Hello, probably about 4 months ago we took out a home phone package with FTTC. At the time we were told that you would fix our line rental for 1 year with no increases.
Therefore, to say I'm narked about the email I have recieved about an increase is an understatement.
I have already sent a question to support which they have replied to, which didn't answer my original question. They reply just said that Ofcom stated it wasn't a detrimental change to the contract. Well, that's fine and dandy but if you are telling customers you will fix their line rental at a certain price for the 1st year, then you raise it, that certainly sounds like a detrimental change to my contract.
I would like someone to look at the notes on my account because this was offered to me verbally when I signed, so I don't have a written record. It was part of the reason I signed and don't while the increase isn't very much, I don't like the fact it appears I was lied to in order to help secure a lucrative home and FTTC contract.
This needs sorted. The account we use may or may not be tied to this forum account, I really dont' know but I can supply anything that's needed.
Thanks,
Mark.

I've found your account, thanks.
I'm taking a look over your account now and will sort out any discounts we've promised you.
I'm going to go and speak (:mand:) to the agent who said that as they are incorrect. Ofcom haven't said anything about our price charges and they *are* a detrimental change.

Thanks for looking into it chaps. I know BT have put it up and therefore you need to pass it on and I also know that it isn't very much, but I've been with you for years (my old personal account, and now this married account) and you've never fibbed to me yet!
