Issues with the Payment

Hi all.

 

I recently sign up for a internet plan and provide all the details about the payment (debit using my debit card). After what I received an email confirming I have completed all steps, including the paymento of $30 fee for the installation.

However, this $30 fee debit never happened. 

Later on I noticed a $10 fee for having a "denied payment" allegedly either because I had no funds or I did not provided correctly the debit card details. In short, it was my fault and I should pay that fee.

I called TPG and clarified that neither I had provided my debit card details wrong nor I had insufficient funds to pay.

I subsequently send then a scren shot of my bank account showing that. 

TPG replied one of my emails stating clause 10 of the contract and affirming those 2X $10 fees should be included as it was my fault either way.

I called TPG again and asked them to either resolve the problem or provide an alternative way to pay. The assistant this time understood what happen and without accusing me, apparently resolve the problem, waiving those absurd fees.

However, TPG still has not debit the $30 fee for the installation.  

I sincerelly do not know what to do, terminate the contract by TPG fault, lodge a complaint at ACCC and/or mail a bank cheque?

Has anyone faced this issue?

I have had the same issue with my account... and have had it a few times, everytime when there are a couple of public holidays I have the same thing.  Very frustrating TPG!! I could not make calls, could not use mobile data, and when I called customer support they said it would take 24 hours to reactivate the account. 

 

This is not very good.
