    You ideally need to speak to them NOW as if the bills continue to be left the next thing they'll do is forward the account onto a debt collection company & screw up your credit files for 6yrs

    If you default that the whole of the contract becomes due.

    As philnicandamy says, you need to contract them as soon as possible and sort something out. You're in a legally binding contract, you can't just stop paying and not expect something to happen. You could end up with a strike on your credit file which will stay there for 6 years, this would have a knock on effect on other things. . .
