Compensation for loss of service

Hi, on 4th of November last year my phone line stopped working. I reported this the same day and it was fixed on the 9th of November or so I thought. However the phone line went down again the next day. I spoke to a Plusnet agent to report the fault and was told I would be due some compensation for loss of service but I haven't received any. How do I go about claiming it. I think the second fault was fixed the next day but not I can't remember the exact day.

Ofcom Automatic Compensation Scheme

Plusnet is signed up to the Ofcom Automatic Compensation Scheme - see Automatic Compensation FAQs. Plusnet will pay you automatic compensation in the following circumstances:

  1. Delayed activation of your broadband and/or landline service
  2. Delayed repair following a total loss of service
  3. Missed appointments

For compensation to be paid (as a credit to your account), you must have a CONFIRMED date for the failed activity. To see what is happening in detail, check the ticket history on your account - log into the portal in another tab, return here and click the PN TICKET link below. Look at the details of the tickets; if there appears to be no recent activity, contact support.

 

If the services were restored within two working days, no compensation is due.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Re: Compensation for loss of service

Hi, I relied to the ticket that was opened 2 weeks ago but but didn’t get a response so I don’t know what the outcome is. Could someone have a look at it please as I’m leaving to join BT Home Essentials on the 30th of January.
