Hiya guys I'm new here but I'd really appreciate a heads up with a little problem of mine.
The backstory is this: I have recently split with my girlfriend whom I was living with. We'd just just signed into a new 12 month contract with BT for their phoneline and broadband package which was in my ex's name, and inevitably BT are trying to shaft her for a figure around £350 citing a breach of contract. I understand there isn't much that can be done about this and I have agreed with her to pay the full amount - IN INSTALLMENTS - because I'm trying not to be an *** about it. Now she says that after many calls to BTs infamous customer services (she said she's tried and failed to get the amount waived), they have said they're sending her the final bill and are expecting the full amount to be paid pretty much immediately. This smells mighty fishy to me.
Would she be able to put my name on the contract, take her name off completely and leave it in my hands?
And also are BT allowed to demand the pretty significant sum of £350 in one payment? As I've said, I'm willing to pay the full amount but I will not pay it in one go.
Any advise on this would be greatly appreciated.
