keltoi Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) i just noticed from my bank statement bt have been taking £16.33 from my account for over 5 years amounting to nearly £1000! i only ever skim/check for large unknown withdrawals and somehow managed to miss this. what a dick. i'm going to check the hell out of my statement from now on. anyway i changed to virgin in january 07 so don't know why bt are taking my money. i'm such a tool for never noticing this before. so i've been on to 3 different departments who all want account info i don't have before they will talk to me... i've just lost my temper with some bt dick who was far from helpful. it seems they have enough info to take my fucking money but not enough to stop the direct debit or give me my fucking money back! hopefully i'll have more luck with my bank who are lodging an indemnity claim. give me my money with interest you fuckers!!! moral of the story - check your statements guys! related question - do you check your statements? or just glance at them and throw them in a drawer like me?

Soloman Tump Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yes I check my bank account regularly, and every direct debit is accounted for. Good luck trying to claw it back!

keltoi Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 bt broadband dept says it wasn't them. phone dept says it wasn't them. dial-up dept says it might be them but i need account info to start discussions with them. dial up? this must go back even further than 07. i can't speak to any more of these "help centre" guys any more today i want to hunt them down to calcutta and kill them all. and yes, if i get the money back it'll be a nice little saving that i didn't even notice. i'm not counting on it though.

Joyrex Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 What were the fees for? Did you agree to those fees, or when the terms of your agreement with them changed you agreed to them?

Herr Jan Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Ha, a few months I had the same stupid issue, only this was more my own fault. In early 07 my iPhone crashed and as I was about to travel for a long period, I bought a fairly cheap mp3-player and said yes to extra warranty costs. The mp3player sucked, only used it that trip and after that threw it away or whatever. Since that month I've been paying 4 euros every month (nothing compared to keltois story, mine amounting to about 250 euros) for a product I didn't even own anymore. I did see the statement a few times, first I thought it was the warranty for a new iPod I bought, but when that one crashed too last month I found out it wasn't I got them to stop it but couldn't get anything back. edit: I just realized I should've asked for a new mp3-player because it had warranty for being stolen, d'oh Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/72877-im-stupid-bt-have-been-taking-my-money-since-jan-07/#findComment-1790063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
