refund

[kerry52]

how to do get service from Telsta. After 3 phone calls , the last included being put on hold for 25 minutes, I have again been told that a refund will be processed. After asking to speak to a supervisor I was told that the supervisor was busy and will get back to me within 2 working days. How frustrating.

I’ve been chasing a refund for nearly two months now and it’s like they don’t want to give my money back. It’s beyond a joke!

Hi Bigdean. 

Sorry to hear that. 

What was the credit in relation to and what has been advised when you have contacted us about this?

I overpaid on my broadband. I’ve been advised to wait for the refund team to review my requests.

[Bigdeano84]

After being promised by two Telstra employees that it will be in my bank account by yesterday it’s still not in there. And now I’m stranded with zero funds!!!! Have slept in my car for two nights now because I can’t get home. RIDICULOUS!!!

Sorry to hear that Dean. 
 

I that case you will need to follow up with the billing team to check on the status of your refund landing in your account. 

You can contact the billing support team via Live chat https://tel.st/fnwp4 & select "Broadband, Bundles & Homephone" from the first drop-down menu & "Bill, Plan or Add-ons" from the second drop-down menu, or if you can't get online, you can call them directly on 132200.
 

Alternatively, you can request a return call through our 24x7 app, https://tel.st/jzdju. Once logged in, go to the Support tab and tap 'By Phone' under 'Contact Us'. You'll then be taken to a page where you can advise the reason for the call and the preferred contact number and a member of our team will be in touch to assist further. Or if you prefer you can also request this via your My Account https://tel.st/e3pv4.

Yeah, see I’ve done all of this, still waiting for the refund team to approve my refund. Want to know the funny part?? They don’t work weekends!! Hahahahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. I’ve been trying to sort this out for nearly two months, with zero help from Telstra. Now look at where I am. Like I’ve said, no one can help me! Cheers Telstra!! 👍

I appreciate how frustrating this must be Dean. 
 

Alternatively, as you have advised you have had trouble getting a solution over the phone over the last 2 months, the next step I would recommend is to raise a formal complaint which you can do online here https://tel.st/ymxvk;

Once you have raised a complaint through the online form, you will see a complaint case reference number on the screen beginning with 'SR 1-' (be sure to write this down, if you can provide that to me I will note it here so that we can follow up on your behalf if required). We will assign you a complaint case manager who will be in contact with you within 2-5 business days.

They will then work with you one on one until this problem is fully resolved or an agreeable solution can be reached.

Thanks for that Bigdean084, 

I've just emailed our complaints team advising them of what's been discussed here to see if you can be contacted sooner.

Please let me know how you go once you're contacted.

Still haven’t received my refund. No one ever calls me back. I have a case manager that is NEVER available. Sick of getting mucked around. Why is it so hard to get my money back??

Hi Bigdeano84,

It is not good to hear that this is yet to be resolved. I have contacted our complaints team and have asked that you are contacted as soon as possible. This will be during the week at the earliest. Let us know how it goes.

[Bigdeano84]

I can tell you now how it’ll go if you like?
