    I doubt it.

    But you should pursue them for the bank charge, use recorded delivery and keep a copy of anything sent.

    No, you won't be able to break away from a contract because of this. If they didn't meet their side of the bargain in terms of offering a broadband service you would have a chance, however this isn't the case. So you just have to address the issues of payment with themselves.
