Sarcasm is very difficult to detect on forums0

how is £1.50 more realistic ?
I Think you might be misunderstanding the "penalty" charges.
It was just standard usage charges.
Or shouldn't phone companies be allowed to charge based on usage now?
Jesus sufferingI think that you may have missed the sarcasm of the post....
Whoooooooooossssssssshhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!Wait.... you weren't being serious back there....???
Of course I wasSarcasm is very difficult to detect on forums
I thought it was pretty obvious, I'll try harder next time0 -
Definitely take it to the small claims court - these charges are disgraceful.
Don't just claim for the £77 less a more realistic £1.50 penalty charge leaving £75.50 to claim for - add on at least £200 compo for all the distress and worry this has caused you.
Also ask for a full page apology notice in EVERY daily newspaper. Maybe also consider a slot on BBC News as well.
Don't let them get away with it and make a stand.
Good luck!!!!!
You forgot to advise him to write to Watchdog and to try and get ITV to make a show with Jonathan Maitland (looking suitably upset) doing a sorrowful piece to camera about the iniquities the poor OP is facing.
The shock of it, how can a network expect you to pay for calls you make, scandalous!====0
