    As I paid on a pro rata basis from the 25th January - 1st February by debit card (and following DD's on the 1st of each month) I assumed if I cancelled my direct debit I would be sent a finalised invoice with pro rata charges on between the 1st January and the 25th.
    Why did you assume that's what would happen? Did you get confirmation of this?

    You always have the option of saying "sue me for it" and walking away - they probably won't bother, especially if the obligation is ambiguous, or a judge may side with you for a more compelling case. Or they may do the smart thing, and give up on you and write it off.
