[chessie] 21/2/2008 11:18

Thank you Propane

[propane] 21/2/2008 10:46

chessie ....

[chessie] 21/2/2008 10:31

I do know that but our account is still a Pipex account and the company are still trading under the Pipex name at present under the Tiscali umbrella. don't ask me why but Pipex are still there....believe me.
All monies are still going to a Pipex account.

[propane] 21/2/2008 10:28

chessie,
The only way Pipex can take varying amounts from your bank account is via a 'direct-debit' ...and if the amounts taken are unauthorised then you are able to use your bank's own 'direct-debit guarantee' procedure..'DDG'... (all banks offer this) which is that if you go into your branch and state that specific Pipex debits were unauthorised the bank is obliged to credit the stated amounts back into your account by the end of that working day!......

I had such an occasion when an unauthorised amount was taken from my account under a direct-debit, i went into my bank and explained the situation and requested that the amount be immediately credited back into my account under the 'DDG' procedure, the teller i spoke to didnt have a clue about the DDG but when i then spoke to a senior person he credited the amount back into my account there and then.

[growthhunter] 21/2/2008 10:26

chessie......pipex isp no longer owned by pipex plc. group are to be renamed. if you are a serious shareholder surely yoy know they were sold, was it six months ago?

[propane] 21/2/2008 10:11

get ready for next step up.

[ludlow3] 21/2/2008 10:04

get ready for next step down.

[chessie] 21/2/2008 10:03

I am having a problem with Pipex as an ISP customer. The company are helping themselves to unautherised amounts of money, hundreds of pounds from my bank account. I have telephoned them on at least 5 occasions and that is an expensive and frustrating business.
I have spoken to some kurt individuals as well as polite and have been told the company will return my monies. Two weeks later I still have not received my cash. I also sent a registered letter 10 days ago and have not, to date received a reply.
Has anyone else had a problem like this and if so what can I do !
I do not want to make another hour long phone call which just raises my blood pressure .....AT MY EXPENSE AGAIN
I am a shareholder but with an after sales service like this it's no wonder the shareprice is where it is.
