Change of name

Can someone please advise how I get my name changed. I got married and I have sent requests to Plusnet to update my surname but they've been ignored. I need a bill in my new surname so if it can be changed I need my last bill reissued to show my new surname. Can anyone help or advise how I get it changed?

Re: Change of name

@lisarussell84 when one of the Plusnet help team see this thread , they should create a 'ticket' on your account which should explain how to send the documentation

Re: Change of name

I have private messaged you on X on numerous occasions and nothing gets done nor am I responded to. Is there another way to message privately?

@lisarussell84 

The difference this time is if you click on "Staff lahbrannan1" you'll be messaging a named person. Once you've clicked on his name their profile will come up which includes a link to PM them.

Re: Change of name

@lisarussell84 so to be clear , you sent a PM to @lahbrannan1  using the forum private messaging facility ? i.e not using X ?

That message can be picked up by any of the forum staff and If that's the case I would have expected tehm to have replied on the original thread.

I'm going to try and get the mods to merge these two threads so everything is in the same place

Re: Change of name

Guess that’s what happens when one seeks to use social media to conduct business interactions rather than using proper support channels. Primary points of contact are the call center and this forum.

Moderator's note:
@lisarussell84 . Duplicate topic removed and the two merged. Double posting causes confusion and wasted resources. It is also against Forum rules.

Re: Change of name

Excuse me! I asked for help and had been using the private chat facility in X but I have never had a response. All I asked was how I change my name as I hadn't been able to find a contact number and working in a telephony environment myself was unable to phone you unhelpful person

@lisarussell84 

Here's a list of previous successful 'Name'Change' threads (which you could have found yourself if you'd searched).

Just saying.

Re: Change of name

Thanks for being extremely unhelpful - I thought I could come on this community and get help! I obviously thought wrong! I don't use this community very often and all my other experiences have been positive but definitely not this one

@lisarussell84 you can , and you have. A staff member picked up the post and requested the account name so that they can raise a ticket to which you can reply with the information needed to change the name. You've sent a PM and staff will process it but I'm afraid its not instant. TBH staff presence on the forum looks a bit light today so it may take longer than normal to reply.

As regards a contact number, there's an 'About us' link at the bottom of every forum page. If you click that and scroll down, the contact number for Customer support is there, For info its +44-330-1239-123.
