  • The PAC code is on it's way for the number they agreed to. It seems that they are allowing this. But I'm unsure about the other number ..

    Yeah I got that number aswell from Ofcom but I don't see the point in ringing it and escalting it further as Orange are now not changing there T&C so there is no reason for the contract to be cancelled

    Is there any point in ringing them?

    CISAS - no. Need to be at war with Orange via Letters first.

    My argument still stands - my consumer rights were not upheld and no company has the right to remove anyone's consumer rights. I pray Ofcom come through for us this time.

    Orange withdrawing obviously have realised they are in the wrong. So Ofcom should come back with something.

    Ofcom I beg you phone.

    They "apparently" have released a statement today. But still no sign of it anywhere. Phoned them first thing and they informed me of this.
  • Before sending you your data under the Data Protection Act they can by law charge you £10.00 for it, plus they can insist that you identify yourself to their satisfaction, photocopies of passports, driving licencse e.t.c.

    It's probably more trouble than it's worth asking them for the information, especially if you don't need it.

    didn't know this!
    scrub earlier suggestion :0(

    The woman I spoke to at the Orange Executive Office when I rang up after Ofcom give me the number

    She said they have decided not to because of the affect it will have on the business.

    They have confirmed the cancellation. So you should be fine. You even have the paperwork to back that up.

    If they reconnect all there customers....well if they do... don't know what will happen. Ofcom will surely have something to say then.

    If they do reconnect all there customers who left - then this whole situation in my eyes was to get more money out of people, I do wonder right now if that was there plan all along. Time shall tell...

    Yep. I got the old story of the word got around too much (lol - what do you expect?) and some clever wording about inconsistency. Just phone them up to get them to read out there morning notice to you. Its a joke, it really is - but really do listen to the wording of what they say.
  • So I just sat and read through 50+ pages getting very excited that I could get out of my cripplingly expensive Orange contract to now see on this page that they are no longer changing their T&C's, can someone please clarify for me - does this mean that I cannot cancel my contract now?
    Sorry if I'm being slow, I don't want to be on hold for 2 hours to be told 'computer says no'!
