My bill is set to come out on the 2nd of every month.
 

this does not happen?! It comes out week later or more , I do not get emails from you to say the bill has come out nor can I see it on the app. 

it's now the 10th June so this is 8 days late! 
 

please can I talk to a member of the team to sort this out as I have asked for the 2nd I get when it falls on a weekend but it should come out the next working day?

This has happened to me, it's supposed to come out in the 1st but comes out on the 22nd. I have spoken to an agent who said that the date it comes out is correct. I sent him a screen shot of what my app tells me and he said there was nothing he can do. It's so frustrating!

Hi ​@VC_3,

 

We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Direct Debit date.

 

You can change your Direct Debit payment date by following these steps:

  1. Go to https://my.idmobile.co.uk/login and sign in.
  2. Select Bills.
  3. Click Manage your payments.
  4. Select Change your payment date.
  5. Choose your preferred payment date, read the terms and conditions, then click Submit.

 

Before changing your payment date, please be aware of the following:

  • Due to the Direct Debit process, payment may leave your bank account up to 3 working days after your chosen date.
  • Your new payment date will apply from your next billing period. If there's already a payment pending, it'll still be taken on the original date.
  • Your billing period will change to align with your new payment date.
  • Your allowances will refresh on your new billing date.
  • Your next billing month will be longer than usual, so your line rental and allowances will be pro-rated, meaning your next bill may be higher than normal.

 

You can find more information in the Changing your Direct Debit payment date terms and conditions.

 

Regards,

I'm aware that the billing date is different from the payment date. 

I'm also aware that direct debits can fluctuate a few days. 

I have changed my payment date to the 1st, it's fine on the app and tells me when my payment will be taken. However, the payment is taken on the 22nd of the month.  I have spoken to an agent who states that on their system it says to take it out on the 22nd and not the 1st. All I keep getting, is change your payment date. I HAVE! But you're still taking it out on the 22nd?
