@Anannyasingh

If those are all Approved charges on your card, then you could ask for a refund via CSA.

To contact the Public Mobile Customer Support Agent (CSA)_Team, there are two methods to reach them:

1 - Faster - Click the bubble comment circle on the bottom right-hand side of your screen,

or use this link to: Get Help With SIMon the Public Mobile chatbot

2 – Slower - Use this link to:

Private Message to Public Mobile Customer Support Agents (CSA)

NOTE: are the funds showing in your Available funds area on your Self Serve?

IF so, you could just leave it there to be used for future payments of you plan.

This area always gets used first when renewing.

I would make sure you check to see if the charges to your credit card are not in a pending state. Some charges show up as pending but aren’t posted. The agent you contact will forward your request to the financial department and they should get back to you soon.

Hi @Anannyasingh

On your self-serve, is the area below displaying the 'extra' payments?

Fortunately, placing extra money on your Public Mobile account is like money in the bank and will be used toward future renewals.

See this section below on your self-serve to see if the payments are in this area:

Charges to credit cards can (almost) always be reversed by the consumer. The money wouldn't be refunded by the vendor (Public Mobile), it would simply be cancelled as if it were "never" paid to them in the first place. Conditions and limitations can vary as defined by each credit card issuer.

Of course, cancelling payments so will likely flag a note onto your account. Businesses don't like bad business with customers who consistently fail (or refuse) to meet payment obligations. It's a hassle, it costs time and money. I've read a few unusual complaints on these forums from customers who'd established "bad credit" with Public Mobile, they could only pay through payment vouchers or through unusual "AutoPay" arrangements with funds sent through Western Union.

I wouldn't worry about overpayment. Available funds in account are always used first - if you have enough balance to pay for a few months service then you just don't have to pay again for a few months. There's no requirement to pay each and every month, Public Mobile is always happy to take (non-refundable) money from you in advance.

Yes I agree with @Korth

As long as you see the amount of your payments (that hasn’t already been used) sitting as available cash, I would just leave it there and it will be used to make your next payment or two. Life is too short to waste time trying to get it out back to the card. By the time it is there another payment will be getting charged to the card anyway.

@haaruunos1

It's quite possible you're seeing a charge as a 'pending' charge on your credit card and not a posted (authorized) charge.

To be sure, check the Available Balance on your self-serve to see if the 'extra' payment is resting there. If it is, just leave it for the next cycle payment - much easier than going through any request for refund which will take as long as a cycle of service.

Re: Overpayment

hTideGnow — Sat, 20 Nov 2021 01:00:07 GMT

@haaruunos1 can you try login to My Account again and check if there is any $ as available charges? Maybe the 2md transactions was charged but loaded as Available Fund? if so, maybe let it kept there for next renewal. It is easier that way as refund could take two weeks to go back to your credit card.

@haaruunos1

I did exactly the same thing recently....the payment page gives you the impression that you did not click the submit button correctly. You click again and suddenly your payment goes thru twice. Very annoying!! Check that you see the extra funds in your account balance. If so it's best to leave it there to pay for your next renewal.

If you dont see the extra payment in your balance and transaction history or the payment will cause you undue financial hardship you can contact customer support for a refund. However refunds can take up to 30 days so consider asking for a credit instead of a refund if the extra payment is just missing from your available funds.
