    I would imagine a call to CS would resolve this and get the charge removed.

    Lisa check that the direct debit was set up properly in the first place. A lot of CSR's forget to click the activate button.

    Do you have broadband service with them? It automatically puts u onto ebilling, without them letting you know. Check with the CSR.

    The 2 months free offer is usually on month 3 and month 6.

    The above may not be strictly true any more, but I know these problems existed when I worked with them a few years ago. Nice to see they are still having the same problems, NOT!:confused:
