Cancelled FTTP order with Vodafone - they won't release my line

I ordered FTTP with Vodafone but cancelled because of very poor customer service. I've asked Vodafone to cancel 3 times but each time I try to order with BT I am told there is still an active order on my line so my order with them gets cancelled.

Is there anything else I can do? As I say I've asked Vodafone 3 times now.

    You need to escalate this as a formal complaint with Vodafone.  Unless it's a formal complaint no-one cares about how much time is wasted and it's very difficult to get compensation.

    Yes I thought of that. There doesn't seem to be an email address for complaints - just a snail mail - I don't want to use that as letters are easily "lost".

    Or phone or on line form.



    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    I have spoken to Vodafone complaints who say that the order has now been properly cancelled. Strangely I then received an email from BT Customer Services to say my complaint has been closed. I never complained to them.

    I will check with BT to see if the Vodafone order has indeed been cancelled,
