  • Orange Home Broadband

    Feeling a bit foolish with this one.........


    Does anyone remember my epic battle with Talk Talk??!! The one where my other half had to book into a hotel to be able to work!!

    In the period between me leaving Talk Talk and returning to BT, I used Orange Home broadband on a monthly £14.99 basis. I set up my account in July 06 and cancelled it when I was sorted with BT on 1/11/06......or so I thought

    Only today when I received a letter from Orange informing me they were upgrading my broadband 'at no extra cost'!! yippeeeee....NOT:devil:

    I rang and they confirmed that I had indeed cancelled my account on the 1/11/06 but I had not cancelled the second 'ghost' account that had mysteriously appeared on the same day I opened my original account, for the same phone line......... GRRRR

    Well its obvious innit, one broadband account was clearly not enough so I bought 2!!!

    They have been taking payments from a little used mastercard and I hadn't realised what was going on because I have an Orange contract mobile phone and assumed it was something to do with that....not that I had checked properly to be honest.

    £225 has been taken in total and they are only offering me £100 back despite the fact that they concede the account has never been used at all.

    I'm thinking a quick LBA then whack in a claim.....just wondered if anyone had any suggestions as to the arguments I could use.

    Cheers in advance
    "Although scalar fields are Lorentz scalars, they may transform nontrivially under other symmetries, such as flavour or isospin. For example, the pion is invariant under the restricted Lorentz group, but is an isospin triplet (meaning it transforms like a three component vector under the SU(2) isospin symmetry). Furthermore, it picks up a negative phase under parity inversion, so it transforms nontrivially under the full Lorentz group; such particles are called pseudoscalar rather than scalar. Most mesons are pseudoscalar particles." (finally explained to a captivated Celestine by Professor Brian Cox on Wednesday 27th June 2012 )

    I would use the "you're a bunch of monkeys" defence

    It's obviously their mistake, I'd write to them with just a request for payment, give them 7 days, then LBA and a further 7 days. Give them a chance to settle the matter before you threaten them.

    I can't see them having ANY defence what so ever for that!

      Nor me Matt, even the helpful guy 'Michael' in the 'Escalations' department said he was shocked they were being so unhelpful. He thought I'd get a full refund.

        I'm amazed they even had the audacity to offer you £100, shocking!
