Question 1

Why does my first monthly invoice have so many transactions?

Accepted Answer

First Month
Your first monthly invoice shows transactions for the following: Installation. The installation fee, and any payments you made to us prior to installation. Part-period fees. Our billing period starts on the 25th of each month and ends on the 24th of the following month. For new customers, it is likely they will join us part-way through that period. We charge you for the portion of that period from the day after your installation to the end of the current billing period. Next period fees. This will be the monthly fee from the 25th of the month to the 24th of the following month. Regular Month
As an example, if you are on a month to month plan: On the 2nd of the month, your booking is made for service installation on the 10th of the month. You will be billed for your service installation within a few days after the 2nd of the month. Your service is installed on the 10th of the month so your billing period commences on the 11th of that month (day after install)
- Charges for the part month 11th to the 24th
- Charges for the next period (next month) which is 25th-24th

Invoices are sent a few days after the start of each billing period. Billing periods start on the 25th of each month, and end on the 24th of the following month.

Question 7

When do you charge my credit card or bank account?

Your first monthly plan fees will be direct debited from your nominated account 14 days from the date of your invoice.
