Let down and mis-led with my broadband contract

Wrongly charged by TalkTalk
On 30th Jan I was charged by TalkTalk for a repair that I had been told multiple times I definitely did not have to pay for. This has left me with not enough money in my bank account to pay other bills that are still to go out. I contacted them and after about an hour of being cut off by the recorded voice telling me to…

VM CONTRACT ENDING
Our VM Contract ends 28 FEB. Have informed VM that we will not be renewing and they have said that we need to give 30 days notice.
