Re: overcharge my credit for activation of daughters' Sim Cards

 

I used my credit card to activate two public mobile sim cards used in my daughters'  cell phones on December 25, 2021.

 

In total I was charged nine times (9*$16.95) including those seven times of failed activation transactions.

 

Please check and give me back the refund 7*$16.95

As of June 2021, it's official Public Mobile policy for the refunds for these types of erroneous activation charges to be completed (or at least the goal is to have them completed) within 3 to 5 business days.

Public Mobile doesn't really have a choice in this matter. They are obligated to refund unauthorized charges/charges that the merchant (Public Mobile) made in error.

Unfortunately the seemingly failed transaction is actually successful if your payment card gets charged. But the account doesn't get created properly and you need a CSA to finish setting it up and provision the sim card to the account. Oh well instead contact them anyways and ask for either a refund (can take up to 30 days) or an account credit (almost immediate) to be used for future renewals or add ons.

Hi @Duo   ,  that does not sound good.   

 

But no worry, I am sure PM will refund the extra without issue.

 

Just open a ticket with PM  at  https://publicmobile.ca/chatbot
Follow these these to get to ticket open page quicker:

  1. Start by typing "Overcharge"
  2. then click "Contact Us"
  3. then click "Click here to submit a ticket"
  4. you will then direct to another page to open ticket.

After ticket is submitted, make sure to check your Community Inbox(top right corner envelope icon) periodically for response from PM's CS Agent

These nine times of charge happened when I tried to activate the two new sim cards in their phones to set up new cell phone numbers. Seven out of the nine times of trying activation failed in the end. However I was still charged for these seven failed transactions.
