Billed for TV, but only have broadband

Hello folks,

I moved to NTL's cable internet service in January after having a rough time with an ADSL ISP. Everything went very smoothly - The install took place at 8am of the day that I'd booked it. The engineer did a splendid tidy job, and the internet runs at a rock solid 10Mb without wavering. Fantastic!

However, not long after the cable modem was installed I received a bill for "1 TV Mid Pack" totaling £27.58 - We dont have NTL TV. I called customer services and the lady on the phone apologised for the error - she said that she didnt understand why we were being billed for TV, since Internet runs on a completely different billing system. She said that she would credit the amount being billed and that I should ignore the bill and that we wouldnt get any more bills for TV. (By the way, the Internet account has a direct debit set up against it).

Today, I received a REMINDER NOTICE (NTL's capitalization, not mine) threatening credit rating black marks if I don't hurry up and pay the £23.15 owing. Note that the amounts owing are different between the bills. So, I'm back on to the phone to the billing department, and another nice lady apologises - credits the acount and says that we shouldn't receive any more bills or REMINDER NOTICEs.

I wondered if one of you kind people might be able to check the accounts (one starting with a 5 for the Internet, and one starting with a 7 for the TV) and see if the billing problem has been sorted out.

I did ask if the account beginning with a 7 could be closed so that I didnt get billed for TV again, but she said that that was a hardware account and that if I had problems with the cable modem it would be booked against that account rather than the one beginning with a 5. It all sounds very complicated.

Sorry for the length of the post,

Andy.

Edit: I'm in Peterborough if that makes any difference.

Hi twonk (cool name!) and to CF!

If you'd like to PM me both account numbers, your full name and address, I'll check the accounts for you. One of the CF team can confirm I'm an ntl associate, and I reccommend you await their confirmation before sending your details to any forum member.

Many thanks for the welcome. I've been reading the site for quite a while (but never quite got around to registering).

PM has been sent. You guys are great!

Cheers,
