I'm truly sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you've had with your payments and the difficulties you encountered when trying to resolve this. It sounds like the team are looking into this for you but if you would like us to have another look, and you use social media, could you send us a private message with your address and contact details?

The customer service was good and the assistant was v helpful and able to help me with my queries after several attempts from last month. I have just moved house and it was rather stressful and frustrating where I had to ring several times to get the correct answer. All in all I managed to get my problems solved. Thank you.
