this service is an absolute disgrace...had it since april the 10th so exactly 14 days...in that time ive had agents swear at me, hang up on me and call me a liar all of which should be recorded...i havent signed any contract as i havent received any sort of welcome pack or terms and conditions so ive tried to cancel and they are quoting £500+ can they do this if ive only had it 14 days? id appreciate if anyone can advise the quickest legal way out of this and whether i would stand a chance going to a lawyer

    I'm a new customer and this is an extract from the "Your right to cancel" form included in my welcome pack.

    "In addition to your statutory rights we offer a 28 day money back guarantee. The 28 day money back guarantee is available to new customers and existing customers taking a new service. Please call us on 0845 454 1111 within 28 days of service activation to cancel and we'll refund the 1st month's rental/package charge and any installation charge. You will only be charged for transactions (e.g. calls, text, purchases, service upgrades) not included in your package. Your statutory rights are not affected."
