Being overcharged for additional broadband I'm not...

Please could somebody help me with this as I'm getting nowhere fast with your customer services!
I've had BT infinity broadband since Dec 2011, my monthly allowance is 40gb per month and my average usuage has always been 20-25gb per month. Last month I was told by BT that I used 48gb of my monthly allowance and would be charged £5 for extra 5gb I went over.
On Friday 13th of this month, I spent nearly two hours being pushed from pillar to post trying to explain that I hadn't changed anything in what I viewed on-line. I explained I didn't stream music, movies, iplayer but the attitude I received was disgusting.
I was told that 'The data BT receives states the usuage of broadband and that I had to pay accordingly!'
I likened this to credit card fraud but the difference is that I would be compensated for such fraud whereas BT refused to accept my explanation - as their paying cutomer - that it's impossible that I would suddenly double my broadband usuage!
On Friday 13th, I was told that a report would be made on my account and I would be contacted in 48hrs with their findings but guess what?! No call 48 hours later and I've just checked my usuage and I'm over the 40gb allowance already.
I've changed my password to access my broadband and no-one else has access apart from my wife and I.
Furthermore, BT claim on one particular weekend, my total usuage was 6-8gb which is completely impossible as we were away on this weekend.
Please can somebody with any ounce of customer service deal with this situation?!!!

Hi.  Sorry to tag on to this but I can't see where else to go!  Got my bill yesterday and discovered that I'd been charged an extra £10.60 for broadband useage last month.  No need to explain here how long it took to get through to speak to someone about it but when I did I was told that despite my average monthly useage being about 23gb (limit of 40gb) on 16 august I used 8.3gb and on 24 August I used 6.7gb.  The days in between are 500mb, 111mb, 200mb, 260mb, 265mb, etc, etc.  I replied to his questions that no, no-one had keys to my house, no, none of the neighbours had sneaked in and got a look at my password and no we did not download films or anything of the sort.  We are two adults using an ipad, an ipod and a laptop occasionally to look at the internet, social media sites, etc.  No downloading of music or films takes place.  When I got nowhere I asked to speak to the supervisor.  He was busy apparently but would phone me back within two hours.  Needless to say that never happened either.  I have now phoned again this morning and spoken to someone else who STILL would not put me through to a supervisor.  He agrees with me that this looks unusual given our normal usage but it could apparently be caused by downloads that happen annually (?) from apple or windows and this could have caused this spike.  I suppose my question here is, could that be possible?  Has anyone heard of that before?  I am NO expert and in the end gave up.  However, now I've found all of this I feel I should be doing something about this now rather than leaving it to happen again. 
Can anyone help with suggestions?  Many thanks.

  • Apple deleted my account when I made a complaint about being charged for apps that I did not purchase! The said it was for security reasons as my account must have been compromised but only Apple have mu information.I am convinced the operator delete

    Apple deleted my account when I made a complaint about being charged for apps that I did not order. They said that my account had been compromised and it was in my best interests to delete it for security reasons! I am convinced the operator deleted my account out of sheer malice because I complained - can anyone advise?

    No. It would have been done for security reasons. You notified them that money was being unknowingly taken from your account, so they froze it.
    Change your Apple ID here
    And also check for unusual activity on your credit card with your bank. Change all your security password while you are at it.

  • Been charged for additional broadband usage & don'...

    I have 2 broadband connections into my house. One is a BT infinity line with 40gb included & The other is an unlimited business line through another company.
    We've had the infinity line for just over a year & originally the only devices connected to it were the BT Vision box, my sons ipad & my sons iphone. Mine and my husbands devices are all connected to the business broadband. We connected my sons to BT as a way of monitoring his usage but he's only 9 so we weren't anticipating huge usagev through it. Since Christmas my parents smart phones have been connected to it but they are only in our house for 2 hours every 2 weeks or so and as they are in their late 70's they're not playing games or downloading on them
    On January 13th I had an email saying I was at 28gb and then on the 19th one to say i was at 36gb. I didn't think too much about it. Then on 18th Feb I had an email to say I'd used 72gb in January. I should probably have looked into it more closely at the time but I've been battling cancer so it really didn't rate high on my priorities at the time. However when I got an email on 12th April saying usage for the April was already at 28gb I told my husband to disconnect my sons devices from the BT Internet and connect them to our unlimited broadband. Despite him doing thisI got another email on 14th April saying we were at 36gb and then yesterday I got an email to say we had used 58gb in April. Struggling to understand how we can have used 22gb with no devices connected to it apart from the BT vision box and maybe one or two phones for a handful of hours.
    I've spent 2 hours on live chat tonight with a very nice person in what I presume was India from his name & he sent me a day by day breakdown of my usage for the past 30 days. Interestingly it showed 3.5 gb of usage on a day that my son and I were staying in a hotel & my husband was out at work all day. This also shows usage this month so far of over 16gb with virtually nothing other than BT vision connected to it all month. The gentleman on livechat suggested someone else might be using our broadband but I'm not sure how this can happen. Other than that he couldn't suggest anything to help me resolve this issue. I am obviously disputing the additional charges I have incurred.
    Can anyone help me as I'm at a total loss what to do next

  • Overcharged for addition of Skysports1 to BT Visio...

    I have BT Broadband and BT Vision. I asked for Skysports1 to be added to my package. This was done with effect from 1st August. The monthly package direct debit increased from £45 per month to £73 per month from August. I am being charged £19+ per month for adding Skysports1. Despite 4 telephone conversations with BT staff all promising to sort it out, and to refund the overpayment in August, nothing has happened and there has been no contact from BT for over one week. Has anyone else been overcahrged for adding Skysports1?

  • I am being overcharged for my Monthly Adobe Creative Cloud

    I am a student and I have had this Adobe Creative Cloud for up to four months. It is increasing in cost each month. They provide me with a 22.59 receipt each month but my credit card is being charged more.
    Thank-you.

    Hi there
    I've checked our system and we have charged $22.59 each month.  Perhaps check if your credit card issuer is adding a fee to the transactions?
    Thanks

    Does anything show on your account's purchase history ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases
    If it does, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and may have made them, then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If nothing shows on your account's purchase history then you may also want to contact your card issuer.

  • Why am I being charged for data when connected to wifi AND not using my phone?!

    WHY am I being charged for data that I'm not using? At times when I'm asleep AND my phone is connected to wifi?!  This happens at really specific, alternating times like 9:54 pm every day, or 12:01 am, 6:01 am and then 12:01pm and 6:01pm. When I called I was told  "maybe your wifi at home is disconnecting" or "maybe your phone is connecting to atnt or sprint". It's not possible that my phone is disconnecting from wifi every six hours on the dot and, at that exact time, I'm always using data. I find it hard to believe that I live in a HUGE city and my phone magically connects to other networks and I NEVER notice this. Verizon is full of LIARS (and maybe’s) and I'm not convinced that these data charges are a coincidence. I was told to turn off my cellular data to see if the problem resolves itself. Why should I alter my daily life when Verizon is clearly the one with the issue? I hope there's a class action lawsuit because Verizon is trying to get over on everyone! I need answers!

        Hello NotHappy101,
    I think it's quite odd that your data usage is at very specific times. We can certainly take a closer look. Please reply to my Direct Message, so we can get some additional details.
    Thanks,
