Refund

Mrbeen — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 18:01:02 GMT

Hi. I switched my plan today because I used up my data. I topped up my account with 60.00. When I went to pay for new plan it showed my balance as 0.00

So I tried again wirh a 50.00 plan, and thst didn't go threw. I then got the 40.00 plan and it went threw. I lost 100.00 and am stuck with a 5 gb plan. I want my money back and am unfortunately stuck with a plan I don't want.

@Mrbeen

Try again incognito mode/private mode or a different device or lap top or simply try refreshing the page when logged in

@Mrbeen you should have used Incognito mode and make the change and probably it will avoid the issue

But no worry, if it is an honest mistake, I believe PM support can help and put the fund back into your account for future renewal, Please open ticket with PM support using Chatbot:

1. Please open ticket via Chatbot (need access to My Account): At https://publicmobile.ca/chatbot.

Start by typing "Submit a ticket", then click "Contact Us", Then click "Other", then click "Click here to submit a ticket ↗"

2. If you have trouble with Chatbot or you don't have access to My Account: Private message CS Agent at:

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437

@Mrbeen

After you topped up your account, refresh your browser by clicking on the circular arrow.

It will refresh the page with your top up.

Please note that any overcharge will remain as credit on your account and will apply to next month payment.

You can ask for a refund from a CS_Agent but it may take up to a month to complete the refund so just leave it as credit.

Thanks for explaining. But out out 100.00 and need rhe money.

I have 38.00 left in my account.

Here is the snap shot of what happened today..

some of those I didn't do myself. Or I mean I didn't authorize the 30.00 or the 10.00 for example.

@Mrbeen - please note that when you change plans before a cycle is due to renew again you lose out on the funds of the current plan you are already in; so there is no prorating that previous plan amount.

Any extra funds will stay on your account and be used up first on the next and future renewals. You could ask for a refund with CSA (by methods supplied by other members), but the refund request itself could take up to your next renewal day anyhow.

edit to add, above is also mentioned by @BKNS27

Note, also, when you renew early you do not receive any rewards/points on early renewals. It will pick back up again on your next schedule renewal date.

Hi thank you.

I just wsnt the 60.00 I lost out on.

@Mrbeen When you receive a response from CSA's, I'd also suggest that you ask them to switch you over to $40/15GB the same time as sorting out the over payment issue.

HI @Mrbeen I think in case like this, PM will do something

make sure you check your Community inbox for their reply

Re: Refund

esjliv — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 18:59:15 GMT

@Mrbeen - did you change plans twice? Or was one of those just renewed today?

If any extra funds you paid are not showing in your Available Funds, go ahead and plead your case with a CSA agent.

We are customers/members like you here, so we have no access to your account.

CSA contact methods are provided above by 2 other members.

Just outrageous. There is no mistake. There should not be any shoulda dones. You appear to have wanted to change to the $60 plan. Seems you chose the now option. Fine. But then you didn't see it in the system. Then you seemed to have thought well that didn't work and paid another $40 and changed to the $40 plan. Not fine...because this awful caching system lied to you on the first plan change. This is all completely the fault of the system lying to you. Insist on an immediate refund of whichever plan cost you don't want. They will prefer to either give you credit back to this account or you would wait weeks for an actual refund. Not good enough. The system lied to you.

Unfortunately, the mobile version doesn't show you the running balance of those transactions. Is it possible that you were in suspended status when you started this adventure?

@Mrbeen

Did you feel as though you were in a real life episode of Mr. Bean today? I can envision him on his mobile phone tongue stuck between his teeth, eyebrows furling and unfurling and eyes opening wide as he is desperately tapping on his screen.......?!!

All kidding aside....what was your original plan that you used up all of the data on? The $40/15gb? You can ask to be renewed on that same plan and a credit for the balance of this caching issue debacle. Alternatively the $45/20gb plan should also still be an option for you or vice versa with the $40/15gb plan. Just explain what happened, what you have learned from the community about the caching issue after the fact and what plan you want to have for the next 30 days. The CSA should be happy to fix this for you. If not report back to us....report back anyways as we would like to know the resolution.

Edit:

Just a note on how pm accounts for transactions in your payment history. For example: $40/15gb plan will be shown as:

30 DAY PLAN.............$10
15GB AT 4G SPEED...$30
