Hello Evileyes,
Sorry to hear of your situation. I am not sure of what was previously discussed. However, I didn't think it was possible to actually change the payment due date. As far as I am aware, your billing cycle is determined when you activated your services and does not change, even if you change your services. If the billing cycle has not changed and the payment due date is now 21 days after the bill date (see below), I'm not sure how the payment due date can be changed back to your original date.

Hello again,
I appreciate you are upset. However, I never suggested you were not entitled to share your story and experience. I only noted that the community is not intended for customer service and if you wanted assistance with your issue, you would need to re-contact them. We do not know what was done to your account and I didn't think it was even possible to change the payment due dates..
Cheers
Hi there @Nikbak78
That's unusual. I'll send you a PM here on the Community to we can look into this together.
Hello again,
Yes, I did learn something today...

While it apparently is possible to change billing cycles, it is only generally done under exceptional circumstances and would not be considered something which can most definitely be done. For most people, I would still say it is not practicable to change billing cycles and therefore payment dates.
Cheers

You are confusing payment due dates with billing cycles. When they changed the payment due date from 27 days to 21 days, the billing cycle did not change. The only change made was when payment for that billing cycle was due. The actual billing cycle remained the same.
When they changed your payment due date back to your original due date, they likely had to change your actual billing cycle to accommodate. I suspect that involved cancelling your old services and activating new services with the new billing cycle. I also suspect that it's the cancelling and activation of new services which might account for the additional charges.
It was the billing cycle to which I referred in that statement. As you are now aware, it's not as simple as merely changing the payment due date. They are not going to allow some customers to have 27 days while others have 21 days for due payment. So, as far as I am aware, the only means to acheive the change would be to change billing cycles.
Cheers

When you activate and choose to use their services, you agree to their Terms of Service:
~taken from section 2c.
As noted, it is in line with the Wireless Code section D2.

The difference is that by agreeing to use their services, you are obligated to pay for said services by the payment due date.
Cheers
