well Mr A is better served to clarify these matters
, but its clear to many people that have looked at the bank charges options they were forced to persue as they were not getting any 'in good faith' as it were.
that 'Distance Selling
Regulations' and 'contract
law' are not 'consumer
law', and any clause in any consumer T&C contract that favours one party at the expense of the other party (not in good faith)can be deemed an invalid clause in most consumer contract cases.
but im not sure were the 'you will no longer be able to cancel your services under this paragraph' come in to this interesting thread...
the user is more likely today to contest the clause(s) in small claims court if VM give them reason to, rather than run away just as happened in the banks cases.
so perhaps its a fine line VM are playing, it almost seems VM dont think the UK user cash base are brave enough to take the US based board room on in the UK small claims court using the online webpage option now available? or generic SM claim forms at the court(see bank charges CAG website for info).
at the very least id think VM wouldnt want everyone getting fed up with the run around, and so start sending Data Protection Act notices for any and all data, that VM would then have to comply with each and every request, thats got to be a LOT of PAPER for a one off price for the users
