I'm not sure this is the crux of the issue is it? I might be missing something, but I thought that the big problem was that NN's bill was being sent out around the time that the bill was due - meaning that the bill was overdue when it arrived. You're right though, a call to billing hopefully should help straighten things out.

I see that NN is also having problems with being ex-directory, is that right? They should be able to handle this (indeed I'm ex-directory and not had a problem). Sounds like your sister's number slipped through the net.

And this is the bottom line...mistakes do happen. You make them, I make them, ntl make them - it's human nature. The skill is in how we make amends. In your case it looks like ntl (and this does seem to happen a lot) didn't do very much to help, and this makes matters worse (something I wish many companies including ntl would wake up to).

If they sorted out what is usually a simple problem at the first point of contact, they would have a lot more happy customers, and a lot lower churn rates.
