To cut a long story short, the manipulating lying cunts at Phones 4u told me that my 18 month contract I signed was able to be cancelled after 12 months, as I said I was only in the country for 12 months.
Low and behold, it turns out that it isn't able to be cancelled after 12 months, and that I am now stuck with this 18 month contract until February, and I am leaving the country in 4 weeks.
Is there any way LEGALLY to get out of this?
Complaint letters to Phones4u Head Office has already fallen on deaf ears, and I hope each and every one of them gets kicked to death very soon.
Any way at all I can get out of this?

Leave the country, don't tell them your address 
I had the same problem with Vodafone, ended up paying £931

Well it's looking that way. I just wanted to do it legally but looking like no joy.
I'll have to pay 35 * 7 months, so about 250quid. I can only knock the contract down to 30quid a month minimum, so that's still 210 quid for fuck all.
It just fucks me off that these stupid cunts can do this and get away with it, and not have anything done to them. CUNTS.

That's the annoying thing about it - I have nothing to prove that she did say this, even though she was adamant.
Cheers for the link Ian, I'll drop them a letter I think.

I had sort of same trouble, when I took my 3 contract out with P4U they said it was 9 months 1/2 price then I could change my tariff after 9 months to a cheaper one.Low and behold after 9 months they said I could npot change till 12 months and that it comes from 3..I moaned and complained and went mental at the lying bastards until they agreed to pay me £75 which would cover what I was loosing till the 12 months up and I could lower tariff..
I had a chq in my hand 3 days later from them for £75 and when 12 months is up I will reduce the tariff...
Wankers.
