A Note On Changing Utility Bills From His Name To Yours - T'Internet

[TwoIfBySea]

Okay so despite dunderhead leaving over 6 months ago it has taken me ages to get everything sorted, all utilities, rent, bank accounts etc.

Biggest problem has been changing the internet provider account. No kidding, I am now cut off from home thank to them putting the control into his hands. Of course he was going to make sure it was as difficult as possible as data protection meant I couldn't discuss the account.

Be warned, if you don't get it sorted amicably then (certainly my provider) will take 30 days to "sort it out." So that is 30 days before I can get back online at home rather than the library (one hour per session allowed), plus however long to get another provider. I am totally cut-off from my support network and he knows it and is enjoying it greatly. In my letter to them (name and shame - Tiscali) I have pointed out that they are the only ones who wouldn't directly transfer names, that they have allowed him to control my internet access. It is just very frustrating.

So much for technology, it is back to sending letters to them!

I won't get back online now until Monday and as I do most of my studying online that is where it will hurt most.

Get another service provider (get a tesco disk and wop it in) and then write to Tiscwali confirming that dunderhead no longer lives at your address and they will have to find him for the money for breaking the contract.

Talk to your tutors if you can - if you have any due work, get extensions - take the pressure off you a bit.

He is an utter arse - most exes are!

Feel really really awful for you - would it help if you had some mobile numbers? Could text/ring if you need support then?

Thats really horrible of him to do that, my X has cut me off now (i'm at work at the min) he knows I've been using it to try and get back in touch with old friends getting myself back out there really.
I've contacted virgin and they should be getting it done very soon hopefully

I already talked with my tutor (my next course starts at end of February) and he has been great about the work, still sending it in on time but he has offered extensions wherever I need.

What Tesco disc, the one that is a penny a minute or something? I have a wireless router, would it work with that or do I need to plug in the old wires (wherever they are!)?

I am being really casual about it, he phoned yesterday but I was out. That is over a week since last he phoned despite knowing one of his sons was ill - twat.

Tiscali will be going after him, have written to them hopefully aiming at their kinder self to hurry it up! LoneLou, that is why my ex did it, to cut me off when I am at home at night and on my tod.
