I'm afraid how YOu would LIKE things to work is irrelevant. You are now putting yourself in a mess several levels higher than the one you started in - and the new one will take years to put right and only affect YOU! I strongly recommend you reverse what you have done or you will pay a very heavy price and have even more organisations on your enemy list before long.

I don't care. If you are prepared to pay them - GO FOR IT! I am not following you. Thousands of people may do the same thing as I have done. When signing up a contract with MC, no one would think he/she will be ended up with paying £80 a month or more; customers expect some cash back even not fully 100%.

I still stick with my original idea. I will pay them no penny if they keep saying there is nothing to do with Orange and are not trying to sort out the problem. I have nothing to do with Orange either, but I do have something to do with MC who broke the contract!

Thanks

I strongly recommend you reverse what you have done or you will pay a very heavy price and have even more organisations on your enemy list before long. If you don't want advice and knowledge there is little point in blindly writing on these threads. In addition, IF there is any recovery - unlikely as it seems - from MC/Dialmobile you will have forfeited your chances of regaining your cashbacks by breaking your contract with the network. It is an extremely foolish course of action to put it mildly.

I am also aware that there a few people in here are agents for service providers themselves. Who cares for that? I dont need your advice. I talked to many friends around, they have done the same things! Network providers are afraid if all customers bind together without paying any penny until a solution is found!

Looks like many of you aren't listening and are paranoid. There's no fool like.... A lack of wisdom dictates that when you don't get the answer you want the person giving good advice becomes some sort of "stooge" for the company who fleeced you in the first place. Ah, me! It's your funeral then!

"I am also aware that there a few people in here are agents for service providers" meanchak201

well, I always wanted to be a secret agent.... now my cover's been blown! Lol! In any case all the sensible advice on this thread has been given and not just by me. Those who are sensible will judge for themselves - I will leave this thread to the rest now and go ply my infultration elsewhere... before the network I am spying for is also discovered....!! Lol!

Mobilejunkie you are correct in what you are saying. Its the lack of wisdom that has left many now rueing the problems they see themselves in.
If you use the mobile service, you are deemed to have accepted the terms and conditions. One of the networks even has an award for clear English clarity glass award!, not sure which one.
If you cancel DD, you definitely come off worse for breach of contact. They would pile on the charges. It is sometimes better to heed advice, and cut your losses and run.

Unfortunate but true. I currently have 9 contracts (none with this outfit although I did get an application declined in July) fortunately!) with part of their organisation). It's a game played with real money and it seems a lot have been taken in without understanding the rules. It is possible to get totally free deals but none are risk-free. In this case people should (at the very least) have diversified their risks to other sources (bit like investments - not all your eggs in one basket, which I learnt the hard way in another context!).

It is not easy to hear what you don't want to hear, but the most valuable things on here are the ones with deal with reality and facts rather than anger and simplistic wish-lists. It is an extremely bad move for people to arbitrarily cancel contracts - a basic thing on here which has been covered many times long before this particular debacle. I am sorry for your predicament.

If some people are very wise and very educated, why do they bother writing threads in here???

The people in here come from very different background: IT, Finance, law etc. Some people are very quick to look down others; and think they are the cleverest. Some people here may be work for a larger company than Orange, but they try to keep their profile very low in here as they have family or friends end up with MC.

Not sure I understand that at all meanchuk201; but from what I can tell I've progressed from an agent to someone who looks down on people. Not sure if that's good or bad? What will I be next? Whatever makes you happy...!

Again back to reality - there are people posting who are only trying to be helpful and adding an insight into previous experiences of cashback co. collapses.

I have used cashback deals for 7 or 8yrs now (thankfully not once ending up with a collapsed co.) - but for present I am using PAYG till I see how CPW/Esave deals on price match work out. I did work as a consultant (for three months) for a mobile co in finance and know how the cashback system works and was astounded by the commission system from the networks.

However, the reality is that you have a contract with the network and they will be ruthless in pursuing a debt. You'll end up with the cash owed then debt collection fees on top and a bad credit rating.
Take the advice of the Trading Standards which is to continue to pay and throw yourself upon the mercy of the network. There have been instances in the past where they have agreed to downgrade customers substantially.

Remember that if there are sufficient folks complaining and taking up their operatives time plus the bad publicity they may well listen. To those that 'cut and run' they will pursue aggressively and the law (like it or not) is on their side.

This is purely unbiased advice gained from dealing with these deals.
