Furious BT Sport customers overcharged after payment error – check if you’re affected | The Sun
ANGRY BT Sport customers have been overcharged on their accounts – some up to five times the normal amount.
Customers started complaining about payment issues today saying they had overpaid on TV package deals.
BT's TV packages range from £16 a month to £74 a month, so theamount customers have been overcharged will depend on what package they pay for.
One customer complained they had been charged five times the amount they should have.
They said: "BT you seriously have the cheek to overcharge people by 5x and say you can't give the money back for two to three days.
"You took £100 of my money and I won't see it for two to three days.

A BT spokesperson said: "We're aware that some customers have experienced problems with BT Sport Monthly pass payments this morning.
"We have resolved the technical issue and have cancelled all incorrect payment requests.
"We are contacting all customers who have been affected and we’re very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused."
However, some people are saying they've already had money taken out of their accounts.
It's not the first time consumers have been overcharged for services.
In May, NatWest customers were left furious after being charged twice in a banking glitch.
In January last year, customers were double-charged for their shopping despite payments being declined due to a card error.
