Well I tried, I phoned up and explained, the guy went off to find out if I was telling the truth ref early termination fee : is amount of months left on contract X monthly payments left - VAT and - 25% early payment discount
+ whatever showing on my account I owe this month on top of monthy tariff

so I have 8 months left at £12 a month = £96
less VAT = £79.20
less early payment discount ( source ofcom) of 25% = £59.40
plus add on what shows I owe on my account this month on top of £12 tariff
which is £5

grand total I make the early termination fee of £64.40

expained all this to the guy from virginmobile that I wanted to pay this
ETF and upgrade to a £30 a month contract but he was having none of it

he agreed that I have 8 payments left at £12 a month but said that I owed another £45 on top of the £96 (8 x £12) but he couldn't explain why or how I owed this extra money...I told him that I was on the account page for my phone on the internet which shows I owed £5

we were going around in circles, in the end I thanked him and ended the call...I want to pay a reasonable ETF and upgrade my contract from £12 a month to £30, as Moldova put it earlier you would have thought they would have wanted to help me
