Overcharged due to technical error, months later STILL no refund

I was overcharged on my March bill due to a technical error in which "some number ranges were incorrectly defined as special numbers and customer was charged for the same special number charges."

I had to spot this myself by going through my bill, then contacting Three support myself. Customer Support told me about the mistake, and told me I would have an adjustment applied to my account - which I understood to mean credit to the amount overcharged.

However, when the next bill (at my regular amount) was due, instead of being taken from credit on my account, my bank account was charged.

So i reopened the case I had initially opened, to be told that the adjustment hadn't been made at the first time of asking but definitely owuld be now.

Of course, the same thing has happened again.

Has anyone else found this issue, and struggled to get a resolution? I'm out of pocket and fuming.

I've also experienced this. I called them when I received the bill and they assured me it'd be fixed. Today I was charged around £23 extra on my bill which is overall around £17 usually. I'm expecting a call tomorrow from their complaints team to give me an update on my refund.

I eventually got a resolution, but only by using the complaint process - rather than just calling ther customer service team. Int he end, credit was applied to my account, but it was incredibly frustrating to have to jump through hoops to get back my own money that was taken by their mistake. Hope you get it sorted soon.

Yeah I completely agree; especially since we've already informed them of a problem and been told it'd be sorted...

My complaint was closed this morning with no resolution so I've got that phone call to look forward to today. I'm glad yours is sorted; it's giving me hope.
