    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?

    I think that you may have missed the sarcasm of the post....

    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!
