stevegrant Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 As per the title. If you've still got a subscription, I'd cancel it fairly sharpish. Contacting anyone in customer services will be even more of a nightmare than normal!
saint_stevo Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 i cancelled the direct debit, and they have been chasing me for a months money for a week or so. Reckon i can just ignore em now?
Thedelldays Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 a, i right in saying that ESPN have got some games... do we get them (i have virgin)..?
Scummer Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 ESPN have got all the games Setanta had (Prem games). They'll need to start a new channel to show them on. You'll probably have to pay extra, although I guess Virgin could have a similar deal to the one they did for Setanta.
thesaint sfc Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 i cancelled the direct debit, and they have been chasing me for a months money for a week or so. Reckon i can just ignore em now? This happened with me and Freedom To Surf. The administrators continued to chase me and then billed me a load of money for having to contact the baylifts and have them write letters to me. That company were complete c*nts. So I would keep a close eye on it!

He went a bit mental
Saint Keith Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 jsut went online with my bank and cancelled my DD shame tho. i ahd the sports package, so i got racing UK and NASN included. wonder what happens to that ???
Hatch Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 jsut went online with my bank and cancelled my DD Likewise, althought the beeb report says they will stop collecting subscriptions.
Saint Keith Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 Likewise, althought the beeb report says they will stop collecting subscriptions. mine was due tomorrow. i dont trust them to act that fast
saint_stevo Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 if you do it through cancelling your DD they try charging you a months subscription, as apparently you have to give 30days notice
thesaint sfc Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 Also if you cancel DD it will affect your credit score badly. This is utter bull****. HTH.
stevegrant Posted 23 June, 2009 Author Posted 23 June, 2009 if you do it through cancelling your DD they try charging you a months subscription, as apparently you have to give 30days notice Considering they're going off-air, they would be charging you for a service that won't be provided. Sounds illegal to me.

Dicko Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 10 reasons they're dead - http://www.bitterwallet.com/deathwatch-setanta-sports-rip/13961 I don't agree with all of those Their coverage of the German & French leagues were top notch
Saint Keith Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 if you do it through cancelling your DD they try charging you a months subscription, as apparently you have to give 30days notice will be null and void, as they have entered creditor proceedings. plus the basic fact they will not be providing the service anyway makes it kind of irrelevant
Saint Keith Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 Also if you cancel DD it will affect your credit score badly. not true. setanta is not a consumer credit agreement, and does not show on equifax or experian files
Dicko Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 I feel sorry for my old mate Murray Dron I got to know him when he presented 'Report Sport' in Jersey a few years back Top bloke
chrisobee Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 Yes it has ceased trading as per the message on their news channel: SETANTA HAS CEASED TRADING IN GREAT BRITAIN Though at least RUK is still on air
Michelle Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 What will happen to the US golf? Well seeing as it's in the US, I'd be pretty damn sure they'll still be playing.
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 23 June, 2009 Posted 23 June, 2009 jsut went online with my bank and cancelled my DD shame tho. i ahd the sports package, so i got racing UK and NASN included. wonder what happens to that ???Was told by a nice lady manager in the Abbey, it didnt matter if i cancelled my DD.Because to make it effective the company that takes the money has to cancel it as well, or they can still take the money and that can be any amount up to what you owe them. DD's are the biggest con going, and favour the company and not the customer!

Dicko Posted 26 June, 2009 Posted 26 June, 2009 Do I still need to cancel my subscription? I notice that I still get access to Setanta Ireland and the racing channels
chrisobee Posted 26 June, 2009 Posted 26 June, 2009 Well I cancelled mine over a month ago but still get Racing UK, ATR is under the Sky umbrella.
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 26 June, 2009 Posted 26 June, 2009 (edited) That is total utter toilet.I cancelled a DD a good 5 days before it was due, but they still took the money. And when i complained to the Abbey.And thats what the mangeress told me! Best tell her she's talking toilet then! Edited 26 June, 2009 by SOTONS EAST SIDE
