Until September 2022, I was an employee with Openreach Ltd and was on their employee broadband with BT. When I left employment with Openreach, BT cancelled the employee broadband and I have not paid or had any broadband service since.
On being told their was an incompatible product on my line, I rang BT as advised by Plusnet to check whether there was any active service on my phone line preventing an order for broadband by Plusnet. They said there wasn't any service on my line and that Plusnet need to contact BT Wholesale and have a 'tag' or 'marker' removed from my line to allow the Plusnet order to be placed, I am assuming this is something to do with me previously being on the employee broadband with BT and is some sort glitch with the system. I have informed Plusnet of this over the phone and through the ticket that was raised to get the order placed but I am then repeatedly told there is an incompatible product on my line and that the order needs to be cancelled a re-submitted. This has happened twice now and I am going round in circles. No one seems willing to look further into this issue and I'm not getting anywhere. Would somebody be able to pick this up and resolve my issue please?

You would have thought that BT would have called BTw to get the tag removed, its their tag after all! I'm not sure if Plusnet can a tag removed that they didnt place ?

Unless it is in a stop sell area! Sight of the results of a BTW DSL Checker may give some clues.

@Mustrum possible, but 'incompatible product' is usually caused by a tag on the line.
Stop sell should prevent the order being placed at all

Then it wound need the benefits team, rather than a general BT Consumer call to get resolved. There used to be a lady near Manchester who dealt with internal stuff, but a quick search in my contacts failed, must have deleted it. Most likely covered by some internal gateway app - might need some help from a former colleague to find the right team.
Or order a new line/number.

I worked for "big" BT until I retired just over 2 years ago. At the time all "Employee Benefits" were being dealt with by email only, (in India).
I can't find any record of it now, but the email address was something like employeebenefits(at)bt.com
