Random charge after 1st day

[#1]

I joined plusnet and was connected yesterday. Today I've had an email stating that they will take £6.89 out at the end of the month but i was under the impression that when I opened my account I paid for the first month already, so was wondering what could this payment be for please?

Did you also order a Hub2?

[#3]

Hi Yes, I didn't order it specifically it's just the one that came. Would the payment be for this equipment? Thank you

[#4]

Who were you with previously, and on what service?

[#5]

Apart from this not being the P&P amount , as far as I am aware new customers get a free hub.

@Beccaloumoon 

Is your billing date exactly a month from when your service went live? If not it will be for the extra days. Hopefully a Plusnet staffer will come along and clarify. They can be thin on the ground at week ends.

Good point, @Baldrick1 . I wasn't totally concentrating, but it does look a bit strange on a second look.

Hey there @Beccaloumoon 

I'm not going to lie, I am really confused why this was generated but I have added a ticket on https://www.plus.net/wizard/?p=view_question&id=233263093 for you.

@Baldrick1 - unless things have changed, though the Hub is free, users still pay P&P

@willcutforth - £6.89 sounds awfully like the 14.4% price increase (no discount being applied).

Is it possible that this amount arises where...

1. The user pays their first month up-front charges before the price rise takes effect
2. Their service becomes activated (thereby first chargeable) after the price increase has taken effect

I can envisage that at the point of activation, the billing system processes against the new price, deducting what has been paid, giving rise to an adjustment charge.

That's the only thing I could think of for it doing that! Especially with the issues people have been having with the wrong price increase!
