Proof of Usage - Need Support (PDF Format Required)

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone here (maybe staff or anyone who’s had the same issue) can help me out, because I’ve been going round in circles with this.

I originally requested my proof of usage document (with IMEI details) on 25/07 after my phone was stolen. ID Mobile did send me the document, but unfortunately it was in Word (.docx) format, and my insurance company will only accept it as a PDF.

 

Since then I’ve been trying to get the correct version:

  • 15/08 – contacted live chat, told I’d receive it within 24 hours. Nothing arrived.
  • Followed up again, then told it would take 24–48 working hours. Still nothing.
  • Went back yesterday, told to wait another 24 hours and that the request was now “urgent”. Again, no document has come through.

I also have chat transcripts of all these conversations, showing the repeated delays and promises, if needed.

At this point I urgently need the PDF version to proceed with my insurance claim, but I’m getting nowhere. Has anyone else had this problem? And can someone from ID Mobile please make sure this gets sent correctly this time?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kash,

 

I’ve requested again on the live chat feature, waiting another 24-48 hours, hopefully the correct document this time 🤞

 

thanks,

Louie

    Hi ​@Tyler C, I haven’t contacted any of the team today as I’d expect them to say wait another 24 hours, just seeing if maybe someone can help me on here instead. Do you think I should use the ‘Live Chat’ feature one more time? 

     

    Thanks,

    Louie

    Just use one of the many free doc to pdf online converters.

    Hey there ​@LouieW27, no problem. I’d recommend trying to live-chat again to see if they have an update, as we’d only be able to do the same if we PM’d you here and check/chase an update on this for you. If you contact them again and have any further issues, please do let us know.

     

    Of course, you’re welcome to try what ​@WelshPaul has also suggested too if possible?

     

    Thanks,

    Tyler

    ​@WelshPaul I tried this however the insurance company can see I have done this and said I “Could’ve edited the document.” I need it as a PDF from ID to prove I haven’t touched the content.

    That makes no sense! Do they not realise PDF documents can be edited just like a word documents?

    Yeah I get your point! 

    When I convert it myself though, the file shows me as the creator, which is why my insurer rejected it, they want confirmation the document hasn’t been altered since leaving ID.

    ​@Tyler C 

    Hi Tyler,

     

    I’ve had an update, ID Mobile have now sent me a proof of usage in PDF format, but unfortunately it lists the wrong device/IMEI. This is not the stolen phone I originally requested the document for.

     

    As I made the correct IMEI clear in my initial request, could you please advise how I can get this reissued correctly? My insurance company will not accept the current document as it doesn’t match the stolen device.

     

    Thanks for your help,

    Louie
