    Lee,
    thank you for responding. This is particularly welcome as yesterday I did not receive (for the second day/occasion) the promised phonecall from a manager in relation to my concern. This was despite assurances when I phoned mid-day, that I would still receive a phonecall before 6.30
    So, in summary, I have had 3 days off work trying to address this and ongoing problems with promised phonecalls not occurring. One phone call I did receive was to discuss upgrades!

    I phoned today and was cut off....exceptionally poor service.

    I will email you now with the details I have had from Consumer Direct/Ombudsman in relation to The Sales of Goods & Service Act 1982

    My contract with Vodafone expired in March last year and I decided not to renew. Vodafone continued taking money from my account! After a couple of very long and expensive phone calls, they promised to refund my money and cancel everything. This month, after a break of about six months, I have just received another email telling me I have an online bill - which I can't access as I don't have an account!! I can't believe I am still being pestered by Vodafone a year later!!

    I meant to update this but have had to take personal leave for family reasons. In the spirit of fairness, I should say that in early March Vodaphone (Lee from this forum) has contacted me and taken time to investigate and look into a potential solution. I am hopeful that this is heading in a positive direction (Carphone Warehouse are also writing to me as part of a combined solution)

    Thank you Lee for consistently following through.

    Apolologies for late acknowledgement. Lee sorted out my difficulties fairly and promptly. He actually pursued this despite my being difficult to contact due to bereavement then a family accident.
    So impressed I've renewed with Vodaphone
    much Appreciated
