Overbilling?

[LorraineMM]

The day I opened my account, Public Mobile charged me 28.25 three times on my credit card. Was that a mistake or will it be credited to my account? I don't see it when I look on my account.

Yes, likely 3 accounts were created out of it.  It's good to sort it out now, if now, you will see it pay 3 times on the next billing date as likely Autopay were enabled on all of them.

@LorraineMM   It is possible.  Do you recall seeing some error (maybe Error 821) and you have to try reactivate again?  There is a chance that in all those "failed" activations, PM has already charged your credit card.  

But no worry, you just need to open a ticket with PM support and they will investigate and will arrange refund

Do you see three charges on your self serve in transactions, on your card or both?

Did you have problems in making a payment but had problems?

You will need to contact a CS_Agent for a refund or leave it as credit for future payments.

Did you have multiple problems when you were trying to activate?

@LorraineMM  - what are the dates of these charges, recent or older?

Credit cards companies can show both Pending and Authorized/Approved charges. Sometimes there are multiple Pending charges showing during activations or renewals, but when the payment gets authorized, the incorrect amounts will fall away, then the real one will stay.

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
