Broadband cut off and a whole other mess by BT - h...

I have BT Total Broadband and Unlimited Anytime.....and I receive 2 bills from the same company....why can't they just charge me one amount per month for all the services I get from them??
So....I somehow missed a DD payment in December for my Broadband. BT then tried to take this payment twice more on the 8th and 16th December  (without telling me first!) and then charged me £10 because they failed again. If I'd been notified that they would try and take the money twice more, then I could have made sure the money was in the account. Surely this is against the DD regulations and I should be notified 10 days prior to an amount being taken?
They send me a statement in the week before Christmas saying "you don't need to do anything - we'll take this amount from your account on or just after 6 January' (with the failed payments on the statement)
So I do nothing and wait for the money to come out.
Woke up this morning and my broadband was off....with a nice message in my browser telling me to 'click here to pay now' and my broadband would be reinstated immediately. I clicked the link and paid the money on my debit card....my broadband came on, but my broadband phone says 'you cannot make or receive calls from this line'
Checked my bank account online and they haven't taken the money they said they would take on the 6 January
So.......I phoned them up tonight at 17.50.The guy in India tells me that the payment made this morning (on my debit card) has actually gone towards my phone plan and not my broadband plan!! So I ask him why and he can't tell me. Surely the link on the browser page relating to broadband being off should take me to a payment page for my broadband, and not my phone plan.
Now I'm no further forward, and can't even SEE my account online because it won't add a broadband account to MyBT.
And to make things even worse the guy in India cut me off half way through trying to get this sorted out. I phoned back and get a message saying 'the help desk is now closed'
What an absolute joke this system is......I've now paid money to the wrong account (to which I'm now in credit), need to pay money to my Broadband account, but can't. Not because of any problems of my own, but because BT choose to have a closed help desk, and they also choose not to let me add or see my broadband account online.
And they also told me they'd take money from my account on the 6 January, didn't take it, and then cut my broadband off today
Ever so frustrated - why do BT repeatedly mess up like this and frustrate their customers?? Can someone answer this please as I'm sick of talking to call centres who don't have a clue what's going on

  • EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9.

    EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9.  This issue occurs for some users only.I tried the same url in google chrome and is working fine.
    Can you please help.
    Please find the attached screenshot.

    Hi BJ1986,
    According to your description, I think this issue is caused by the IE browser that runs the report. To trouble shoot this issue, I suggest that we can try to clear internet temporary files, cookies and others in IE browser. And also add this site
    as a trusted site in IE browser to check this issue again.
    If this issue is still existed, it can also be occurred due to the setting or third party add-ons of Internet Explorer (IE). In this scenario, you can try to run IE in compatibility mode to check the issue again. Or I suggest that you can refer to the
    steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
    Click Tools -> Internet options.
    Switch to the Security tab, click Local intranet, and then select Default level.
    Switch to the Advanced tab, and click Restore advanced settings.
    Temporarily disable third party add-ons. For detailed steps, please see the link below:

    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • My mac randomly cut off and it won't turn back on, what do I do?

    I just bought my mac the other day and I was about to Facetime someone and it randomly cut off and it will not do anything. It wont even charge. I don't know anything about computers so I have no clue what to do. PLEEEAAASSSEEE HEELLPP!!

    If it's new, then it is under warranty. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. If it is a used computer then you need to provide more information. If your battery will not take a charge, then either the charger is not working or the battery needs to be replaced or both.

  • Text in fillable text form gets cut off and appears only in the lower half of the text form?

    I'm trying to create a text-fillable PDF form. However, when I add a text form, the text I test in it gets cut off and appears only in the lower half of the text form by default (see 2nd photo below). How do I correct this and make the text take up ALL the space in the form like the 1st photo?

    Have you set the text field properties options to multiline? Is so, please attach a screen shot of that dialog box so we can see how it is set.

  • When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out.  How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

    When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out.  How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • SUBTITLES CUT OFF AND OUT OF BOUNDING TEXT BOX

    SUBTITLES CUT OFF AND OUT OF BOUNDING TEXT BOX
    by Ben Martin on Jun 24, 2008 at 9:57:39 am
    I use Encore version 2.0 and have problem with subtitles on a 30 minutes video. I have not imported these subtitles, but made them, one clip at the time. The first 10 minutes is fine, each subtitle is within a bounding box (the bounding box was stretched up to the first inner rectangle of the Safe Area). They can be seen fine on the timeline and on the DVD.
    However from one particular subtitle onwards, all the subtitles clips seem to suffer from the same problem. When I play them on the timeline the long subtitles are cut off at the right end. When I click on them within the monitor, I see that they are not within a normal bounding box. Instead the text is sort of "embedded" within a structure of white squares (similar to a bounding box), but any attempt to strecth that "structure" by pulling a square with a text tool, only deform and extend the text itself.
    I have tried to create a blank subtitle clip after the last "good" one, using the Add subtitle button on the monitor, but it won't create an empty bounding box within which I could type or paste the text. It works if I try to create an empty clip in the "good" area of the time line (the first 10 minutes), but not before or after that first bad clip I mentioned above. It is as if there was something bad on the timeline and any attempt to create a proper bounding box clip is impossible.
    Is there a setting that I can change? or is it a bug in the programme?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    In order to aviod stretching the existing text, you must use text tool to resize the boundry box.

  • HP deskjet printing issue - alternate line cut off and blocks

    Hi guys recently bought a deskjet 3050 and it started printing fine, when i had to print out a large document (roughly about 30 pages) it started to cut out sections of text and replacing them with black blocks.
    now when printing it prints the first line fine then the second line is half missing and some words are replaced with black blocks. then the next line is fine, the next is cut off and blocks again and so it continues.
    it only does this with black ink and not colours.
    anyone know a solution?

    It sounds like the black cartridge has failed electrically.  Try printing a diagnostic page as shown in Solution 6 of the page here.  Does this print properly?  I suspect the black nozzle pattern in the upper right will be corrupted.  You might try removing the cartrdige and cleaning the electrical contacts but I suspect the cartridge will need to be replaced.  You can check the cartrdige warranty as shown here assuming it is an original HP cartridge.

  • TS1424 2 songs were cut off and not downloaded all the way, what can i do

    2 songs were cut off and not downloaded all the way, what can i do

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
