I cancelled and live in France and am still being billed

[colinbar]

Hi,
I cancelled my package by phone on 30/6, (received confirmation back from them a week later) we gave them the 20/7 as moving date and the engineer turned up on 19/7 to take the STB, I asked him to leave the phone on till the next day, although he said he would, an hour later the phone was dead.
We received a statement at the end of July charging us upto 25 Aug, I accepted that as I took it to be under the 30 day notice.
I gave my daughter's address as a forwarding address and she tells me that we have just received another invoice from NTL for £87 and billing us for the next period upto 25 Sep.

I do not want to have to start ringing up from France and being held in a queue for ages and then paying a hefty telephone bill because of NTL's mistake. (0800 numbers cost from France)

Has anyone got any alternate ideas I can do to sort this out??

Regards

If you have had a confirmation letter about cancelling your account make sure you cancel your DD while you bring up the issue of being billed while not getting the service.

Hi SLM,
Thanks, but yes I have cancelled the DD after they took the previous bill beginning Aug.

Hi,

I have just received the copy of the invoice from NTL that my daughter had forwarded to me and she had not mentioned that there was a CR by the amount! NTL had credited most of my previous invoice.
Well she has only just started living independently so she has a few things to learn like you do not pay invoices that are in credit. I suppose I should also learn not to jump the gun and wait to I had the invoice in my mits.

C'est la vie....
