Paid Members Green Posted June 23, 2011 Paid Members 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?
patiirc Posted June 23, 2011 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
Vito Posted June 23, 2011 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
Paid Members Green Posted June 23, 2011 Author Paid Members 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.
