Finished Orange Contract, HELP!!!

[DamoWales]

Basically,

Finished my contract with Orange 3 months ago,

Sent them a letter at start of may stating that i would like to cancel the contract,

Been billed today for 2 months worth of payments...and im being billed for the 30 days cancellation period.

I took out new contract with them on April 29th as i thought this one would just expire.

Now they want £83+ £40 (this cancellation month) from me,

Anything i can do to stop these c***s. taking that money from me?

not really. I have done the same with vodafone, i got a company phone with T Mobile so needed to cancel my contract, i still had 4 months left but basically to end it had to pay the full 4 months, or leave the contract open until the end - in each case you need to give them 30 days in writing, even if you contract has ended, and you will be billed for that 30 day period.

My contract ended on May 9th, so its not like i ended early and didnt use it since May 9th. Totally pissed off with this, been with them 5 years, and my 2 brothers/mother have contract with them
