Have you been charged twice?

We need a little more info to help you? Do you see the overage amount in your available funds if you log in using secret/incognito mode? Did you schedule a change plan on next renewal and get charged the old plan price? If the overage amount will cause you financial hardship you can contact customer support and ask for a refund but otherwise just leave it to pay for your next renewal.

@Alexis19

Please note that overcharges will remain as credit in your account will be used towards your next bill.

You can contact a CS_Agent for a refund but it may take up to 30 days to process so it might be worthwhile to leave it as a credit.

@Alexis19

Is it possible that you may be seeing a pending charge on your credit card statement which has not yet settled?

If so, this charge may fall off and not become an authorized charge.

Another possibility is perhaps a few weeks ago someone responded "Yes" to an offer for a plan upgrade and on your renewal that upgrade was put into place thus charging you a higher amount for a higher plan.

A number of folks have come to realize this in recent days.

Go to the payment history in your My Account and see what transactions transpired. Choose the 'download' option as it my produce better results.

https://selfserve.publicmobile.ca/en/account/payment/payment-history

Is it as you expected?

As other alluded to, if these end up being Authorized/Approved charges and the extra funds are not showing in your Available funds area, then contact Public Mobile Customer Support Representatives (CSA).

There are 2 ways to reach CSA, found here: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/contact-an-agent

I am totally confused. I have tried numerous times to rnitiate a ticket to get customer support but it keeps telling me there is a log in error. I cannot identiy the error. I have used my email address and my user name and my password is correct. I am to the point that I will likely cancel my auto pay but if they keep billing me the extra amount I will have to cancel the plan and try to find a different carrier.

If this is the case what do I do to correct it? I cannot open a ticket as it keeps telling me I have a log in error but I have double checked and there is no log in error I can identify. I am logged into my account. I don't understand why it won't allow me to oprn a ticket.

@Alexis19

If you're having trouble getting a service ticket started, then try sending a private message to CS_Agent instead.

You can also try getting a ticket started again, but on a completely different device and see if that makes a difference too.

It befuddles me why no one suggests using the pin method of verification. You need a little more account information but I have found it to be more reliable than the login method. If you can log in to the account then it's all there. Then use the information for the pin method. You can change the pin too if you forgot that.

Re: Over charged on auto pay,

hTideGnow — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 16:40:58 GMT

Hi @dust2dust true, pin is more reliable than my account login, happened to me too

But I notice most people do not remember the PIN 😞

Re: Over charged on auto pay,

darlicious — Thu, 05 Jan 2023 00:13:43 GMT

@dust2dust

Is the pin method thru SIMon? I can never remember any of the SIMon methods (for obvious reasons). You have a how-to post somewhere don't you?

@Alexis19

Are you getting overcharged every month? A screenshot of your payment history would be helpful to determine the cause.

No need to access the 'how-to" post @darlicious, no offence @dust2dust ...I recall that post and it was great to make awareness of the advantages of SIMon Chatbot. 😀

Just go to Chatbot and see for yourself...it shows My Account or Account PIN option...even an option if you "Can't verify" with lots of other verification options available after choosing that:

Re: Over charged on auto pay,

darlicious — Thu, 05 Jan 2023 00:37:16 GMT

Oh...I misunderstood the post I was thinking there was a pin method of logging into one's self serve account thru SIMon. I'm aware of the above method of verification.

Re: Over charged on auto pay,

dust2dust — Thu, 05 Jan 2023 01:34:31 GMT

@darlicious- Yes the above image from esjliv is after fiddling with the chatbot and clicking on submit ticket. Then that's one of the verification methods.

No, the chatbot only logs in with the normal account credentials.

Thank you everyone who responded to my cry for help.

I managed to make contact with a customer support agent who was able to fix my problem.

The plan had indeed been inadvertently changed. My old plan has been restored.
