Unfortunatally, from what I am aware, legal aid doesn't allow for counter suing, the costs for this are very high. Ntl will not be forced into taking you to court, and it is vary rare that ntl would in fact take an individual to court to recover a nominal amount, if it's thousands then maybee but if its pounds (anthything under £800) then the debt is usually "sold" to a debt collection agency who will then take up the case, then you definatally can't counter sue. Also, in a court of law it's you word against ntl's, unfortunatally for your sake ntl records wills show the date the bill was sent on, now if that doesn't arrive to you it isn't ntl's fault, it isn't yours either and case closed, nobody wins.
However, if you find out your billing date it would make it easier for you. If you don't recieve a bill within 5-7 days of your billing date, call in and let them know... that way they will record it, and also make sure another one is sent out, without a detrimental effect to your credit rating. This is just a suggestion that should help, take it on board if you wish or don't, it's up to you.

DD? utter b0ll0x, it is law, it is a guarantee that the banks are governed by, and all of the points are valid. It is not a blank cheque, especially if you are on Cable Broadband only, your charges are a SET monthly fee. if you don't like this fair enough not everyone does but this really doesn't make sense. Have you tried speaking to somebody about this? Maybe you'd get somewhere if you did.
