    Ok I called them this morning and the lady just said that was the bill on the close of my account on 5th Febuary...
    And that i had phoned them up and given them that reading. :huh:


    I told her i had never closed my account and that it must have been my nextdoor neighbour, as he moved out of his flat about 2months ago.


    She just went away somewhere for a few minutes, then came back saying she would tell their billing department that i hadnt closed my account.


    And so i just said bye then. :/



    Kind of an inconclusive call though since i still am not sure how much they are trying to charge me each month,
    but when i get the next bill from them il see if they are charging me £0 again, or going to ask me for some money from now onwards. :confused:

    Sounds like you spoke to a numpty. Try again. Don't leave it - you could end up with disconnection charges etc.
