    Hi RandomCurve,

    Just sent this email off to EE. Hoping to get out of this as it's a joke they rise my fixed fee from what we agreed!

    My contract was taken out Sept 2012 (iPhone 5) I have a case right?

    It will be on its way - unless your contract started before March 2012 or after 23rd January 2014

    Hi there

    Just received a letter from EE re this (i'm on t-mobile).

    Took out my current plan Aug 2013 (was previously on payg with t-mob for about 2 years). What is my best plan of action? Send the email on the previous page?

    Many thanks

    Hi,


    I would just like to say thank you for the template letter, Were struggling each month with our payment to EE as our circumstances financially have changed since taking a 2yr contract back in sep 2012 but we have honoured the contract. What these companies do is wrong, I agreed to a monthly amount which I honour, they will not let you terminate the contract without paying a huge cancellation fee but they can increase the amount.


    I have sent the template letter and keep my fingers crossed, I will though be happy if they do not apply the increase to my account.
  • Hi Random Curve,

    Just copied your letter, thanks for that, going to send it in a minute.

    My price rise wasn't devestating, but I feel as though it is more the principle with this company now.
    The price of my contract now I could have an iphone on contract and better limits!
    I have had trouble from day one of starting my contract with them and it seems they can do anything and get away with it.

    I will update on progress with it!

    Regards,

    thank you RandomCurve. Just sent off your template regarding my Orange contract i had taken out August 2013.
    It is totally unfair to decide to charge more than a £1 extra each month. Many thanks for your efforts and help with the template. i will keep you posted on how i get on.
