I'm toying with the idea of breaking my contract with VM.

Does anybody know what process VM follow?

I had a friend who had a phantom PPV film added to his bill, he called up and had it cancelled, but when it happened a second time, they refused.

As a result, he cancelled their services and received a final bill, which he fully intended paying.

Within a day or two, he was annoyed to find that they had passed the debt to a debt collection agency. He paid VM directly (including the PPV event that he never ordered!) and vowed to never use them again.

If I return the box, pay any monies owed and cancel the Direct Debit, what will VM do?

I'm assuming that they will raise a charge and, as above, pass it onto a debt collection agency.

I no longer need a clean credit report and baliffs will have all rights of implied access removed, not that they bother me.
