Online renewal difficulties / confusion
Hi there
I see a few people have had some issues with the online renewal thing. I think I'm one of them.
I am out of contract 23/Dec I believe. I'm on what was the Ultimate Volt package with sky & tnt sports, cinema, additional box, all calls, 1gig broadband, Netflix etc
I renewed online 23/Nov at an acceptable price of £69.63 and received a confirmation email with an order number.
The details appeared to be mostly correct in terms of speed, all channels, but there was no explicit mention of the additional box we have.
I received a new bill yesterday showing an increase to full price, which was obviously of some concern.
This morning I've had the most confusing online conversation with an agent. In fairness, I think they were just following a script for account changes but the conversation was being driven back to offering me a different (lesser yet more expensive) package rather than answering my initial and repeated query.
They mentioned twice that anything online had a 14 day activation period but I struggled to get clarity that
- The bill would be revised correctly once that has elapsed
- The renewal package is in fact the same as my previous package
In the end I gave up and thanked her for her time as I think there was some confusion about the issues as she said the package she'd offered was the best she could do.
I was wondering if any staff here could provide insight.
Obviously I've not included any personal details but can provide via private message if required.
Best wishes
David
