Garrp Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 18 months is fuck all, bite the bullet and take great pleasure in fucking them off. 18 months is Jan 2016, right after Xmas when everyone is tightening their belts and fucking off things like Sky. This is the thing I don't even want to cancel and I never ring up trying to get a better deal. The only reason I would cancel is if I move abroad, which im not going to. but however way you spin this they have tricked me into having an 18 month deal. I don't like that. Honestly think im going to pay the contract up in full and send them the box and remote back recorded delivery telling them they have lost a customer for life.

Garrp Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 It looks like there's no cooling off period on re-contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted July 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2014 It looks like there's no cooling off period on re-contracts. hmm was going to suggest looking into this but it doesn't mention when you are "renewing" http://whatconsumer.co.uk/cooling-off-and-cancellations/#.U9D5U9JDvTc "The purchase of goods and services over the internet, by phone or by mail order generally is subject to the Distance Selling Regulations. One of the most important implications of these regulations is a cooling off period of 7 days during which you have the right to cancel."

Moderators Zico Posted July 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2014 first couple of forums that looked at suggest it happens a lot but most just lump it http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?290101-Internet-subscription-renewals-and-distance-selling-regulations http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=4512921 suspect you have 2 choices: 1) lump it (then fuck them off when it's up and let them know why, and let them know now you'll be doing it) 2) cancel direct debit, fuck them off and risk the un paid debt route which might end up with you in court demanding justice and getting it or you ending up with a fine and sky till dec 2016 i've got no idea on point 2, i made it up, quick research suggests most folk go with option 1 cunts eh i keep meaning to ring orange and ask why I get charged every month for extra data than what i'm allowed on my plan, even though my phone data usage has shown me as not going over the limit for a few months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrp Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Kushal13:32 The cooling off period if only while having a new contract while joining TV or Talk and Broadband. Kushal13:32 There is no cooling off period for renewing contract. Me 13:33 Ok. Can you show me where it states this in the terms and conditions? Me 13:33 specifically the last bit you said Kushal13:34 It is not there. Kushal13:34 But we provide correspondence regarding cooling off period while joining Sky.

Juan.Kerr Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 This is the problem when you buy something from somewhere that doesn't have a shop. They can tell you to fuck off from behind a keyboard. If they had a shop you could go round and punch their fucking lights out discuss it with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 In sky's defence Garp mate I have just pressed the red button and it gave me 2 options... 1- get it for free with no conditions 2- get free broadband for 24 months on an 18 month contract However I was wary of it and double checked it after your experience They should still offer a cooling off period though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
