iBurst Billing periods

[LandyMan]

Hi all,

Yeah, so they did it ... after not invoicing me for 4 months (got iBurst in March 05), they invoiced me all together this month, but on different Payment runs: Middle June R1198, 26 June R599 and 28 June R599. So my question is this - Is the payment per month in advance, or in arrears?, 'cause from the above I don't have a clue anymore what's going on.

Apparently in advance:

Contract Number Description Amount
SAxxx99999 Monthly Access Charge for 05 - Jul (Contract No. SAxxx99999) R 599.00
Total to be invoiced R 599.00

BTW, the only invoice I ever received...

I received that same invoice 4 times this month, plus they took 4 months' worth of R599's out of my account, so now I don't know if that invoice has actually been paid. Oi, these guys confuse me

Tsk, 3 / 4 times per month. That's BAD Surprised at the UT's shape...

My debit orders went off monthly like clockwork, once a day early however. Only 1 invoice until now.

Riiight small things...

Anyways LandyMan, I suggest you pad your bank account with wiiings to stop the hemorrhaging - several iBurster forumites have posted that they got WBS to cancel the debit order on their bank accounts, and that they now pay WBS directly, that's what you should probably do instead of allowing WBS to deduct ~R2400 all in the same month...

Well, apart from not knowing if July is paid, I have not paid more than what I was supposed to, as I've never been invoiced. My Banker has been notified to flag WBS entries on my account ... everything/anything above R599 will be reversed immediately

LandyMan, just curious which bank is that? - the account WBS deduct my iBurst subs money from is with ABSA, and to my knowledge ABSA do not have such capabilities in their systems - usually when I've stopped a direct debit in the past, ABSA still let it through & I have to pay through the nose to get it reversed...

If Twenty20 were offering business accounts, I'd consider switching to them...

IC, I am with Standard Bank ... I am not sure if their systems actually do it, or if it is my Private Banker that does it for me
