Help Please
Hello, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
We took out the 3 for £30 offer from NTL for TV, telephone and broadband. They took our postcode and advised that we could have this offer with no problems. It was installed with no problems. Due to our area we only got analogue TV as digital was not available in our area, but I didn't have a problem with this. Our problems started with our first bill, when the decided that we could not get the 3 for £30 as digital was not available in our area. After numerous calls to customer service and billing, they agreed that we could have the 3 for £30 offer. Since then however, not one bill has been right. We have been overcharged each month. Each month we phone up and they agree that it was wrong and say it will be corrected. Each month it is wrong.
We gout a bill in today for £64 and have had enough. We have now decided to cancel NTL compleatly. My girlfriend called them and told them we were cancelling the direct debit. They then said we would have to pay £400 to end the contract. The point is we never signed any contract.
Any advice. Should we just cancel the direct debit or will they send a debt collection service after us.
Thanks in advance.

I doubt there is any need for you to have to cancel, especially if you are happy with the services. The billing issues can I'm sure be resolved, it just needs someone at ntl prepared to do a bit of digging into the computerised systems.
We can escalate this for you with Cable Forum's ntl contacts. If you want us to do this, please PM me (see the button on the bottom of this post), with some details - account name and number, address, contact phone number (daytime) and email. Please also proivide some basic details of the billing issues. We will retain your information only as long as is needed to see ntl have addressed the information and won't use it for any other purpose.

Re: Help Please
If NTL have not stuck to what they said they have themselfs voided the contact and if you never signed one anyway its void as well

Re: Help Please
We won't be discussing it here as that would be off-topic but the notion that because you may not have signed an ntl contracts means it's not valid has (I believe) been disproven time and time again here.

We just got a call from NTL in Northern Ireland. Very nice, helpful lady who resolved the issues for us.
Thanks a lot for your help.

The person who mainly helps us out is based in NI, she's also a user of this site and if she wants to tell you more about her role, she can do so here however she has the right to privacy. One thing I will say though is she is not front-line staff which is why it's unlikely you'll get through directly to her if you call ntl. She has authority within the company which has given us a 100% success rate with any queries we've sent through to her.
Our policy is if someone had tried and failed to get somewhere with ntl through conventional methods, they can come here and we'll use our contact to escallate the issue.
