Account Management: An error has occurred?

[#1]

If I try to open the ‘My Account’ section of this website, I get the following error message. But this is not true, can we get rid of this please? Thanks.

An error has occurred.  You can’t change your products for the moment, you have an order which is currently being processed. Please try again later.

@billandsilke  I'm guessing this is the first time you have visited your account since a renewal/upgrade, possibly a long while back?

You will need a staff member to sort this - the (supposedly) automatic method of clearing this message on completion of account changes is totally broken - or it could be BT's B2B system at fault. Or you could try ringing customer Support.

Whichever it is, it needs sorting, maybe one of the Help Team will spot this and perform the necessary, but you are probably best ring Customer Support - tomorrow now, as they close at 8PM.

Hiya @billandsilke 

I'm really sorry to hear you are having an issue with your account. Please allow 24 hours and try again.

@SammyM The OPs problem is not with their phone - it is with the ongoing issue of the system not clearing account 'locks' when account changes have completed.

EDIT posted after the edit to the above post.

I have realised my error and edited my response.

You're spot on with all of your observations. It's been a very long time since I've had a reason to login. Generally I find the navigation & functionality of the Plusnet Site a bit clunky a bit like it was designed by an amateur. However I can't fault their customer service helpline.  My house was struck by lightning and they sorted out my line, router cables etc straight away with no fuss whatsoever.  

Thanks for your help 👍

Thanks for picking up on this so quickly, I'm impressed, I'll check again in 24hrs. 

Regards

Bill.

Hi @jab1 

Since my last bill I have had the same problem, I regularly look at my account and my current contract has been operational since January 2024.

So I rang and the automated message did not recognise my mobile number, I do not have a land line now, I had to input my mobile number was then put through to an operator. 

Sorry to say he was not proficient, he did not understand the phonetic alphabet and he did not listen/understand my query as follows:-

There's currently an issue with your account, meaning you can't make any changes to your services. Give us a call on 0330 123 9123 and we'll see if we can help.

I had followed this on the community and thought that it would clear automatically but no so I rang.

Eventually after trying to explain fully the above, he thought I was unable to login, he said leave it and it will clear automatically.

As the problem has been there since mid October I don't think that it will correct without a senior operative intervening.

Hopefully somewhere along the line this will be picked up and corrected as I don't think customer support can do it.

Sorry @jab1 had my moan

Hi @jab1 

Further update, received email

Our Support Team have opened Question 244578987 to track an issue on your account.

Your issue should automatically resolve please call back in a month to see if it still happening. Kind regards,

[#12]

@mort7890 Unfortunately, it appears first-line support is in general staffed by untrained individuals. Hopefully one of the Help Team on here will pick this up and press a couple of buttons, but don't hold your breath.

EDIT, following your last post @mort7890  - as I said - total incompetence. It will not clear until someone manually sorts it.

Am I glad I left.

Hi @jab1 

I totally agree, completely untrained which makes PN/F9 look incompetent.

Still got 15 months left on contract before I start to look for alternatves but probably won't be around if I have to hold my breath that long.

Also think it's one of those "can't be arsed at my age" unless it is really necessary and to ensure all is functioning for the other half before I pop my clogs.
