Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I being charged from my previous supplier when I moved my services over to Rydal?
Unfortunately, whilst all telecommunications providers will endeavor to end date your services when they are moved over to a new provider, on the rare occasion this is not done. Please send over a copy of your bill with the service charges detailed from your previous supplier to our Client Support team at telecoms@rydal-group.co.uk and they will be able to detail whether this is correct or not.
What is the SLA for billing queries?

Why am I being charged for insurance from the lease company?
Insurance is added by the lease company as a protection for theft and non-user induced damage. This is a requirement for your lease.

You can remove the charges at any point by supplying your insurance policy directly to the funder.
