Hi guys,
Apologies if this is the wrong forum but I couldn't find one for bill issues... I've just upgraded from V6 to 360 box (activating next week) and they've added the activation fee to the bill after the next one. I'm a little confused about the payment dates...
My confirmation email says:
"Here's how your changes take effect:
Service changes were made to your account on 1st February 2023
These changes will take effect* from 1st February 2023
Your next bill will be £118.19 and will be created as normal on 31st January 2023
The following bill will be £143.70 and include all credits and adjustments based on when the changes took effect, this is due 28th February 2023
Your new monthly bundle cost thereafter is: £113.75"
Usually my bill is created the last day of the month and I pay by Direct Debit on the 19th of the next month. However the wording of the bolded part there is confusing. Is this just the bill creation date and I would pay as normal on 19th March, or do I actually have to pay ("due") by the 28th February? I don't want to get stung with a late charge.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi Simon,
Thanks for your post on our forums about this billing question, I can see why you're a little confused about when your next bill will come out.
I can confirm that the date you can see there 👉 28th February - Is the bill generation date.
Your direct debit should still come out on or around the same date as usual.
I'll get your feedback about the confusing information fed back to the relevant team so we can improve how it's written.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Did you make any changes to your package bundle at the same time?
