Mobile phone cancellation
9 Answers
My friend cancelled her phone contract about 6-8 months ago by calling up the provider, the lady on the other end said you owe us �58 to close it which she agreed to. She has recently received a letter from a debt recovery agency saying she owes �400 to the mobile phone company! She called the mobile company and they said she should have put it in writing that she wanted to cancel, my friend explained that she wasnt advised to do this. - This didnt seem to make any difference and that the �400 is still payable. Does she have a leg to stand on by saying she wont pay it, or has she got to because it was a contract?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Agree with 4getmenot - Get all copy correspondence - Also have a look @ S.40 Administration of Justice Act 1970 re: causing harassment, alarm or distress in pusuing what is claimed to be a debt.
Debt Recovery Agencies are not Court appointed bodies. Their representatives are not Court appointed bailiffs.
Read S.40 of The Act and respond once you have received all copy correspondence. - Point out the offence they are comitting if they continue to harass you in this manner.
