  1. Maybe the milk was off and doing you a favour . You can buy milk now cheaper than bottled water ( 98 pence in Asda for four pints )
  2. Did you sent the letter to Sky with recorded delivery , if so they would have to sign to receive it , if not you wouldn't have a leg to stand on . Why didn't you just ring sky on the day and tell them you want to give 31 days notice to cancel , they would of haggled a bit and dangled a carrot to make you stay but a phone call would of been the better option Sky do over charge for there package in my opinion but ring up and haggle !
  3. Same thing happened to us , we Brought a property that did have a key meter when we moved in and we asked our supplier to remove it which they did . We totally forgot all about it after that , but 8 years after the meter was removed i received a Bill for just over 12k for the last 8 years Electric we used . I rang that day to see what the hell was going on and again they demanded the 12k for the last 8 years , even sending me a final demand for the outstanding . One last phone call and spoke to a Supervisor who told me the law states they can only charge me 24 months and not the full 8 years . That still came to just under 2k and was given 2 years to pay back the money . Sorted !
