Charged two times in one month

suwak — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 09:32:48 GMT

I'm reviewing my January credit card and notice Public Mobile has processed two charges on the same day for the 90 day plan. How do I get someone to reverse the charge?

Hi @suwak, any chance you have two plans with Public Mobile? Did you make a plan change back in January?

If nothing was done to the account, and you didn't add a second line, then you need to contact the moderator team and ask them to look into it.

Please write back with the outcome.

@suwak were they for the same amount? did you process a manual paymnet? are you a new customer? what does your payment history say? did you make any plan changes?

sorry for all the questions but this type of info is helpful for bot the community and moderators to understand and help you efficiently

Yes, I'm fairly new. I had one previous 90 day billing cycle before January.

At the end of the first billing cycle my phone didn't work when I tried to call someone and the message said I had no phone plan, so I went online and it looked like I had no plan. So I went through the selection process again and made one change from my original plan. I selected talk and text and a data plan, wheras before I just had talk and text and the data as an add on.

My next billing cycle will be charged on April 11th. I've done nothing yet on line to adjust that.

A few days ago I got a 611 message reminding me my data was 75% used and when I clicked on the link they gave me I ended up reviewing my billing history and discovered a bunch of transactions (debits and credits) on January 11th that I couldn't figure out. So I went back to my Mastercard and found this double billling. I was charged $101.70 and $89.27.

@suwak You must contact the moderators as already suggested for consideration. When you changed plans it seems the system had already processed your renewal, and so you were then charged for the new plan. There are no credits for unused time when a plan is changed early. As you are a newish customer, moderators may be accomodating.

Good luck.

@suwak yeah to be honest I don't think you did the right thing when your phone stopped working and this has resulted in the double charge. Regardless of what happened, the only way to get this sorted out is to reach out to the community moderator team. Here's everything you need to know:
