Contracts
Hi folks. Am very new to all this forum stuff so apologies if I've messed it up. I took out a contract 16 months ago. The original contract was for 12 months. I've found someone cheaper so I've just tried to cancel the existing contract as I'm 4 months past the finishing date. I've been told by the company that even though it was a 12 month contract originally...as i didn't cancel on the 12 month deadline...the small print says I'm locked in for another 12 months. Is there anything I can do to get out of this treachery from the company in question. Cheers

There doesn't appear to be any treachery. At least, not on their part.
An annual renewal is very common in annual contracts.0 -

Can't see any treachery here, just a failure to read the terms and conditions that you signed up to.0
