anyone help with phone contracts - Matt - 11-03-2014
basically i have an iphone 4s £35 a month, unlimited data calls and texts.
or so i believe
apparently my bill this month is 170 odd
when challenging them they have told me that i probably got the internet unlimited as a 3 month grace period, and thats expired.
thats all well and good but my contract is nearly a year old. ive said im paying the charges due to not being made aware that my contract has been changed, plus i was never told it was a grace period atall.
now ive got a f*cking huge bill to pay and not a penny coming in.
can i cancel the contract? as they are f*cking me about and i cant even afford the contract now im jobless anyway

Find your actual contract you were given, thats the best way to try andfight it.
If they havent notified yo f increases then you shouldnt have to pay.

this is exactly what i was trying to say to the monkey operating the phone. but it was a year ago,so doubt ill have the contract anywhere now :/

They will still have the contract, so ask them for a copy
RE: anyone help with phone contracts - Matt - 11-03-2014
oh really?
because while on the phone they said i would have to find the copy of the contract to see what it says on there... lol f*cking monkeys

My advice would be to try money saving expert forum or your local CAB.
i had a problem with Orange several years ago when they put me onto a tarriff which by their admission did not exist. It cost me £300 in one month!

Yeh it would help to know what you are actually signed up for.
Im with Giffgaff and for £12 a month on a rolling contract i get Unlimited 3G, Unlimited texts and 250 minutes
RE: anyone help with phone contracts - lolsteve - 11-03-2014
I would recommend moving to giffgaff if you can, not bound by a contract with them
RE: anyone help with phone contracts - Matt - 11-03-2014
yeah that will be my move if i can get out of it

I use the same one.
They made a bit of a fcukup with the maestro situation but thats all good now.
No contract with them is a big bonus

Not gonna help you atm, but you can cap your phone contracts now free of charge to avoid hefty fees, absolute f*ckers got me a beauty when i was phoning about cars on PH which uses those phonesafe numbers and they charge like £101981019 per minute!
Cheers

Could you not sell the iphone as well for some dollar and go to a cheaper android phone? My htc desire hd was £60 on ebay and while it's not the greatest phone it does everything i need it to

They legally have to have a copy of what is signed, they'd have to have a copy if they take you to court for breach - if they can't produce it they can't hold you to it, I am assuming it's like property contractual law which is what I work within as we have those rules

They have you by the short and curleys unfortunately mate
I see a lot of people in my line of work trying to get out if contracts
If you give me a date if when it was taken in can get holdnof the t&c of a contract you woukdnhave signed back then but they're written by lawyers paid hundreds of thousands of pounds to be pretty much water tight

You would think that Phil, I work for a student accommodation provider and our solicitor hasn't ever read our tenancy agreement...

Yeah there are always exceptions and so on but generally you are in
If they want though they will just destroy your credit history and blacklist you
