BT charging Line Rental twice for cancelling

Hi, I was hoping someone would be able to help me.

I have moved house and cancelled my BT phone and broadband. I had taken the option of paying Line Rental Saver (paying annually in advance) as it saved about 30%. This would've taken me up to the end of June 2014.

I understand that I do not get any refund on this as I am cancelling. However on my bill I have been charged Line Rental for the 3 months taking us up to June. I have called BT and have been advised this is correct (that I am basically paying Line Rental for the 3 months April - June twice).

Is this right? I don't believe I should be being made to pay this twice. I cannot see anything in the terms and conditions that mentions this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

  • I've recently cancelled with Bt and they charged me for an extra month but then refunded it.

    You should surely pay your line rental saver to the end of the contract - so June if it's June but you've paid that up front and then your broadband monthly charge to the end of that contract but that's it
