The story was about a Sheffield dinner lady who commenced court action against Unicom to claim a refund of termination fees and to claim compensation for the harassment she had to endure due to Unicom's debt collection procedures. Unicom settled out of court and paid the full amount that was claimed. The programme can he heard by clicking on this link and the Unicom item starts at around 15 minutes http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06wc6qp<br />More details about this story can be seen by clicking on this link http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2016/01/sheffield-dinner-lady-wins-compensation-from-troubled-uk-isp-unicom.html<br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745174758434838455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13989113.post-25524344788560510162016-01-08T18:42:15.872+00:002016-01-08T18:42:15.872+00:00Sorry Tse Tsui Ha. it is a web site - not an emai...Sorry Tse Tsui Ha. it is a web site - not an email address.

Ofcom have also ruled that Unicom must release customers free of termination fees and compensate affected customers if they were misled at the point of sale. Details can be seen here <br />http://media.ofcom.org.uk/news/2015/unicom-misleading-customers/<br />http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/07/31/ofcom_fines_unicom_for_misleading_customers/?mt=1438337960507<br /><br />Ofcom will monitor Unicom to ensure that the appropriate remedial steps are taken. It will be interesting to see how this pans out!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745174758434838455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13989113.post-7659985563259291702014-12-12T12:37:36.411+00:002014-12-12T12:37:36.411+00:00Tx as always for keeping me updated, Mary.
