So I have recently got a upgrade with 3 as my contract has expired but I had to pay a payment which I haven’t paid for yet from my last bill. So I paid for it using my credit card but my 3 account is linked to my Barclays which I normally pay for my monthly bill with that. So today 3 has taken money out of my Barclays account which I have already paid for. So I have got charged twice for my last bill. What will happen??

I have exactly the same problem with them. They took my payment even after I made a payment using debit card. And only what I am being told is that I have to wait. But I don't want to wait. They took my money and didn't care if I need them or not and now I have to wait ?? I said to them that I have waited enough and I will not let it go till I will see the refund on my account. So I am contacting every possible person in Three. What a scam.

Hi @Alfonzganzitano,
I'm sorry to hear about this. If you have a Direct Debit instruction, then it's best not to make a separate payment by credit or debit card. Direct Debits are scheduled in advance shortly after your bill is created.
If 2 payments have left your account in credit, we'll be happy to arrange a refund, but we do need to wait till at least 48 hours after the 2nd payment has cleared. If you contact customer services then, they'll be able to sort this out for you.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi have recently spoken to Three on the phone and they have taken my payment bill twice. They said they are going to give me a refund which will be back with me in 48 hours it’s been 48 hours and still no refund ?

Hey @ChinxFaneto, thanks for this update. I'm really sorry you're still waiting on your refund showing in your account.
I think there may have been a miscommunication of the timeline for this, as a card refund can take up to three working days to process. What day did you speak with the team to arrange this?

I spoke to them last Saturday 3rd and it’s been 3 days now

Thanks for this update, @ChinxFaneto. If the refund request was made on Saturday, then the three working days would start from Monday (as "working days" excludes weekends and bank holidays).
I'd therefore expect you to see the refund back in your bank at some point today.

Still have not received it

Ah. Sorry, @ChinxFaneto, that's really disappointing. Thanks so much for waiting and checking up on that in any case.
I've sent you a PM with a few further details on what to do next. Give that a check when you can, and let us know the outcome.
