Thanks have told her this as well. Now she is asking - if anybody here knows what happens with Sky, Plusnet and BT. They are all on contracts and in the joint bank account. Will they cancel the contracts? He won't want to pay for them if he is out of the house..

She should contact those suppliers to discuss things if she anticipates being unable to meet the payments as a result of him moving out. The suppliers won't necessarily terminate contracts as a direct result of one missed/late payment, and definitely shouldn't purely because of the separation (if that's what you are hinting at?)


It's not necessarily in Sky/BT etc.'s interests to disconnect their services (and thus run the risk of not recouping what they're still owed), when they could instead look at allowing your neighbour to downgrade to cheaper packages or lower her bills for a while until her circumstances are more stable.

Ok thanks Dennis. I think it would be easier getting her in here to do this in person as it's not great doing it this way, I don't know enough. Thanks.
