1&1 Internet

The feckers.

 

I've been out of the UK for the last few months, and just came home to the usual pile of mail.

 

I always keep on top of things by using internet banking, direct debits etc., and have never had any real problems. However, I was alarmed to find that 1&1 Hosting had ignored my cancellation email of their lousy hosting, and wrote to me a couple of weeks back to tell me that they have started court proceedings against me. I am faced with paying a total of 230 quid by Monday, most of it being 'legal fees', or they'll attempt a CCJ against me, so they say through their solicitors.

 

I'd like to tell them to get fecked, but obviously I'm a tad worried that my credit rating will be knacked. I've Googled and found that lots of other folks have had the same problems, and have decided to either cough up or tell them to get lost.

 

Any advice at this 11th hour?

Do you have a record of your cancellation email?

 

If so, I'd write to them (sent recorded delivery), and include a copy of the cancellation email. See what they come back with.

 

Also, if they have started legal procedings against you then you will already have a black mark against your name, so you'll want to ensure they get it expunged from your record once this affair is over with.

 

Good luck!

if you have a record of the cancellation tell them you'll see them in court

I've got a copy of the email, so hopefully it will be sorted. Just hope that they will leave my credit rating alone. Bastards.
