I bought a handset from ID 2 years ago and the payments were coming to an end January 2026. So I cancelled the direct debit thinking I only had that last payment to make. Made the payment and then cancelled. Received an email saying I still owe them £14.97. If the payment is not made.. Off to debt collectors the £14.97 goes.
As is it was just a phone there is no app to make the payments. No one on live chat will help and there is no phone number I can ring to speak to someone. I have reinstated the direct debit with my bank and now I just need someone from ID to take the payment.

What in the name of god is this company. Not a single human in site.

The direct debit is set up and ready to go. How do I make ID take the money ??

Before signing any contract, carefully read and agree to the terms and conditions. Your contract ends only when you port your number to another network or give iD Mobile 30 days’ notice as per the terms and conditions. Cancelling the direct debit doesn’t cancel the contract.

Hi ​@AudreyDuncan777 

 

The information that ​@WelshPaul  provided is correct. Cancelling your Direct Debit does not cancel your plan; it only cancels the payment method. To cancel your contract, you will need to contact us directly and provide confirmation that you wish to cancel.

 

As a result, you may need to make a manual payment to cover any outstanding balance. You can do this using the options below:

Manual Payment Options

You can make a payment using our automated phone service, as payments cannot be taken via Live Chat.

Dial 0333 003 0001, or 0333 003 7777 from your iD Mobile phone

Select Option 2, then Option 1 to make a payment

Enter the amount you wish to pay, followed by your card details

If you do not have access to your iD Mobile number, you can still make a payment by calling 0333 003 0001 from any phone.

All of the above options are quick, secure, and fully automated, so there’s no need to speak to an advisor.

 

If you have not yet contacted us to cancel your contract, please let us know and we can send you a private message to assist with the cancellation.

Holy mother of God.. Once again the most generic and automated copy paste replies once again. Are there any humans out there ?

Anyway, it’s been 24 months and 24 payments and they still want more money. That’s why I cancelled the direct debit. How was I to know that they were going to try to take a 25th payment for a 24 month contract.

I need a phone number to speak to a human. That’s all I need.. Yes or No ?

Hi ​@AudreyDuncan777 

 

As per the terms and conditions outlined in the contract you took out with iD Mobile, once you are approaching the end of your contract, you are required to inform us if you wish to cancel and not continue beyond the expiry date.

As we did not receive a cancellation request from you, the contract continued as normal, which is why billing has remained active. As previously explained, cancelling a Direct Debit does not cancel the contract, it only stops the payment method. Bills will still be generated, and payment will remain due until the contract is formally cancelled.

Please find below the relevant section of our terms and conditions that explains the notice requirements.

I can assure you I’m human. You’re an adult, you signed up for a service, and you agreed to the terms. If you choose not to read them or educate yourself on how a pay-monthly phone service works, that’s on you! If you’re no longer interested in the service, simply cancel it.

I've been told on several occasions that I cannot make payments on the live chat. I've set up the direct debit and just need ID to take the payment or initiate the request. 

Remember..there is no app as it's just a handset. Also she ported her old number over so the online login is asking for that old number to associate with the account creation. When typing in the old number it says something along the lines of "we've sent you a code" to a number we have no access to and is likely in use by another customer. Awful service ID have provided.
