Common Questions
What if the portal says there's an outstanding invoice?
The invoice may need to be cleared before you can add postal credit. Review your payment method and invoices in your account billing settings, then try the top-up again.
What should I do if I get an error when topping up?
First, make sure your billing details are entered correctly. If the page keeps loading or the top-up does not complete, try a different browser or device and retry through the portal.
If the error continues, take a screenshot of the message and contact support so the payment can be checked further.
My saved card won't charge — what do I do?
If the card was declined, update your card details and try again. If there are insufficient funds, the payment will not go through until the card can be charged successfully.
My top-up isn't showing — what happened?
Keep your transaction number or receipt. Contact support with the details so the payment can be checked and updated.
Where can I see my balance?
After a successful top-up, your credit balance shows in your account in the Customer Portal.
What is the minimum top-up amount?
The minimum amount you can top up is £5.
Why is my £5 top-up charged as £6?
VAT is applied to top-ups, so a £5 credit top-up totals £6 including VAT.
