Renewal contract not activated

I renewed a contract for my mother on 4 January but for some reason it was not activated and she is now out of contract. I received emails to confirm the new price of £67 but then received a bill for £107 due to the non activation. I have raised this via the chatbox facility and eventually after a number of days was told they would honour the agreed price. However the contract price would state £83 but a refund would be applied to take it down each month to the agreed price. The contract papers mention £83 but no reference to the agreed refund.

Is there anyway to speak to someone to confirm that the new price will be as agreed? My mum is a widow in her late 70s and cannot afford the extra costs or the stress of trying to sort these things out.

  • Hi PJM72 

    Welcome to the Community Forums 

    Sorry to hear of your concerns with your mother's contract and billing. 

    This sounds like a rolling credit was agreed to correct this error. Rolling credits are not a part of a contract and are out-of-process corrections put in place on the system, so you wouldn't see this on the contract. You should see this as a credit every month on the bill breakdown.
