Orange - What do I do here?

So presumably you are moving to PAYG and not looking to take out a new contract with another provider, since you're apparently content to trash your credit rating for no good reason?

I asked a simple question, gave my side of the story, replied honestly to your questions and have been polite with it. But just because I have MY own opinion on MY credit rating and your answers (that haven't told me something I don't really know) you decide to have a go at me.

Now I'm not saying I'm not grateful for the help (as backed up by the many times I've said thanks), but If I wanted advice on credit ratings and direct debits I would have posted a message in the correct forum. I was merely hoping that someone may be experiencing the same problem/s as me and would have a solution or/and could share their experiences.

Surely the whole point of a forum, where discussion and problem solving takes place, is to share experiences and maybe reach a common solution. Instead I've been given "stab in the dark" ideas, answers for something I didn't ask and I now appear to be being ganged up on...

I think this has run it's course now, don't you?

What you call 'ganging up' is simply a majority of posters not sharing your opinion. A rather different thing.
Yes, threads do often veer off-topic, but that's what you get in a public forum.

In your OP you have not made it clear that you didn't care about your credit history, that isn't very common.
Many people that do care about their credit history cancel or consider cancelling a DD without understanding the consequences. Are you suggesting to wait until they have the credit file(s) trashed and come back here (or to the correct forum) asking how to rectify this?
