account yet but I'm sure it will.
On this occasion, from Kelly, I really did think things were being finally resolved. Please let me know as soon as possible.
Many thanks.

Regarding "Help Assistant Question [ 32802013 ] has now been returned to the CSC - G pool. A member of our Support Team will investigate your issue as soon as possible" I am anxious for the continuing issues of considerable long-standing to be finally resolved this time - particularly as my next bill will be issued around 10 May 2010.
I do not wish these unresolved issues to continue to go round in circles again with no definite resolutions being reached. Can you reassure me on this, please? The issues have remained unresolved for too long, as you know.
I look forward to hearing from regarding the final resolution to these matters as quickly as possible, please.
Kind regards
Christina

Re: Struggling to get accurate monthly bills

Hello Kelly -
Another email has arrived - delaying the reply and resolution of the problems again - this time until 11th May.  Can you help to sort it out at all, please?  This is a copy of this evening's email: 
"We are unable to answer your Question [ 32802013 ] at the moment. The Support Team will keep the Question open, and will provide an update as soon as possible.
The following comment has been added to the Question:
Dear Miss Crichton,

I'll be glad of your help - especially as my next bill is due so soon (around 10th May) and I am anxious not to have the same problems again this month.  According to the above reply, it won't be reviewed until 11th May and I'm hoping you will be able to intervene.
Kind regards

Re: Struggling to get accurate monthly bills

Hi,
The tidy up to remove your incorrect call feature will be going today.  I've personally seen a billing run performed on your account in our test system and seen that you weren't charged for it.
Once you bill, if you spot a problem come straight here and flag it and I'll have another look.

Re: Struggling to get accurate monthly bills

Hello Kelly - My monthly bill arrived today and things are definitely looking much better, thank you I'm not sure what the Special Offer discount of £2.50 is for but I think it must include the 0845 call (just 17 pence) charged for 08 April.
All the dates apart from the caller display are fine but caller display is still from 22 April to 21 May when all the others are in sync at 10 May to 09 June.
Anyway - it's a relief that things are definitely so much better and it is really appreciated, thank you.
