# Dear BT
Today I received a letter from you telling me that 0870 and 0345 numbers are now free.

In place of that you have put my line rental up by a pound.

As I rarely call these numbers, and even if I have to, I look up the geographical equivalent first on saynoto0870.org, please state why your letter took on such a cheerful tone, when clearly you are fucking me like a bitch

GS

# Oh, is that what the rest of that letter said?
I thought it was a bit peculiar them writing seeing as I'd opted out of anything other than email communications. It makes sense now, the dirty fuckers.
O2 cut me off today because I don't use my mobile enough, I suppose they thought they could pocket the £6 credit I had on the SIM. I'm going to go postal one of these days...

# but you can counteract the extra pound by getting online billing
I ALREADY HAVE!

# That's the thing I signed up for
they sold it to me as "save the planet, less paper waste blah", which was nice as well as the quid off.

So when they sent me some crap about free calls to numbers I never ring I wondered what had happened to saving the planet.

# I found out the other day
that if I don't pay by direct debit I get charged a few quid extra.

A 'payment processing fee'.

Basically, paying them so that I can pay them.

# And what is wrong with that?
If you pay by CC / Debit card they have to pay a transaction fee plus around 2% handling fee to the bank.

If you pay by cash or cheque they have to pay people to check it and pay securicor to come and get it from their offices.

Direct debit doesn't cost them anything, so it doesn't cost you anything.

# wellllllllllllll
I'm still not happy. It was more than 2%, they were making money out of me from it goddamnit.

And I like a good moan, and you've just ruined this one.
