  • I heard from the Court this morning (24th April 2009) which advised me:-

    'The Court sent to the defendant by first class post on 22nd April 2009 and will be deemed to be served on the 27th April 2009.
    The defendant has until the 11th May 2009 to reply'.

    Watch this space:D

    P.S. The bold writing is not to 'shout' but just to make the post clearer.:D
    You've heard the budget speech now you've been told. Make lots of cash then die before you're old 'Cause we're gonna Tax Gran that's what it is We're gonna Tax Gran freeze her allowances. You better hope next winter isn't cold. We're gonna Tax Gran, we're glad she's there.To subsidize the Billionaires. We're gonna Tax Gran and this is wrong!

    If they're hounding you for money just tell them to use the £51 they charged me for 3 months usage when I'd already cancelled my account and no longer had broadband with them.

    In the end I gave up trying to get it back as it was like going in circles and I was glad I was shot of them.

    Well, actually right now it is me who is hounding THEM for money!;)

    But I will remember your offer if I have to go to Court:D

    Please keep us informed with regular posts - I would hate to think I'd missed something in this landmark case.

    And if he does win it cites precedent and then the many others in the same situation will be able to use it to sue Orange.

    I thought I was alone with them billing me for money I dont owe, certainly the local CAB hadnt heard of the like, but this thread shows there are others and thats just those of us who use MSE and have come across the post.

    So how many people are orange screwing nationally, just because they're incompetent?
    'Landmark case', well if word gets out it may well be.

    Boozecruiser, I wish you well and hope you win, I think the negative comments from people come from those who have never been blighted with the incompetence of large faceless organisations, and have never faced the frustration and anxiety these types of incidents cause. So good luck ; )

    good luck Boozecruiser... im always surprised on this site by all the 'dont do it, your wasting your time' bregade... why do you use this site if not for this purpose? to either save yourself money or for information on how to make life better?????
    maybe you could all club together and start a new site.... 'moneywasters.com??'
    just an idea...

    once again good luck Booze, :)
    Life is like a box of chocolates........

    If you win and they don't pay, then you could send the bailiffs around!

    You lovely people just about cover all I would want to say:j

    I also wonder why certain apparantly mean spirited people visit this excellent Forum?
    Martin Lewis's Forum Logo says.............................................

    "Consumer Revenge".

    This is exactly what I am after because of two years Anxiety caused by Orange Harrassing me for money which I do not owe. I am aged 66 and my Wife 61, do not owe any money anywhere and are trying to enjoy our Retirement. Worrying letters and telephone calls from a Debt Collecting Agency do not help.

    £450 is a small amount to claim for what has happened to my Wife and I really, but if it does help set some sort of precident then GOOD.
