No point getting annoyed with them for keeping to the contract.

Sorry, I think I misunderstood you. Wasn't debating that I would have to pay the £144 and wasn't going to write a letter about that...cos obviously that is their policy, my point in my post was that I was expecting them to beg me to leave so I would have to go through my whole issue again - but they didn't!

Was going to write a letter about my whole problem (see above^^^^) - not the fact that they charge you a cancellation fee!

Crikey Mei, you would think that at least one person in an organisation as big as Orange who have a bit of common sense and have sorted this out by now. Have you thought of going to the mobile phone ombudsman to see if they can offer you anymore help/give you some more clout.

2) All was fine, so I thought, until I received June and July bills totalling over £1k - they hadn't disabled the internet access they had deleted the free unlimited data call package from my tariff so I was now being charged for all my data calls.

3) Since then I have been charged for data calls on all subsequent bills, been cut off 5 times (cancelled my DD as I wasn't going to allow them to take £600 out of my account) because I hadn't paid - I called them each time saying I don't mind making a payment but these data charges need to be credited first.

4) Was put on a 250mb free usage package so if I go over (unlikely I know - but thats not the point) I will have to pay.

5) My august bill still has data charges on it, the guy I have spoken to today has asked his supervisor to start me on the free 500mb package on sept 21 and to recalculate my bills - I added my July bill up with him on the phone and it was incorrect.

If I hadn't spoken to the guy in point 5 I would have written a letter (have logged all calls/dates/who I spoke to).

Why shouldn't I? :/

As far as I am concerned I have been through a lot of agro having to call Orange every month since June about my bill and 5 times for being cut off, my bill is STILL being wrongly calculated and all because someone at Orange made an error.

That is fair enough, but I have no problem with that, but I never got the impression that was the reason you were going to be writing to them for.

If it helps I have always had a distinct dislike for Orange. Awful company who don't care for their current customers. Hope they sort it out.

Ooh 'eck! That still rumbling on! Give 'em hell. They deserve it. Dunno what it is with Orange but going by past history they seem incapable of making account changes. They did exactly the same to me a few years ago (cancelled my data package and charged me at the ££/MB rate), then this year I ask for a downgrade and end up with both packages on my account. :/

I wrote to them wanting my £1 back (other airports offer you the bags since it's them imposing their ruleso n you, so it's not your problem if you don't have a bag). It took 4 letters, and I asked for reimbursement for the postage too - I got a cheque for £2.20p - I felt so so petty but I didn't care.

That really is petty. I don't think it is the fault of Luton Airport that you didn't have a plastic bag for your liquids. The rules (which aren't 'theirs' in any case) have been in place for a few years now so why not be prepared and grab a bag from home?

I agree that they're taking the piss asking £1 for a bag but is £1 worth kicking up a fuss about? Most other Airports dish them out free, but so what?

4 letters plus time at the Airport for a £2.20 cheque? I value my time at a lot more than £2.20.

Good for you. And it wasn't for me it was for Sam, and yes I've been to airports lots thanks, but other airports hand bags out. Why should I bring my own? That's just plain retarded.

Yes it's petty for a stupid amount of money, but who the **** cares - it's my time (well my lunch time at work) so what does it matter.

I'm glad your time isn't worth that much, whoopee do.
