unauthorised money taken from account

live chat is not working. had the offer of a free one month movies pass which i took out on the 29th oct 2019, had an email suggesting i could have next 3 months at £5.99 per month if i wanted.haven't decided yet.  checked bank statement today, a payment of £5.99 has strangely gone out on the 11th oct. not to a now tv i.d. but a direct debit for £5.99 with paypal as the i.d. and a number.

gone to paypal and there is nothing at all there having gone out , nothing for £5.99.

I have not made any paypal purchases, and i have not set up any d.d.

can you tell me if now tv has taken money from my account??@

As 29th October 2019 is still 12 days into the future, it seems likely you meant some other date, but the numbers don’t work for 29th September either, unless what you had was a free 7 days of Movies with a slightly delayed record of the payment.

 

But the amount doesn’t work for that either, though it does work for a continuation of the three month offer from some other date. As if a free month was over on the deal you had, it would have continued automatically at £5.99 a month, as NowTV don’t give out free months that just stop.

 

But when you have the dates figured, best talk to Live Chat, and see what they think the dates were, and what the deal was, so you can see if NowTV think there has been a mistake regarding the dates and duration of the free month.

On a screen with big buttons all around, you may find the link you need is under a tiny green arrow, so be vigilant.

On Live Chat, when you can get onto it, keep your answers short, sweet and prompt, or it will time out on you.

If the person you are talking to doesn’t seem able to understand your issue, ask to be escalated to the next level of help.

 

<If you can’t access Live Chat and nothing happens, try a different browser from your usual one (Internet Explorer, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari) on which you haven’t disabled pop ups, third party cookies or indeed any cookies, and haven’t set an Ad Blocker, as any or all of these things may prevent the Live Chat window appearing>

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it.
Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now.
That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.
