OK then...I'm not a lawyer, but I do hate Virgin Media

As earlier replies suggest, It could be a previously signed 12 month contract before the previous tennant jumped ship.

So pardon my ignorance but I think this doesn't make you responsible. Surely you could testify that the previous tennant assured you it was paid for in advance for the next 12 months as a sweetener in the deal? The fact that you have not received any bills backs this up.

Also, more importantly, since the Virgin takeover of NTL, their detection efforts are spread so thin (fact) that you would be desperately unlucky if they run a check signal through your line anytime this or next year. I know because many friends and I have been scamming free tv out of them for about 3 years now - trouble free.

They would rather focus their efforts on ridiculous billing 'mistakes' blagging existing customers (like me) out of as much cash as they possibly can. They don't know about the TV but it doesn't stop them twatting me about for my phone and internet bills with such regularity it is almost as if I am paying for my tv anyway.

For fuck's sake don't call them...about anything. They are cretinous cumsponges who are trained to say whatever it takes to get you off the phone, and to get a fucked up, fabricated bill to your address. If they're not sending anything, count yourself as lucky and leave it that way.

Rachelswipe is a lovely lady and brilliant solicitor, who has advised me before on legal issues and has been fucked about by Virgin Media too, so I'm sure a polite question (and not taking her genorosity for granted) wouldn't go amiss.

Good luck, and thank you for (inadvertantly and accidentally) sticking one up the rusty chuffs of those cuntsticky wankmerchants.

Score 1 for team B3ta!
