    I’ve been renting at my current address for 4 years and my landlord served me with a termination of tenancy on the grounds that he doesn’t want to enter a further part 4. Obviously I was expecting to be here a lot longer and I got Vodafone Siro broadband installed. I contacted Vodafone and they said I would have to pay a termination fee of 500 at the time I leave here if I don’t have another address or I can’t transfer it to someone else. Does anyone know of a way around this?

    Have to agree with this after a bad situation with vodafone who alleged via a solicitor I owed them nearly E1000 when they had in fact cut me off
    for no reason a long time before.

    I did reply but when a second envelope with the same name on it arrived?I was about to move house so I ignored the letter and left no forwarding addresss . They are not amenable to any rational thinking .. I was not with them and had not been for two years

    If you were to move to an address where they were unable to provide you with their services, would that get you out of the contact, by any chance?

    According to the person I spoke to from Vodafone I would still have to pay the fee.

    Remove your phone number from your online account, cancel your direct debit, cancel the broadband, and don't tell Vodafone where you are moving to. Never use Vodafone again.

    I would love to do that but I’ve a bill pay phone with them so they would get me that way.

    You need to find a new mobile provider as well then. Vodafone are trying their luck. Don't let them get away with it...

    Except you'll have to rule out using eir, Three or Voda as they share information about anyone who is in arrears for over 90 days

    The OP signed up for a contract with vf of course they are going to try and get their money, that's not trying their luck.
    That said I do have sympathy for OP its crap situation to be in but vodafone aren't at fault here.

    Can you check that amount anywhere? is it in the contract?
