    I don't know, but once you cancel the contract you get written confirmation, no ifs and or buts! I have been with 3 and got written confirmation, so why shouldn't you?

    Without confirmation, the contract is not cancelled, worst thing you can do is just cancel the direct debit.

    The PAC code will only cancel your contract if another network uses it to transfer your number to them.

    if that doesn't happen, then the PAC code expires and the contract isn't canceled.

    cancelling your direct debit is never a good idea, this just prevents them from getting payment, as you didn't pay what was owed, they defaulted your account.

    doesn't sound like there would be any way to remove the default as you didn't complete the cancelation process

    But you didn't pay what you owed.

    What you need isn't the company's problem, and therefore the default has been correctly issued.

    I feel that unless something is in writing, then it should not be trusted under any circumstance.

    If this was me personally cancelling something, on behalf of my own company, then it could be assured I would do it, but I'd still pop something in the post/in email to say it's been done.

    I've just spoken on another thread about how phone companies need greater regulation, however something I do feel, is that the consumer should chase this up and follow the company's own complaints process, before resorting to cancelling a payment method when there may be something contractually owed on the account.

    I do appreciate the angle you've taken on this, however the arguments that have been given suggest to me, that the default is issued correctly and therefore will remain for six years, from the date of default.
    If yes i will go and hang my self

    I feel the need to place this here, but if this is the case, please speak to Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90.
