    Obvious question, are you sure it was 12 months and not 18 ?

    How many months in are you ?

    Going to be hard to help until you get their breakdown. . .
  • 24 months at £12 thats what i took out with them but they are not answering my question of a bill breakdown

    Sorry, when I read the first post I got the 12 and 24 round the wrong way !

    Odd, usually when you offer to pay off early you pay less not more ?
    Is there anything in the T&C's about a penalty for early closure ?
    Did you get any 'free gifts' they now want to charge you for ?
  • no i even had to pay £50 for the phone i will have to chase them up i have never had this problem before so its interesting to see what they will come up with as much as it hurts i will be happier when i get rid of this company they have a dubious way of doing things :o
