Yes i understand.
But my get out fee is £400..
Surely i can pay a lawyer £100 to get me out?0 -
You've signed a contract, you can pay a lawyer what ever you like it's still legally binding.
If you could just start a contract and then cancel it the networks would go bust in a month...
There does seem to be a very vague idea of what a contract really is on this board, this questions comes up about once a week.0 -
Maybe the OP can furnish us with some more info:
*What contract are you on?
*What's the length of it?
*When did you sign up to it?
*Where did you buy it?
*What were you promised that you're not getting?
*Why are your bills so high?
*What kind of bad service - customer service or network service?0 -
yes there is a loophole
If you took out your orange contract before the 30th April 09 you can phone orange and cancel your contract immediately without penalty. You can then go straight on their website and take out a new contract and get a new phone but you still keep your old one.
How
Simple from the 1st of May orange changed their basic call charges for all contracts which means if your contract started before the 30th April they have broken your contract with them. This is all legal and I have done it myself. Just ask for cancellations and tell them they've broken your contract. Search the web there's many postings about itIs thier any loopholes to break my contract with orange?

The price rises were reversed as far as I know. Too many people were leaving so they changed their mind. I'm afraid the OP is just going to have to see out the contract and possibly contact Orange to see if there is any add-ons or tariffs that suits his/her usage.0 -
Agreed orange did reverse the prices due to people wanting to leave, but it think they did do them in the end.
But it would be too late to cancel as you should have complained earlier.
As to poor signal, if the signal quality was degraded from good to bad/none where you used it the most, it maybe possible. You would need to give them about 30 days to sort it out, but if they can't then you might be able to cancel.
However if you always had a bad signal, then no you can't cancel.
As to the high bill, that is your fault. If you are going over your allowances, then ask to increase your tariff to a more suitable one.
If it is just the contract is too much, after 1/2 your contract u can usually downgrade the tariff roughly 1 tariff per month.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies0 -
as far as I know, you can downgrade 1 tariff per month if on an 18m contract, but only 1 tariff down for once only if on a 12m contract.
btw, a couple of yrs ago, when 02 changed their rates of 0870/0845 numbers I took the opportunity to get out my then contract.0
