RoyKR — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 07:13:21 GMT

Keep Getting "NO ENTRY SIGN" when hovering over the £36.60 payment. Been trying last 3 days???

Wasted at least an hour of my time!

Check out other ways to pay, listed here, @RoyKR:

It's better to try to get this done somehow, rather than getting a late payment charge, if it takes a while to sort out the problem in My Account.

You are in the queue for attention from staff.

Used Google and Edge to access MY ACCOUNT, all good until I hover over PAYMENT £36.60 and I get the red No Entry circle.

@RoyKR, could you post a screenshot of what you are seeing [blot out any personal information/account number details] to show staff exactly what the error looks like?

Meanwhile, paying over the phone is likely to be the quickest method to get this done in time:

Used Wifes Computer to try and Pay Bill. Still will not take Payment, Red NO ENTRY circle appears when trying to pay £36.60!

I.5 Hours now wasted time. I'm now going to make PHONE CALL TO TALK TALK, and try and pay. God knows how long I'll be waiting in a que?

Pay over the phone : is our dedicated 24 hour payment line on 0345 172 0040. You will not spend hours on hold. If you miss your payment due date you will incur late payment charge.

Well. Called 0230 4171000, afer 5 minutes waiting was answered but after trying TWO credit cards the receptionist was unable to take payment, something wrong with Talk Talk payment methods - why was I not surprised - another 15 minutes wasted, and was asked to call back tomorrow?

Then tried Automated Telephone payment 0345 172 0040, failed 1st time. Tried again 2 minutes later and was successful this time it took my payment of £36.60.

Wasted 2 hours of my time at £20 per hour, that's £40 Talk Talk!

@RoyKR, not sure why you were trying that 0230 number - the one that worked was the one we advised for getting this done and is the one that was in my original link.

Good to hear that the payment has gone through in time.

0230 is a national rate number [but OK if you have the phone boost as it would be inclusive]. Calls to Talktalk's 0345 customer service numbers are free from any Talktalk landline.

From Mandisa1-TT - "Pay over the phone : is our dedicated 24 hour payment line on 0345 172 0040. You will not spend hours on hold. If you miss your payment due date you will incur late payment charge."

Thanks for trying to assist, but I find the comment about incurring a late payment a bit rich, given it is TALK TALK's accounting system that will not take my online payment for the last 3 days. Ebay, Amazon, my bank, All Supermatkets, petrol stations no trouble at all paying by same credit card.

Hope that 0345 172 0040 is a free call from my Home Telephone number? I do not wish to incurr a TALK TALK a phone charge to Pay a Talk Talk Bill, which is reason why I pay online!

When Talk Talk changed its Accountancy software provider last year(?) it failed to provide the "Recurring Credit Card Payment" system which I'd subscribed too; its been downhill since then. Given the TALK TALK 2015 security hack I will never used the Direct Debit option because this allows direct access to my account. Always use Credit Card where I have e-mail and mobile alerts. Hoping for less frustrating time come July bill?

To nomfezeko-TT,

Thank you for an intelligent, courteous reply.

Currently I believe TALKTALK has more than a Few Challenges with its overall service. If it was not for my Lineone e-mail account I would have changed to another Broadband provider when the "Recurring Credit Card" payment was no longer offered. In this technical age I fail to understand why TALKTALK cannot reinstate this option? Also it really beggar’s belief that when you use the AI Chat to change Bill Payment Options it still offers "Recurring Credit Card" payment in the 3 options - yet this has not existed for over a year!? Someone really needs to get their act together!

I wish you well with these challenges.

RoyR

@RoyKR, have you considered registering for a direct debit method towards your account which will further avoid late payments?

Re: WEBSITE WON'T LET ME MAKE MONTHLY BILL PAYMENT -

jenny0198 — Sat, 28 Jun 2025 09:40:12 GMT

I have the same problem 9 days later. I imagine TalkTalk are trying to nudge people to direct debit - what company is not going to fix an important function like paying the bill? Unless it's deliberate.

As others have said it beggars belief that a large company like them cannot do recurring card payments

Hello Sabelo-TT,

Thanks for trying to assist. As I mentioned in earlier post, which you must have missed reading: - "Given the TALK TALK 2015 security hack I will never used the Direct Debit option because this allows direct access to my account." Always use Credit Card where I have e-mail and mobile alerts.

Hello Jenny,

I've come to same conclusion!

Also, just wondering if TALKTALK have to incurr a credit card charge of a 2% hit for a Recurring Credit Card transaction? And that's why there is the push to go Direct Debit?

Regards,

RoyR

Hi there @RoyKR, it is okay if you do prefer direct debit and there is no push, it is entirely up to you to choose any payment plan https://community.talktalk.co.uk/waystopay

But we advise direct debit since it is flexible and saves time.
