I last used my 2talk account about 10 yers ago.

 

I have received no billing information or any other communication from them science then

 

However I have now received a bill for $19.53

 

This is a "migration fee".

 

1. I was not told in advance of this fee or any changes to the terms of service

 

2. I was not told there would be any cost (how could I, they never told me) If I had I would have closed the account.

 

3. I did not ask for any migration to occur

 

4. This looks like the migration was business decision (ie like shifting buildings, buying a new truck, changing accountant) and they are no trying to get customers to pay for their business decision cost.

 

 

 

This seems to be against the fair trading act and the consumer guarantees act.

 

Anyone else being billed ???

Only that I did not have a nil balance. I thought $0.00 was a nil balance.

 

 

 

I have asked for

 

Copies of my last 12 months statement

 

Copies of the notification of this fee / change in terms and conditions

 

Copy of the account where the last transaction occurred.

 

 

 

I am thinking that perhaps I send this to the commerce commission, I wonder how many other people are getting stung with this.

This migration was a business decision why should you pay for it?

You should get a credit for the migration amount too.
Have you logged into your account to check?

 

2talk are busy moving all customers to their new platform, even accounts that may not have been used.

I have been with 2talk for a long time.

 

Looked back over my invoices for the last six months.

 

My December invoice shows a Migration credit for $1.88.

 

Had not noticed that before.

I think the credit for the migration is if you had any credit on your account on the old system.

I agree with @CYaBro. I'm reading the negative amount as a credit balance and a positive amount as a debit balance.

Spoke with a friend who works for 2Talk, he said noone is getting pinged anything. If concerned, give them a call.

It's almost definitely a credit. Here's an earlier post on Geekzone. I add almost because it's not like I work for 2talk and know this to be a certainty but I would rate myself 99% sure.

 

@sir1963 obviously had credit on their pre-migration account, hence 2talk saying they did not have a nil balance.
