Now they won't let me log into their site to actually cancel my account this is unbelievable! They can't do this for long as I'll be well gone in a few weeks, jokers.

Sadly I think that they're doomed. Thanks for saving me some money and prompting me to move! Sadly I think that they’re doomed.

After Pipex failed to collect my payment in August I had to make a separate payment over the phone for that month. Now 4 months later they have taken August's charges again from my credit card. Their call centre say I have to send them my credit card statement to prove I have already paid for that month. They have taken my money without authorisation or consultation. Needless to say I've told them it's not me that has to prove anything and sent a Mrs V Angry email. I've received a reply today to say that in fact I owe them more than they thought and have now taken an amount for VAT and some oustanding postal charge from 2005!! Unbelievable. Am now writing to Mike Reid, CEO. I am a home user of Pipex broadband but am compelled to add my tale of woe.

I hope this helps.
