Since mobile conns. disappeared, has been being asked by orange to pay £120 a month. He cancelled his direct debit and now he is being treated as a debtor. Despite the fact that he has never signed any contract with orange itself, orange still claims that it has a binding contract with him. My cousin repeated asked for a copy of the contract that mobile connections claim he has signed, but they have so far paid no attention to his request and kept asking him for £120/month. I think this is more government's fault than anybody else's. All customers who have been affected should sue the department that had given mobile connections the licence to operate such a company. How on earth is this possible? Was the owner of mobile connections mad to agree to pay the phone bills of its 90000 customers. Of course it was a scam from the beginning and the government should have asked the owner as to why he wanted to pay people's telephone bills. Nobody asked them, and yet they got a licence to open such a shop. In my opinion all customers should sue the government for their negligence.

I am a disabled pensioner who was lured into taking out 2 mobile phone contracts in January, with the promise of full cashback of £70 per month, the first 2 months were paid. but nothing since March 2007 now I am at a complete loss, as I hardly use any of the minutes of my contract, air time provider T Mobile are by no means showing any means of concern or compassion about this, and are still demanding their £70pm or I will be placed on the 'bad creditors' list,I simply cannot afford this vast sum of money £840.per year, without the cash back benefits, but no one, seems to want to help or know about the situation. I just have no idea what to do, as the cashback monies were for paying my domestic fuel tarrifs and everyday bills and expenditure. thanking you for your time. hello
