Locked out … and no help from an agent

Parferzoba12 — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 05:02:16 GMT

So just wondering if anyone is having the same issue as I am . My friends credit card is expired and all I needed to do was update it for him ? Sounds simple right ? Lol NOT for this company . Today is day 5 of being locked out , I’m communicating with them through a friend because i have no access and his eversafe id , soon as he or I go to log in first time it says too many log in attempts locked out try again in an hour . The latest agent told me to create a new account ? Since we’ve gone from rewards to points and we pay more , where is the customer service . All they have to do is send a temporary password that works so he can access his account they have his number his email , but all they do is reply with nothing of any help other than to make it more complicated than it needs to be. I need to know where I can go to take this further because this is unacceptable to me . What does public mobile think that a senior citizen can figure this out when clearly the agents can’t ???

I wish a password reset would be that easy but it isn't with eversafe. This solution worked for another member that was locked out for nearly a year.

But in the meantime I suggest you pay by voucher or instant top up until you get a resolution which may just be the passage of time. Here's info on vouchers and other methods of payment:

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/Online-Top-Up-Payments-Muskbird-com/td-p/928724

If you pay by e-transfer with Muskbird the surcharge is only 0.03% or $0.03/$10. This is the cheapest most convenient method. Credit card and PayPal payments are charged a 10% surcharge. Otherwise purchasing vouchers from a physical retailer incur no extra fees or surcharges.

The voucher catalogue link no longer works since an oracle archived that resource thread.

Have you tried login on the PM app then go to Payment tab> Update Card Information?

If that didn’t work then you will need an agent to help you login to the account. Click on Chat bubble and type in Contact Agent.

Thank you for responding , the problem is can’t log in at all soon as you go to enter username and pass word it goes to “ too many attempts , locked out try back in an hour “. Then you try in an hour and same thing . All I asked public Mobile is to send him a temporary password so he can at least get in , and update credit card , but not a single agent will do anything to help . It’s all on him to fix this and he has absolutely no clue . The best part is they want him to contact them but he can’t access his community or the app , so how does he rget such out ?

We can’t even have access to his account , voucher , visa , anything we would do but can’t get access it’s just locked out . I asked if they could send him via text or email a temp password , but honestly they won’t help . They don’t even care it’s been 6 days now no service and his only communication to his family . All they say is they can’t talk to me , it’s not my account , I get that so I said you know his name number and email address I’m like reach out , and help him … no luck
