Re: How to cancel Setanta?

ok i have cancelled it (i hope), phoned 0191 no but was told to phone 0871 no which is higher prem. got through to one lady (she was nice to be truthfull) and then she transfered me to accounts manager. she said it might take 10 - 15 min which i was not happy about but to be fair i was connected in less then 2 min. spoke to manager and got my subscription cancelled. now just gonna have to see if it goes of my card next month or not. fingers crossed

That isn't to be recommended these days as it can result in a poor credit rating.

Re: How to cancel Setanta?

The address Setantal emailed me when I told them I was going to cancel my direct debit with them.

Here at Setanta we are always keen to hear feedback from our customers
on the service we offer, therefore we prefer to speak to our customers
directly. Can I therefore ask you to call 08712 00 33 22 and press
option 2, this will allow you to speak to one of our dedicated Account
Management Agents.

Alternatively, you can write to Setanta Sports on Freeview,PO Box
800,Kirkcaldy, Fife,KY2 6WD, giving 30 days notice of your intent to
cancel.


Hope this helps
John.

Re: How to cancel Setanta?

Have just found I have been charged £15 per month rather than the £12.99 for months!

No responses from any email addresses or forms filled in.

Time to cancel I guess.

I'm going to ask them to take my additional months subscription from the amount they've overcharged - doubt I'll get much luck!

Re: How to cancel Setanta?

Cancel the direct debit then. If they've overcharged you, and there's enough in the overcharge to pay for the cancellation month, then you're perfectly within your rights...
