“TALKTALK IS A SCAM!!! DO NOT USE IT -- READ THIS”

My girlfriend had a lot of problems with talktalk, starting with the £70 pounds instalation fee( router sent through mail and had to do it ourselfs!!) and then the service given by them was the worst i ever seen in my time! Broadband was at speeds of 100kbps or less and that was when it was working! the monthly fee was around 37 pounds.
Complained on behalf of my girlfriend untold times, as i cannot remember how many times i've called them to try to sort it out, on all of the calls , there was an automated service saying there was problem on my broadband, but costumer services excuse was i had to conect my computer straight to the router otherwise they couldn not fix it, or if they had to send an engeneer around we would have to pay.They then told me the router had problems so i asked for a new one, just to be told i had to buy a new one, because i was already out of warranty, as i had account for over 12 months... thing is i knew that was a lie, so i asked the costumer services person to tell me the date i started the contract , to the response i could not give me that information, when i said " the only reasn you cannot give me thet information is because you know i have less than 12 months on contract and you have to give me the router for free", believe it or not, the costumer service person disconected the call on me!
After many calls i was told contract would finish in february 2012, so i told them there and then, we would not be their costumers again, due to the service being poor, geting charged £37 pounds every month for a service that we didnt get, and couldn't get out of because of a contract!!When february came, we cancelled the service, just to be told it would take 7 days to be disconnected, and so we agreed, just to find out 3 days later, when i get a full bill for the coming month. Called them again, just to be told that they didnt get any request for termination of service!! Very angry , we did it again, and we was told that it would be terminated in 7 days.....well, believe it or not again, 7 dys later , the services was still on, so i called them and was told again that there was no request for termination of contract, this time i got really pi**ed off, as i was told again the same story of 7 days, and that i will be charged for the time my account was wainting to be disconected!! Now that's what i call a scam you cannot get out of!!
I tryed to get the 70 pounds instalattion fee, and i was told because io cancellled the direct debit , they could not pay us back, they were thinking we was going to allow them to take more money for us without giving us service and then would not refund the money.
I was told i would not get chargerd for anything else and i would not get another bill, well, last week we got a letter from talk talk with a bill, charging me for cancelling the direct debit when my contract was already expired.
I really dont want to call them again, as i suffer have 3 stomach ulcers that get worst when i get stressed or agitated, every time i called them i would be sick the whole day, please someone stop this company trading and i would like all the money back from them!!!

I AM LEAVIN THE RATING WITH NO STARS AS THEY DON@T PROVIDE ANY SERVICES!!!
