Paid Members Green Posted June 23, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 I have a direct debit set up for my Orange Blackberry phone. I wont be able to afford paying it over the summer so I'd like to cancel it briefly. Is there an easy way to do this? I could just cancel it from my Natwest account but I'm worried they might get pissed off or something. Â Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiirc Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Talk to your provider.. Cancelling the D/D without telling them will effectively make your phone a glorified brick, fuck up any credit score and get some twatty debt collectors on your arse. Not to mention any late fees/interest added.  If you talk to Orange they maybe able to lower your tariff or work out a revised payment sched, just dont expect to be able to use your phone on contract until its up to date payment wise.  If you need your phone, shove a PAYG sim in the interim unless bricked by Orange  Soz if a bit preachy, but that is pretty much the options afaik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vito Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 How far into the contract are you? A friend of mine recently got into a lot of trouble because he brought a contract phone on an eighteen month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Green Posted June 23, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 Thanks for the advice. I didn't think cancelling the direct debit was the smartest plan. I'll get in touch with Orange when I get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
