I just got an irrate mail from my friend. I pay their account with my 'pay-as-you-go' card(I have been the victim of card fraud a few times so I use this card for online stuff... as I only can use the money I have on it, it limits the money I am likely to lose if anything happens...)
It seems I got the dates wrong for Sega's monthly subsription(I looked on my statement, they get earlier a day every month for me and my friend). In any case, it says on his account(now innactive) that the charge was declined and so on. They have to cancel the account and restart it. Ok fine np(the weird thing is they are STILL PLAYING NOW!). So should he cancel it now(it used to take AGES before the account became cancelled)? and then when I put some cash on this card tommrow start it up? Will they be able to start it up straight away? I have onnly had this happen once before and it was when they had problems and it took a week. Though another friend had it happen AGES ago and they just ressemued the account and it started again real quick. What is the best thing to so for my friend who has already had it declined, cancel it now so it will be good for tommowow(I hope it will be ok).
Also, I pay my account from the same card. I am charged one day later so as I can't get to the bank today(Sunday) I guess it will be declined on my account to and my accoun t will become inactive and I will have to cancel and resume it.
Should I cancel now while my account is still active? I am guessing that this will be better than the charge being declined and the system making my account inactive. That way, if it is cancwelled, I will be able to start it up first thing tommorow when I put some money on that card and there should be no porblems.
Anyone else have this kind of problem, if so, what was the quickest way... I am told it used to be REAL quick but last time there was a problem for me and MANY people on playsega it took weeks.... and I font want to miss the Beast Bonfire:). As I remeber it used to say your account was 'pending' and it took ages to change from that status.... please say it's all been speeded up now!
