What happens if I don't pay my bill?

Modified on Fri, 20 Mar at 11:27 AM

If a payment is missed or your Direct Debit cannot be collected, your account will go through a series of steps. This article explains what happens and how to get your service restored quickly.

Step 1 - Administration fee applied

If your Direct Debit cannot be collected or a payment is not made by the due date, a £5.00 administration fee will be added to your account. We will attempt to contact you to request payment.

Step 2 - Service restriction

Your services may be restricted until payment is made. This means you may be unable to make outgoing calls until your balance is settled.

Step 3 - Disconnection and debt collection

If your account remains unpaid, your service may be disconnected and your account passed to a Debt Collection Agency to recover the outstanding balance.

How to restore your service

You can make a payment using the secure link sent with your monthly invoice email. Once payment has been made:

  • It can take up to 24 hours for the restriction on your account to be removed.
  • If your service was disconnected due to non-payment, reconnection charges will apply. Costs vary depending on the services you use.
  • Your outstanding balance will also need to be settled before reconnection.
Please note: To avoid missed payments in future, consider switching to Direct Debit. See How to switch to Direct Debit in the MybOnline portal.
