Then please let us into the info, as this is possibly the same Committee that I was told by my MP had been formed and meeting since the begining of 2007.
Can you advise as to the Committee name or what MPs are involved?

Ofcom's code of practice.
Regulator Ofcom and the networks agreed a code of practice on the sales and marketing of mobile phones contracts this year. It states that the following terms are ‘unreasonable’ and you should not agree to them:

• A requirement that customers submit original statements. Copies should be acceptable proof
• A charge for processing a claim
• A requirement that claims are submitted in an unreasonably short period (anything less than 60 days, for example)
• Terms stating that a cashback payment will not be made if the customer has an outstanding balance on their account
