Cannot pay using three pay

Mcooper

Hi there, recently I have had my credit limit increased after I paid my bill early through debit card. Ever since those two things happened I havenโ€™t been able to make a payment using my mobile number via three pay. I have tried about 10ish different sites/companies. 

I have contacted support so many times I have lost count they are saying that itโ€™s not an issue on threeโ€™s end. However I have also contacted the companies Iโ€™m trying to make the payment to, they have also told me it is not on their end. 

My conclusion is there is an issue with making the payment from three to said company, and three just canโ€™t see the issue. Itโ€™s been about a week since Iโ€™ve had this issue and havenโ€™t moved any step closer to resolving it. Any help by anyone who may have experienced this in the past or have an idea of what I can try to resolve this I would be greatly appreciative.

 

best regards,

Matthew.

So i heard from the 3technical team today. Apparently Threepay is hit & miss if it works for you. Three can't guarantee it will work. Which i can't understand when I've always used three pay, but the lad said it's just luck of the draw if your phone will allow you to use three pay. But he will pass my complaint on ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ i can not wait for my 5 contracts to be up so I can switch provider

I'm having the exact same issue with Three Pay and the Three customer service advisors keeping telling me that it is nothing to do with them and even tried to say I need to talk to my bank which confused me ๐Ÿฅด My bank is only used for Direct Debits as I'm in a contract. Therefore, I think it is just Three fobbing me off as they have no solution.

I have been having this exact same issue, I canโ€™t get it solved, how did you do it?

Hello, Lillyturner. 

That's not great. Knowing exactly what is causing the payments not to go through for you isn't something that could established here, so offering a solution is tricky. My advice would be to contact the Support Team by calling or chatting live, and asking them to double check the credit limit on the account. To be clear, this is different from a Spend Limit/Spend Cap. 

If the credit limit is too low, it could prevent 3Pay from working.

Having the same problem. I last used it in June this year and havenโ€™t been able to use it since. Iโ€™ve contacted Three so many times, like so many times. To be told โ€œThe credit limit is there and available, no problem their endโ€. Iโ€™m so sick of explaining the same thing over and over again. 
Every operator starts by trying to increase the limit their end and then resetting the limit. (Even though the spending cap limit has nothing to do with the credit limit of three pay). 
Iโ€™ve been told over and over that I have ยฃ200 available and ready to use. โ€œJust restart your device and it should be ready to goโ€. 
Then to be told that it must be an issue with the services youโ€™re purchasing from. 

I contacted the companies (feeling so daft doing so). Theyโ€™ve all said that the payment would be processed successfully their end if the credit was available. So 100% an issue with the phone provider. 
Unbelievably frustrating!! 
I would rather three just admit that thereโ€™s a fault and that they have no clue how to fix it, rather than being fobbed off.

4 months left of the contract, 100% going elsewhere. Absolute jokers.

.. also, theyโ€™re shocked to hear that others are having the exact same problem. Do they even look at their forums?

So spoke to another Customer advisor who basically shut me down everytime I tried to talk. And I asked him to please listen to me as this is getting very frustrating. He saying business account users have never had three pay, weird that as ive been a business user for many years and it all worked fantastic until the upgrade.

 But I still have another year of contract ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Having the exact same issue. 3 hours on live chat Yesterday being passed from pillar to post.

Now with escalation team who I have to contact after 24 hours to find out the result.

Did you get anywhere with Three Matthew? Ive been having the same issues for months and they just blag it constantly, feel like i'm dealing with Moss from the I.t crowd "have you tried turning it off and on again" or the "computer says no" woman from lil britain
