Managing late, missed, or disputed payments
Keeping on top of payments is important to avoid service restrictions. This guide explains what to do if you’ve missed a payment, need to defer one, or are being charged incorrectly by a previous provider.
Stopping charges from a previous provider
If you’ve moved to us but are still being billed by your old provider:
- Contact your old provider directly.
- Provide your PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) as proof you transferred away.
- Request a refund for any charges made after your move date.
⚠️ We cannot stop or reverse charges made by another network.
Managing line rental costs
If you’re struggling to cover line rental:
- Don’t wait — tackling the issue early helps avoid further costs.
- A payment plan can often be arranged to make things more affordable.
Missed or late payments
If you’ve missed a payment:
- Act quickly to avoid service disruption.
- Log in to my.plan to review your outstanding balance.
- If needed, request a repayment plan to spread the cost.
When you can’t afford to pay your bill
If you’re unable to clear your bill in full:
- Contact us early to explore repayment options.
- A payment plan may be available to help reduce the financial burden.
- Ignoring the issue may lead to service restrictions or, in time, contract termination.
Deferring a payment
In some cases, you may be able to arrange a deferred payment plan. This helps you:
- Avoid immediate restrictions or admin charges.
- Stay connected while resolving your balance.
Managing Direct Debit in my.plan
Direct Debit is our standard payment method. To update your details:
- Log in to my.plan.
- Open the Settings menu (top right corner).
- Go to My Account > Billing & Payments > Manage Direct Debit.
- Select Update Details, enter your new account information, and click Apply.
⚠️ New Direct Debit instructions can take up to 10 working days to activate.
Direct Debit charges
Certain admin charges apply if a Direct Debit is cancelled or fails:
- Cancelled Direct Debit: £7.50 + VAT added to each invoice until a new Direct Debit is set up.
- Failed Direct Debit (“Refer to payer”): £20.83 + VAT applied. Contact your bank to confirm why the payment was returned.
✅ By addressing payment issues quickly — whether late, missed, or disputed – you can avoid unnecessary charges and keep your services running smoothly.
