Number porting took over 7 days - Now waiting for compensation

My mobile number was meant to be ported on 26/09/2024.
On the day it never ported, and after checking online FAQs it said that it may be delayed (and it would automatically be flagged) and that I should wait until 7 days had passed before contacting ID. After 7 days I contacted customer support and it was eventually ported on 08/10/2024. During the conversation they said I would be entitled to max £20, as it was over 7 days and because I mentioned that in between the original port date and the actual port date, my then current contract, had rolled over to a new month.

How do I expect the receive this compensation and when should it arrive? Will it be deducted from my next bill or will I get it back into my direct debit account?

Thanks

Hello @JayC 

 

Welcome and thank you for posting. 

 

We are very sorry for the delay with porting the number over, this is not what we would expect to happen.

A credit would be applied to the account and deducted from your next bill.

 

To check on the status of the credit, please reach out to our Live Chat team here

 

Thanks,
