Self terminate Vodafone..

Options
Hi all..

I am looking to cancel my new contract with Vodafone after 3 months as every month since the beginning they have failled to get my bill correct.

I have been a customer 11 years now and this March when I upgraded I agreed to pay an upfront cost of £119 for my phone, S6 Edge which then brought the monthly bill to £43..

Since taking the contract out I have been billed £49 a month which is wrong and the whole point of paying the £119 upfront was for the smaller monthly bill.

I have called 3 times, each month to query this and was told I would be called back as the rep I spoke to wasnt able to deal with the query, I recieved no calls back.

I get my bill today and low and behold its £49..

Someone told me that I can now self terminate as a recent law has been made if a operator faills me like this I can get out of it?

Advice welcome..
Thanks

Dan

    Essentially no you can not get out of a valid contract .

    Is this exactly what the paperwork you received say?

    Did they also tell you how you don't have to pay tax as a Freeman on the Land?

    Might be worth asking your learned friend what relevant law they where quoting .
