Glad it got sorted in the end. I hope they've sent you that letter!
If not, send a letter to Customer Services (and also to a director/ someone high up and Ofcom - ). Detail all correspondence, phone calls etc you can remember and tell them that you consider your contract to be finished as of 28th Feb. Send a copy of the letter they sent - firmly stating you never requested this extension, and tell them you're cancelling your direct debit. This is a contract you never requested so you are not bound by it.
Contact the bank and make sure DD is cancelled.
You might want to read the following article from the Ofcom website about roll over contracts. I don't know if this applies, but it might be of use?

I have been told the letter will be written on the 17th and sent out then, they wont send anything sooner after 3 separate phone calls. I want to cancel the DD but the final payment comes out mid march so can't do that as yet.
I am ready to pounce should anything not go to their given schedual, heads will roll as I kinda go a bit crazy when stuck with the sheer volume of automated systems that is 3-mobile. Its really in their favor to do as they have said they will or heads will almost literally roll!
Thanks for the link, just hope I don't need to use it!0
