The BBC program Watchdog had a thing on phone slamming on Feb 4th and they have some info on their website which tells you who to contact if you have been slammed and oher stuff.
The link is http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/tv_and...20080204.shtml |

Actually, if BT really did put that on your letter, I think that they are in breach of the rules. I have read some OFCOM rulings on 'unfair winback' or similar.

Tiscali are not the best for phone. I was with them for phone a few years back before they had Tiscali line rental and first 6 months or so all seemed fine but then I got two billing mistakes from them. I was also on Tiscali Anytime dial up at the time. Im glad I got rid of Tiscali nearly two years ago and I got everything with BT now. It tane me nearly a week for my calls to go back via BT when I asked Tiscali to end there phone service. When I was moving to BT broadband I asked Tiscali to closed my anytime dial up account they told me it easier for me to downgrade to pay and go. In end up after trying to tell them to close my account I downgraded to pay and go. Tiscali left my pay and go open for just over a year then closed my account altogether . As if they could not have done this in the first place.

I am surprised BT would do nothing.
When I signed up for tiscali broadband a couple of years ago I explicitly stated that I did not want them to take the phone on. They did not listen and on two separate occasions they tried to take it. In the first instance I managed to get hold of tiscali and stopped it. On the second I did not even get a letter from tiscali, just the one from BT saying sorry to lose you as a customer. I had long since given up trying to get any sense out of tiscali so I phoned BT who answered straight away (funnily enough) and halted the process immediately. They also said they would be reporting the incident. The switch never happened and unsurprisingly I heard nothing from tiscali who I subsequently binned. The best way to deal with these companies is to vote with your feet. I switched my broadband to adsl24 and have had an excellent and responsive service ever since. |

This article in The Daily Mail is about slamming. Right at the end it says about BT stopping the move if you ask them. |

Would those people who gave out their bank details over the phone please contact me because I need the funds.
So much for the people who claim they knew nothing about it or that they were just requesting information.
