BT Complaints Indan Call Center wish to move

I am in Debt to bt roughly £90 cause the dam indian call centres cant stand english and I have been trying to change my direct debit date for months now with them the question is they want to cut me off. Cause of their idiot Behaviour.

I was wanting to go to zen internet which seems to have way better reviews. I want to leave them and go with another company but to my stupidy I renewed contract not long ago with BT but to be honest I am totally feed up of their lack of communication skills with their customers and relying on indian call centres.

What would happen if i just leave bt and move to zen !

    You are in contract as i understand from your confusing post .
    If you just leave in contract then BT will ask for the remaining months to be paid .
    Fail and they may send in debt collectors and trash your credit record .

    If you just leave then they will most probably sell your debt to a collection agency and you'll have the hassle of them for years to come. That would be the £90 you already owe plus whatever the ETC is for your remaining contract period.

    I don't get why you are calling them to change the DD date though. It seems you can do it yourself online.

    It seems like you haven't helped yourself in this situation.

    The biggest error was in some way renewing a contract which you were not satisfied with, Wait till you've completed the fresh minimum term and then just select a new provider and sign up - no need to talk to them again,

    Contracts don't have a stupidity break clause. If you have a problem with BT then you have to raise a complaint with BT. If you don't want to talk to them then visit https://www.bt.com/complain
