Breach of Contract?

methecooldude

Hi all,

First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong place, please move it if so

Anyway,

I recently recieved by February bill from Utility Warehouse (for my Gas, Electric, Landline and Internet), however I've noticed that I am now being charged for geographical calls, checked my January bill, same thing, checked December, that's correct (geographical calls free).
Now when I signed up it was advertised FREE anytime calls to UK landlines and I haven't received any notification of change to how I am billed for calls.
UW have since changed their website to show that the "Free" calls are evening and weekend only.
Am I correct in presuming that they are in breach of contact as they didn't notify me that they were changing the call charges?
If so, what recourse could I have against them?

Kind Regards
Rich

Are these calls over an hour long?

Nope, none. The worst on the Feb bill is 10 minutes :rotfl:

There is no contract breach. This is a billing issue, which is governed by the Tariff. Details of this will be published in their Price List, which will be published (usually) on their website. This is an OFCOM requirement of their licence.

The codes that are deemed 'geographic' will be defined. It is not safe to assume all numbers commencing 01, 02 & 03 will be included as there are a number of NNGs (National Numbering Group) codes that start 01, but will be chargeable - notably those in other non UK territories a IoM, Guernsey & Jersey, for example.

Look up the price list and check the code for the disputed number, if the PL says it is included, you have been overcharged, however as I suspect, you dialled an overseas territory 01 number, their charges will be justified, and correct.
