Cancelling BT contract early

hi all

Looking for a bit of help here!

I signed up for a BT vision, broadband and phone line contract about 6 months ago but I'm leaving the tenancy early and no longer need the package.

They have said I can transfer to a new house or if nothing is done and the new tenants install broadband, which they will do, I will be billed for over £300 and will have to pay it immediately. They won't even give the option to pay it off monthly.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

    If you cannot pay it off in a lump then await the bill coming, then contact them to say you cannot pay and you may find them more amenable to accepting payments on the drip!

    Why can't you t transfer BT's services to your new living accommodation?
  • Why do so many seem to think that they are hard done by when a Company imposes early termination charges on them - but they seem to think that if the Company does it to them.....................!!

    NOBODY seems to understand what a contract is.....
