Billing problems

I have had problems with billing since i moved house. You seem to charge what you think you can get away with. You charge me for paper billing every month despite me complaining about this regularly. You have 'corrected' the problem several times and refunded me the charge, then you charge me again the next month. Now you say I am in arrears, and i think its all because of this paper billing charge. I have 7 months until my contract is up.

    I appreciate that you may be frustrated by the ongoing issue, but we would look to investigate and troubleshoot publicly if we can, as this is a Community Forum, where we discuss concerns and try to resolve them in a way so that others who have similar issues may also find the answer.  

     

    I'm more than happy to investigate this further for you on our side to see if we can get to the bottom of the issue.
