CHARGED COMMUNITY ADMIN FEE

[Joered1901]

My contract went to up £33 without my knowledge or consent so I got in touch and was offered the exact same package I have now for £28. But now as well as my £28 I’ve been charged a £30 admin fee???? I was never informed of this fee, if I wanted a lower contract price, why would i ever agree to an extra £30 so you stop ripping me off!!!

Hi Joered1901

A credit has been raised on the 11th , you can request a refund via My Account.

Regards.

Check to see whether there's a credit for the £30.00 in transaction history, @Joered1901.

They sometimes put it on the bill but take it off at the same time  - accounting foibles.

@Joered1901, it is not entirely clear whether you had a discounted item like a boost that simply expired, or whether you had reached the end of the contract.

Out of contract, the price will automatically increase as you lose the minimum term discount. But you would have been sent an email to discuss your options, and there should have been no admin fee at that stage.

If simply a free / discounted boost came to an end (they don't always match the length of the Broadband contract), you may have been in contract still, in which case, you would be hit by one of these charges when you changed the whole contract:
