Transfer referrals

After my Plusnet account was unexpectedly ceased I've had to open a new account with a different username.
My old account had two referrals, is it possible to transfer them to the new one?

Re: Transfer referrals

This is possible technically, but it needs a fiddle, which means finding someone who can fiddle!

One of the staff gurus or wizards who lurk here might know the right tune.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Re: Transfer referrals

Sorry for what has happened @rft 

Unfortunately, I can't move the referrals; the system I use doesn't work if the account's cancelled.

This may need someone from the Support team to see if there's another solution. 

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

Re: Transfer referrals

Thanks for the replies. AAMOI, my old account wasn't cancelled -- it was closed in error by Plusnet. I've had the account for 23 years but apparently,once an account is closed, for whatever reason, it can't be re-opened or so I was told. Are there any Support staff on the forum who can help with transferring my referrals?

Re: Transfer referrals

Should be simple - unless things have changed ?

When I moved house my account was closed and a new one with the same name but a '1' at the end was opened, complete with refferals. I think I had about 6 refferals at that time. People have moved, changed ISP or popped off, I'm down to 2 now. Still better in my pocket than .............

Re: Monthly direct debit

@rft - I hope you were not using the legacy email service ...

The "new" billing system cannot 'cope' with resurrecting an account: it has been suggested that following the billing system closing an account it can never be reopened.  From a software engineering and data management consideration, that's not true ... but there would need to be user tools to facilitate the change.  Such facilities could though lead to a loss of data integrity, making the option impractical.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Yes I was, but I now have a new account to match my new username thanks to a couple of very helpful people at CS.

Fix

Hi @rft 

As @Gandalf mentioned, we're not able to move the referrals over because the old account was destroyed.

I've proposed something on a ticket on your account which you can see here.

If you're happy to accept this please let us know

 

After the 3rd of November I will have a limited presence here as I have moved to a new role
