    I did that and all I got was automated replies saying they couldn't discuss my account due to data protection and I had to provide my name, address, telephone number , account number on the email before they would reply. This info was already at the top of each email sent.

    Its OK saying you have fully informed the company (I sent recorded letters too) but they don't take any notice and hand it over to debt collectors - even though I didn't owe anything. Because I had moved house I did not want someone wrongly entering a CCJ against me at my old address just because they wouldn't sort out my simple cancellation request. Google 'Pipex problems' and you'll see I wasn't the only one.
    I tend to take the long view. If you can prove that you gave them the information fifteen different ways using three different methods then they don't have a leg to stand on should they try to take you to court or should you take them to court.

    The question I find most silly (and some people here seem to think it is a sensible question to ask although I can't for the life of me see why) is "What price will you accept"? The answer of course is "as high as I can get", although normally out of some decorum I ignore the question and let the questioner arrive at his own conclusion.

    'Well, I'm asking £xxk so it's a fair bet I'll accept that'.

    Of course it is possible that there is someone else interested who will also offer that in which case all bets are off :D (Can happen)
