Hi
my first post so please be gentle!
I'm with talk talk and my contact ends in february. i'm going away due to family problems but not actually moving out.
The problem is that i need to move all bills off my name and into my partners as he will be responsible for everything until i can return.
Can he take out a contract where he wants and keep the current landline number and will mine cancel automatically when he does this or is it not possible?
The other utilities are fine as I'm not in any fixed contracts.
thank you

    Your contract requires paying to February it is a fixed term .
    The best would be for him to take over your account Contact your ISP .

    The account is in your name ,so the only way to keep things as they are is to pay yourself and let him pay you what he owes.
  • thank you for replying.
    my problem is mainly that i will not have funds and as i will be out of the country if i get a problem with the service i cant contact the supplier, thats why transfering everything to partners name so he can deal with it all.
    will think of something somehow

    Thank you again
