Orange Invalid Contract?

hi all,

I took out a phone contract about 19 months ago at Carphone Warehouse. At the time it was stated as being a 18M contract duration and the paperwork given to me states a 18m phone contract.

I contacted Orange to cancel after the 18m was over, however they are saying on their system it shows as a 24m and not willing to cancel it.

Have spoken to CPW who say on their system they are showing as it being a 18M, they have spoke to Orange whom are still saying no to cancellation.

I would be grateful to know what the next step i can take? and weather this should be resolved by CPW or Orange?

Thanks In Advance :)

    Hi,

    It would be carphone warehouse who would have to resolve this. When you purchase an orange contract through CPW, they send something called a 'smartform' which contains all your contract details.

    Basically, Orange do exactly what CPW have told them to do on the 'smartform'.

    Hope this helps!
