Just wanted to let you know , Orange called today and their legal team have reviewed my claim of non payment for the line, and the have waived the charge for the line rental. so although i am still waiting for my cashback to be paid, i have now not paid anymore monies to Orange for the line, so Thank you Orange. ( i did stop using the phone in aug 08)

I just felt i wanted to make a comment about express mobiles. Aug 2007 I took out an 18 month contract and was connected to Orange. like everyone else when it came to claimback, things took a turn for the worse. i did manageto get a chq from express mobiles back in feb 2008, but nothing else as yet. I to have taken them to the small claims court, which EM said they would defend. Lo and behold thy didn't defend so I won by default. Anyway after contacting Orange, they offered a slightly reduced tarrif, but as this then changed my terms and conditions i decided against. In Aug 2008, i stopped paying my direct debit to Orange as I hold them equally responsible for the line rental etc. I now ow Orange £181.16, and have their collection dept on mytail, But i am now telling their legal department that i won't pay because Orange should also be accountable for this cashback MESS. The mobile phone companies, have been in correspondence with ofcom, and petitions have been sent to Downing street, mobile companies should treat these clim baks fairly, and this is not happening. I am prepared to go to court, if necessary, to help people who get caught in these traps by unscrupulous dealers looked after.
