Based on the plan amount at Public you can differentiate Koodo and Public mobile payments. 

 

When you port in number from Koodo to Public your account at Koodo will be closed and it wont charge your credit card. 

Public mobile may charge your CC by Koodo company name so keep an eye on the amount.

 

Now top up your account manually and reactivate your account. 

 

If you need help send direct msg to CS_Agent.

There's another person mentioning Koodo charges in the lounge. I don't think they've charged back yet though.

Why do you not get the RE: in your replies. Oh well. Maybe I only see them.

 

The company line is always "we're aware of the problem and we've escalated it up" ... to nowhere. They clearly don't care that this is negatively and expensively impacting customers otherwise it would have been fixed long ago and/or they would come up with a MUCH more convenient resolution for those customers affected. For these customers to have to jump through stupid SOP hoops is terrible.

@DarleneS 

I am sorry this has happened to you. This is not your fault. But the quickest way to get your service restored is to go to the nearest retailer that sell pm vouchers. Preferably any of the following retailers sell pm vouchers that are immediately valid are best:

 

  1. London Drugs
  2. Shell Stations
  3. Shoppers Drug Mart
  4. 7/11
  5. Circle K
  6. RCSS
  7. Wal-Mart
  8. TMS

Make sure you purchase a pm voucher that will cover the plan amount charge that you requested a chargeback for from your credit card company. (ie. $25 or $40). You will then need to remit the voucher pin# or send a screenshot of the voucher to the CSA that will be handling your case. Once this is done they will disable the temporary deactivation of your account. Once you get your service restored you can then deal with CSA about requesting compensation from public mobile for this known issue with plan payments appearing as KOODO REAPPROV on customers credit cards without any warning or notice from pm that this is a legitimate charge but a back end payment issue that they have been unable to correct and has led to a huge inconvenience for customers  who carefully monitor their financial cards for possible card fraud.

 

@J_PM 

Announcement? Or this will become not only costly for pm but very embarrassing. Communication with your customers is the key to good customer service.

 @J_PM : ....and short-cut the resolution for these customers. For them to have to jump through all your stupid SOP hoops is appallingly bad customer service from no fault of their own.

@J_PM  I believe this is really an big issue now.  Customers are indeed reading their credit card statement and will decline charges.  This will be especially true for people who migrated from Koodo, like OP in this case, they will think that their old account are still charging and hence will decline without hesitation.   Hope you can find a solution for OP and also fix the issue.  

@DarleneS   That is not a good news  😞

 

Telus owns both Koodo and PM and for some reason, some payment are now taken by Koodo.  It is not a good setup and I believe PM is trying to change that

 

However, because of that, your service is disabled due to "non-payment" from the transaction reversal

 

You will have to open a ticket with PM Support (expand the Spoiler for ways to open ticket)

Spoiler


1. For faster response (2-48 hours), Click on the bubble in the lower right to request CS Agent assistance, or use this direct link: https://publicmobile.ca/chatbot.

Start with typing "Submit a ticket", click "Contact Us", click "Other" from the choices, click "Click here to submit a ticket". Then follow to complete the ticket submission.


2. Or you can Send a private message to the CS Agent here: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437


**Monitor your Community inbox, envelope on the top right, after ticket is opened.  CS Agent will reply and work with you  via messaging there

I believe Community Manager @J_PM could assist but you will have to forward her the ticket number after a ticket is created

 

FYI, here is another thread on the same issue:

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/My-account-is-disabled-all-the-sudden/td-...

 

since it is a similar issue,  I believe you will get similar reply from PM support in the beginning:

"The self-serve profile .. has been disabled and access to self-serve is restricted for 1 year because of credit card charge-backs on both accounts. The restrictions are applied by the financial department and cannot be removed. "

 

"During the restriction period, the accounts can only be topped up via vouchers. "

 

But I am confident Community Manager Jade will come to the recuse and get a satisfactory solution for you

 @DarleneS : Ah! softech found it. #7. @J_PM !

Yet @DarleneS you say you can make outgoing calls...how?

But regardless...you're into a bit of hassle now. You will need to provide vouchers after contacting the CSA's. Unless you're close to a store that sells vouchers, you could buy them online.

Did you get a new payment card?

When was your last renewal? Maybe your account is suspended due to no payment? If you tried too many times to log in with incorrect password, your account will be temporary disabled. You could try in 1-2 hours to log in.

@DarleneS   that is weird.  You cannot login My Account but your outgoing call is working?

 

How long you have joined PM?  You sure you know the user name and password to login to Self-Serve My Account?

 

Do you recall ever see a Koodo transaction on the credit card and you call the CC to decline that?

What recording do you get when you dial 611? Can you login to your self-serve account? You say outgoing calls work? What about texting? Did you port a number over from elsewhere? If so did you confirm the transfer text from the old provider?

We can get to data when we figure stuff out.
