BT address mix up has led to me being disconnected

Having an absolute nightmare with BT , cannot get any resolution, have been without broadband for a week due to my neighbours moving in to next door property and their address mixed up with mine so BT think I’m moving next door ! No one seems to be able to help and I’m getting more and more frustrated. They have taken my direct debit yesterday for an account that isn’t even active ! Can’t get through to anyone on phone.

Re: BT address mix up has led to me being disconnected

Perhaps you can clarify the issue , first , are BT your  provider, or do you think it’s BT’s responsibility to sort it out regardless of the actual provider ?  ,

if your neighbour (new neighbour presumably that’s recently moved in ) put your address on their application for service, you should have received a communication from your provider saying something along the lines of ‘sorry you are leaving’ , did you get anything like that ? ,

who is your neighbours provider ?


if your address were incorrectly used by your new  neighbour, then you would expect their service to be now ‘live’ at your address (even if you can’t use it ) and them to have no service at their address , because it was incorrectly supplied to your address , is that the case ?

Is it understandable why someone could mix up your address and their address, like they have the same house number but different suffix, like 1A and 1B , or are they very  different although likely to have the same street name , perhaps you can give the first part of your address and their address , obviously don’t provide any personal information.

Yes basically the internal ONT fibre box in my house has the incorrect UPRN but getting this changed seems to be beyond anyone’s capabilities. I keep being told it’s openreach I need to contact and then openreach tell me it’s my ISP

as openreach do not deal with the public it is your ISP who you need to contact and get it sorted.  when you call make sure you have the S/N of the ONT
