Burst Billing: Read & understand the whole ticket before using predefined replies ...
I'm not sure if Burst's billing department do this to all incoming tickets or what. But a pre-defined reply that doesn't even solve the issue is somewhat irritating.

I am sure they will get it done and if not you can always get it credited. Not sure why this is a huge deal. They gave you the right method to cancel the addon and the only issue is an adjusted invoice. What is the Directadmin license cost? $10?

My point is that I am fairly sure Burst's master plan isn't to run away with this $10. Once it is pointed it generally it get's handled. Often not at the same pace that the customer wants but I am sure it will be handled if the cancellation was done within the window to cancel they will credit it.
Would you keep the $10 Infinitie? We wouldn't and I am sure you wouldn't. It just needs the people with the right access to do it.CloudNexus Technology Services

I think what the OP was trying to point out is that he thought he had pointed it out to them by sending in a ticket. Sorry, that was alot of pointing in that sentence!
The agent could have been a little more helpful instead of just providing canned response after canned response. The end result seems to be a waste of everyone's time - the OP still probably had to call in to get what he requested after a number of tickets to his host.Tommy Weber

It's actually sad that one has to post in WHT to get real support from them sometimes.
I hope you get the issue fixed.█ Diego Rodríguez B. - https://diegorbaquero.com

Sorry to say, but part of the "huge deal" is you mis-managing this from the get go
Problem 1: You don't email BurstNET Billing to cancel services. That includes licenses, additional IPs, whatever. Cast your mind back to your welcome email(s)...
If you wish to cancel service for this order, or for any services on your account, as per our Service Agreement, you MUST complete the Request Cancellation function which can be found in the client billing interface at https://service.burst.net/clientarea.php under "My Products & Services" and/or "My Domains". Selecting the specific service at that location, will bring you to the edit/modify screen for that service, where a Request Cancellation option appears. BurstNET® does NOT accept cancellation requests via email, phone, or support ticket.
Problem 3: Admittedly Jennifer in Billing appears to have misread your ticket on her first response. She fixed that on her second reply when she told you, step by step, how to cancel the service.
Add to that that you opened the ticket in the early hours of a Saturday morning, and billing, customer service, sales etc wouldn't be in until Monday, you probably got yourself all worked up over nothing instead of just following the procedure you'd been asked to use in your welcome mail.
Simple eh? And doing it that way = no drama, and no need for a thread here0

Actually, you don't know what you are replying to.
They have to manually adjust the invoice either way, they could've just fix in one go instead of replying 4 canned response.
The 4 canned responses solved nothing of the initial ticket.
You see where the problem is now ?
And no, I wasn't worked up. I know their billing don't work on weekends. Hence why I didn't keep asking for a reply in the initial ticket.
Next...

And yes the initial issue has been resolved by the director.

Hello.
I'm very sorry for any confusion.
Invoice #xxx has been adjusted. The DirectAdmin license fee is no longer included in the total amount due.0

Actually I do You very kindly pasted the ticket replies
There was nothing for them to fix until you followed the correct process and cancelled the DA licence via the correct method, as laid out in your welcome email.
Sorry? Jennifer's second response told you the same as your welcome email, but in a more thorough and helpful way.
Yup!
Anyway, glad you got it sorted eventually, albeit via a rather tortuous route0
