More likely the VAT rise from 17.5% to 20%. They reduced the price when VAT was reduced from 17.5% to 15%. Any lease/rental contract you have signed up for will increase from Jan next year, not just 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there is an increase in line with the new vat rate, this is over and above that, its an increase in line with inflation, so its 2 price rises in 1!!!

Well I would suggest, if it's a contract, that they can't do that without the customer's agreement. So either 3 are acting illegally, or you are mistaken.

dawny1970 Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Still 6 months to go on it yet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milquetoast1 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Still 6 months to go on it yet!! Then, unless the contract you signed originally allowed 3 to increase their prices, they have effectively broken it and you can leave. This happened with Orange customers last year: http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/orange-customers-can-leave-contract-thanks-to-september-price-hike-49303181/ Go and read the small print.
