I don't underatand what I'm being charged for.

I've been trying to understand my last charge as it doesn't seem correct and speaking to customer support did not help.

On the 23rd of July I had a live chat where I said I wanted to end my current contract (monthly rolling) and this was confirmed by the CS .

Time goes by and on the usual day I get the text message saying my next bill is ready (16th of Aug) and that the direct debit will come out on the 24th as usual. So I got in touch again and I was told that yes the offer would deactivate after a month, so the 22nd of August however I was not told why I was being charged the full,usual amount even though I would not be able to use my current offer . If I'm being charged from 24th then I'd expect my offer to be active through September but that's not the case.

 

Am I missing something here? What is the correct course of action for me?

 

Thank you very much in advance .

You needed to give 30 days notice of cancellation. Until that notice has expired your contract is still active & you could still cancel your cancellation. So bills are raised as normal. Once the cancellation is reached you will get a final bill, along with any refund due.

However I'm not convinced that cancellation via Live Chat will work. It's supposed to be by phone call.

Thank you for replying.

Yes, I was made aware of the 30 days on my second time coming to live chat but that doesn't explain why I'd get charged a whole month after.

My offer renewed from 16th July to 16th Aug, on 23rd July I get confirmation of the cancellation. That would be 22nd of August even though I wasn't aware at the time. So I get another bill on 16th of August which is fair enough as my contract is still in play but the offer was only active 6 days from 16th to 22nd, so why is the charge a whole month worth ?

Also the cancellation through live chat must work through as the first person confirmed it had been done. A second person confirmed it was underway when I got in touch about the bill and lastly, it is effectively cancelled now.

 

Thank you again for taking the time to reply !

Haven't I just told you? On 16 Aug your contract is still ongoing. You still have the opportunity of cancelling your cancellation. So on 16 Aug you are still billed for a full month. You will get back any refund due (for period 22 Aug to 15 Sept) once the cancellation takes effect.

N.B. For your "order" read "contract".
