    Welcome to the MSE forums steven.brookes.

    The first thing to do would be to tell them you dispute the amount and require them to supply you with a breakdown of the 'services' for which they are claining £700.

    Are you sure, though, you haven't breached a contract to which you were committed (your "my old phone company" phrase)? Which was your old company?
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
