data proterction act / broadband slamming and talk talk

i ask for a SAR to talk on the 29/12/2008 and i have jsut received some of th information i wanted aka sales call... and it confirmed that soemoelse order a broadband/ phone or more comomly called LLU package services on my behalf. i have a tape of the phone call from them showing clearly thisis not my voices ( i am a foreign national and as such i have a strong accent too ).

carephoen wharehoure still hasn't send all the info i wanted :

- a treue copy of the contract i signed ( they are saying it is a verbal one as per the sales call but as it wasn;t em who didi it then surely it is an invalid contract ?

thier argument goeas as follow " as this contract was concluded over the phone, the recording of the conversation in which i accepcted the termn ... consider a treu copy of the contract."however the tape showed that someone lese as orderd the package not me.

- i ask them how there procedure for copying retaining document etc... in the eventuality it goes to court but they are refusing to give out as they say no court action at the moment so need for it under the civil evidence act 1982 as this info falls out the data protection act.
- a proof all letter bill sent out to me
- a copy with all other agency to which they have fisclosed mtydata .... nothing in there either

i have paid so far 55 pounds but they have still billing me for a product i did not wanted ( theyr were caqlling me every moring until i paid so i di one morning , i am disabled also). the stil think i owed them for 67 pounds for a "free broadband "

i just wonder if i can sue them for damages ( the 55 pounds ihav epaid and breach of data protectin act) and how to go about it ? what is my next step ?

  • Manchurian accent :confused:. Surely they mean Mancunian?:confused: I'd love to be able to listen to someone and determine they're from Manchuria by their accent!
    If that's the case then the person writing the notes or dealing with this really does require further education.
    So OP are you French or "Manchurian"?
