Get Out Of Your Mobile Phone Contract!!
It seems that the Mobile Phone Operators are changing their Terms & Conditions for the worse, this is the Orange notification:-
Orange - terms and conditions update Word has it that you can terminate your contract without penalty if you so wish as they have made a material change to your Terms and Conditions! Imagine if you said that you weren't going to pay them £30 a month, but you had decided you would pay £5 a month!! They would be onto you like a ton of bricks!! So, if you act in a reasonable timespan you can walk away scott free from the contract that they have broken - if you are not happy then this is a golden chance! This is what I have picked up - I have a Virgin Orange Account and a PAYG Account so doesn't affect me ...... but, I know lots of you would like to walk away from expensive contracts with companies who don't care. Check it out .................. |
If your not happy just cancel your direct debit ? the contract isnt legally binding i dont think and even if it is they aint onna take you to court anyway?

They may not take you to court, but 3 non payment strikes on your credit record = an 8 entry would result in a bit of a drop on your credit record, and possible refusal for a new contract with others.

I get a monthly bill and pay it when it reaches over £1. Emergency old phone left in the car - about the size of a housebrick, but the cheapest deal there is :thumb: And just cancelling your DD is not wise - your credit record will take a bash. |
Or dont take out a contract you dont want, dont need or cant afford !
|
They cant change the terms of the contact.
|
surely the idea is to cancel your cotract and get a new one with a brand new, FREE, phone?

just like tiscali passed on my details to some credit agency thing and demanded the £16 i owed them. i was offline for 2 months, got nowhere fast and cancelled the debit payments, it was only then that i got anywhere with "leaving" them had to laugh at the girl on the phone, i told her i was more then happy to pay £16 to get rid of tiscali once and for all :razz: |
