Hello,
In July 2021 I went into an EE store with the intention of purchasing a rolling SIM only PAYG (non contract). However, the sales representative in the store seemed to have misunderstood what I wanted and signed me up for a SIM only contract. I corrected the sales rep in store and he told me he had cancelled the contract there and then. I left the store believing that I had not taken out a contract.
A short time after this I moved house. Now, more than 2 years later I am receiving letters from a company called BW Legal saying that I owe £360, which is the amount of the full contract. I called them and they told me that unless I can prove the debt is not mine, they will have to proceed with legal action, including making a claim with the County Court. They told me to try to contact EE to see if they can send proof that the number/contract was never used. Having contacted EE customer services, they told me there's no way they can find evidence that the number was never used or that I had cancelled it in store, since the contract was terminated in April 2022.
Any suggestions and help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
