Billing issue

I don't know where to go or what to do, to actually talk to a human being about a billing issue I have! I've spent days on end trying various different ways of getting some sort of semblance of customer service just to be met with constant automated messages or dead ends. I need help! I have a bill telling me I owe this months broadband bill, plus last months and a late fee when I have the email confirmation, the bank statement and the app confirming I made payment the month prior. I'm willing to pay this month's payment due, but I'm not paying twice! Someone, anyone, please help with this ridiculous situation.

    The info below is from the /billing-and-payments/payment-issues page

    Made a payment you can't see on your account?

    Card

    • The first 6 and last 4 digits of your card number

      I've tried ringing every phone number, gone to every forum or looked online for hours for something, somewhere, so I can talk to someone over the phone so I can resolve this issue. I've paid each and every time with no hassle, but this one time. I paid last month's payment in October, and i know for definite it was pay correctly. I just want the late fee and the last months payment that ive already paid off my current bill so I can pay this months.
