Extremely annoyed with EE

Account number: ******

Cancelled an iPad contract with EE back in February of this year, and made multiple offers to pay off the remainder of my contract but at a reduced monthly payment. Refused by EE and told to wait 28 days until my contract was actually cancelled, and the debt passed onto the collections department. One month later I am contacted by the collections department asking for payment. I make another attempt with EE to make a monthly offer to pay off my debt. Refused again and told to wait until I am contacted by an external debt recovery agency. Now I recieve a letter from Moorcroft Debt Recovery Services demanding the full payment plus an extra £58 admin charge. Thanks to EE and of no fault of my own, my credit rating has a big red mark placed on it because this debt is now in the hands of a debt collection agency. Have contacted my local Citizens Advice, and in the process of reporting this disgusting treatment by EE to OFCOM.

Really? Why blame EE? Being chased by debt collectors & the marring of your credit history was all down to you by refusing to settle up the remainder of your contract with the correct amount but instead offering a greatly reduced rate which EE couldn't possibly accept.

You'll get no joy from OFCOM who anyway do not handle individual complaints & particularly contractual disputes.

For your information: It wasn't that EE had refused the offers, they had refused to make up a paymant plan altogether. I didn't actually mention any specific ammount with them. I cancelled a contract with them because of "Financial Reasons" of which are none of your business. Thanks.

Hi @tarantulaman2

I am sorry to hear this has happened, to discuss this further I would suggest contacting our customer care team again who can access the account and see if they can help.

Thanks.
