Hello,


I will be moving from my property and had renewed my contract before knowing this would be the case. And reading the terms of the contract I have the right of 14 days, these are the terms as written by BT:


The legal stuff

Your right to cancel

You've got 14 days from the day your service starts or kit arrives, whichever is latest, to cancel.


So I spoke to them today but could not get through to the legal team at all since they only work mon-fri (which is fine) and the customer service advisor said "oh that's just wording" to which my response was, wording is important in a contract, it doesn't specify if kit needs to be new or old but it says "whatever is latest", which is important and from my old knowledge of contracts I'm aware of how vague this is but it could also be a loophole.


Since I've spoken to someone from the faults/tech team they've said I should have been sent out the new box which is for the fibre 2 service but he's the only one that mentioned it to me. Also, as he checked their system which told them that is what I needed for my broadband to be working as intended.


So my question is, to anyone who has a deeper understanding of contract law - do I still have the right to cancel 14 days when I receive this new box, since I have NOT received the kit as advised on the phone?


The other option that I have before calling back on Monday to the legal team is that I've got the engineer to come out and if they can't get my speeds up then I can leave cancellation fee free but that is not until end of November.


I just want to caveat that I am happy to pay the cancellation fee which is hefty should it come to it, however since I've had many speed issues that I've reported and unresolved; I thought I'd try to find options to get out of this without paying that cancellation fee as I'm sure anyone in my position would.


Any help would be appreciated!

    • It was a reactionary post and inappropriate when talking about a real case and a real person who was harmed.  London streets are generally pretty safe.  Sadly violent crime happens from time to time, as it always has.
    • Do tell, CPR Dave, what the spiteful jealous stuff is - I'm intrigued.  Agree - Burnham is a top class communicator (polar opposite of Starmer) he'd do a great job of uniting the party. I still think Wes Streeting has the edge, though I'm sure he has more enemies as well. 
    • This is a huge part of the problem.   Starmer is only interested in himself, not in what is best for our country.    There's a litany of stuff he's done for spiteful jealous personal reasons which has damaged the nation enormously. Burnham would be a much better leader than of the other dross left behind when Starmer goes. To inflict a worse leader (and PM) upon us for his own selfish reasons would add to the problems and be entirely in keeping with his woeful premiership so far.
    • I heard today there was a burglary in Lacon Road yesterday evening between 20.00 - 22.00,  apparently the owners were home at the time & thieves got away with electrical items along with the owners car!  Wtf!   Anyone heard anything else?
