At the beginning Sept '11 I rang Sky to cancel my contract, which I had had for 11 months etc. thinking I was all within their terms, but they said you have to cancel EXACTLY a month in advance so ring back in 9 days, instead I just decided to cancel the direct debit as I worked out they'd already taken 12 payments as they took 2 in the first month. The day I cancelled the direct debit I unplugged the sky box so if they are able to check whether I was still watching they'll find out I wasn't.

I've had tonnes of letters from them saying we're unable to take payment we will have to cut you off, and eventually they did, they first got wescot credit services who text me day after day saying call our premium 0844 number to discuss, then 9th Jan Nelson Guest & Partners Solicitors and now scotcall are texting me.

The "debt" is over £21.50 or 1 months rental

They've all threatened about knocking on the door or taking me to court, but I don't actually live at that address anymore, my mum does still live there though which isn't ideal

Sky have rung saying they'll reconnect and wipe the amount if I start another direct debit, but I don't want sky anymore so didn't go there

What would you advise? Make contact with one of them? If I repay them I'd want to do something annoying for them like 10p a month as they made it so difficult to cancel my contract, I'm a student so the no money problem is easy to blag, do you think they'll carry on if I continue ignoring them? Can I just get put on skys blacklist? lol

So they gave you clear instructions what to do but you decided to ignore them!

Now you will have a crap credit history. Well done.

Stop behaving like an immature child and pay wha you owe.

Start a new thread. All you have done is got everyone responding to a problem which died a death a year ago.
