Ridiculous charge for contract switch

Question

Hello, I managed to get my landlord to sign up for a phone line for me, provided that I did the £120 pay for a year in advance, which I agreed to. An extra £30 for the installation charge and that was that.
All was well until I ordered broadband which made my Landlord go crazy that it's under it's name (even though that was implied from the begining) so we had to cancel.
Even though this was 2 days after the engineer came, BT said that the engineer visit charge turn from £30 to £130.
So much for a cooldown period
However, I will be taking a phone contract at the same address under my name. Since it's the same box, same phone number and same address, is there any way to keep me from being £100 out of pocket?

Answer 1

HI your contract starts on the day the line goes active you can only cancel with no charge before the line goes active
