You know when you ring up your provider (eg O2) they say in the answermachine messge that your call will be recorded...ya dee ya... well, when i was disputing an issue, i told whoever it was to go back and dig out all the old conversations that had apparantly been recorded and then come back to me. Perfectly legal and needless to say i never heard from them again!
Send a recorded delivery letter stating that you wish the contract to end as of ??? date
I have no idea whether you will need to pay from Oct but really you should always cancel contracts by letter, preferably recorded as then they cannot say they didn't receive it.
Special Delivery @ �4.30 is even better if you consider the amount of monies you owe now

I had the same problem with 3 about 12 months go, they were demanding about 98 pounds even though i had informed the that i wished to terminate my contract. Every time they sent me a letter I returned it with a covering letter saying "this contract was terminated on .........", I then got a letter from Moorcroft Debt Recovery Service, who were demanding the money, they got a letter back outlining the situation, and that I would be more than willing to see them in court, and that if they continued to persue this claim that i would instigate legal proceedings for harrasement, and would send them a bill for my time and expenses.
After a week or so I got a letter back saying the debt had been written off.
these big company's annoy me, they think they can intimedate you. My advice is refuse to pay them, and tell them you will be happy to go to court.
