Cancelling my BT TV service
Options

Hey everybody,
Just looking for a bit of advice.
I have just tried to cancel my BT TV and broadband package. I tried doing this on live chat but I got told it must be done via phone.
The problem is, at the minute I do not have access to a phone to make or receive calls. Even if I did, i do not wish to speak to them anyway.
They told me that can process a request but it may take longer than 14 days. That is no good for me as I wish to cancel immediately.
Am I able to just cancel my direct debit or could they take me to court for this?
I gave notice on live chat but to the billing department, would that suffice?
I am out of contract in 2 weeks time.
Thanks in advance,
Steven

Cancelling the DD doesn't cancel the contract. It just gives you some extra fees to pay.
If notice needs to be by phone, you need to find a phone. Any phone boxes in your street?0 -
