Account closed for no reason (had credit on it - PAYG)

Nooria — Fri, 24 May 2024 21:10:53 GMT

Hello, I have just found out that my account has been closed. I was not informed. I had credit on my PAYG. The info on the account page, under Payment History, reads "Closing Adjustment" followed by the date and the amount.

I believe that money is owed to me but how do I get it back? And why was my account closed in the first place?

Any ideas who I can contact about this? Thanks

Looks like your PAYG SIM has gone into hibernation & then lost completely due to lack of use..

When did you previously make a chargeable action? EE PAYG SIMs are deactivated after 6 months of non-chargeable use. You then have a further 3 months period of grace to call EE to reactivate it before it is lost completely incl. any credit.

You needed to make a chargeable action like making a chargeable call or text, topping up or buying a Pack or Add-on, not just using your mins, texts or data from your pack.

Thank you for your helpful reply. My last chargeable action falls outside the 6 (+3) months period. I am annoyed that EE did not bother to text me to inform me of this rule. This is the end of my business with EE. Thanks again for replying.

You'll find most networks do similar as there is a shortage of mobile nos.

Thanks! You're welcome 🙂 ! Glad I could be of assistance & trust it is now sorted.
