Broadband suppliers Grrrr........

Tinytim

Hi all, sorry not to say hello for a while.....but I now have my internet access back.

I have just spent a delightful two weeks trying to explain to my phone/broadband supplier that I can't pay the pre BR bill (I have paid all since on the dot) because that would be preferring a creditor :rolleyes: so they cut me off.

It is very frustrating when each department has a different phone number, and all are premium rate :mad: and my mobile package doesn't include any numbers beginning with 07 or 08. I couldn't call them on the land line because they cut it off, and so it has been pen and paper......in the middle of a postal strike :mad:......oh well it is up and running now, but for how long is anyone's guess; customer services are still considering my circumstances :rolleyes:

Have a word with your official receiver, previous creditors are not allowed to contact you regarding pre-BR debts.

If a creditor contacts you after you have been declared bankrupt, you can simply inform them you have been made bankrupt and provide them any additional information they may require. You are not to make payments to them.

If a creditor continues to make contact with you, you can then provide them the information of the Official Receiver in your bankruptcy and also advise the Official Receiver. In most instances once you inform the creditor you are bankrupt, they can notate their records and will cease their contact, however occasionally a creditor may continue to chase you for payment.

Also, if a creditor contacts you in time after your bankruptcy has been discharged or anytime later, you do not owe the debt as in bankruptcy all your debts are placed; this even if you forgot to list one, or if a debt was transferred or sold and you had no knowledge of the transfer.

The problem here is that they don't contact me :mad:

I have to say that the amount involved is small, and with the OR's office being so busy, I wouldn't burden them with this anyway, although I do appreciate what you say.
