Yet another incorrect billing complaint

I left Plusnet on Aug 18. No final account received. Yet I'm due a small refund, I think.
Instead, I get a demand for next month's payment. Yeah, but no, that's not happening.
Looks like I'm far from alone in this. For dog's sake, sort it out, Plusnet.

Re: Yet another incorrect billing complaint

Hey, Sorry to hear about this. I have checked your account and can see that the transfer failed in automation to close your account. Because of this it generated a new invoice for your next bill on the 23rd. To resolve this issue I have forwarded this on to our billing department to amend the errors for you and refund any moneys owed. ^BB

Thanks, Ben. I await the next missive from Billing with excitement. Undecided
It's worrying that this seems so common, going by the number of similar complaints, both here and elsewhere.

OK, so I've heard nothing from Plusnet, but I see my account is still active and now has a £21 credit.
When should I expect to receive it? Migration was two weeks ago.

The refund was processed on the 25th and it can take up to 10 working days.

Re: Yet another incorrect billing complaint

Argh! Plusnet! Now you're nagging me for payment by SMS and email.
Can't you sort it out? You owe me money, not the other way around.

Re: Yet another incorrect billing complaint

Aaand now they're whining that my card details are out of date.
Excuse me? I don't remember giving you a continuous payment authority. Seems like we're drifting from incompetence into illegality (or, at least violating PCI-DSS).

For the record, the refund finally hit today, which was exactly 10 working days. While I'm glad this part of my complaint is resolved, I remain disappointed that Plusnet are so slow at sorting this out.
Now, for your next trick, please stop sending me passive-aggressive email and SMS requesting payment for money I don't owe you.

In the process of getting this resolved for you once and for all. Your account should be fully closed by the end of the day.

Re: Yet another incorrect billing complaint

Thanks, Matty. I just got a flurry of email indicating something's happening.
Among that flurry, I see something about a "cancellation request" -- can you confirm that this isn't going to try and cease my line?

Re: Yet another incorrect billing complaint

We wouldn't be able to even if an order was placed. It's not our line to cease anymore. Only way we can touch the line is by placing a new provision (which there would be absolutely no point in us doing).
