Whoever's at your old address could send them round to your new address, I'm sure they'll have a way of finding you! Probably better to pay it

Well, I admit doing the same thing back in my student ages with Orange UK! When I move abroad after finishing my degree I stopped the direct debit order with my bank, took the phone with me abroad and used it for like hours and hours of talking long distance and overseas and it took them 4 whole months to cancel my subscription!
Needless to say they never found me! However had I been obliged to go and live again in the UK, I am sure I am on their black list, thereby rendering any future attempts to have a contract with any british mobile provided hopeless!
It depends on you actually!
If you cannot move abroad I'd say go and pay your bills mate!
You will have to pay more later as those debts stay there forever and haunt you!
Be a good person...

Hi,
Its just not a good idea as not only will you get a bad credit score but when they eventually pass it on to a debt collection agency the charges will escalate dramatically. Also unless you do not intend to get any form of credit or mange to remain invisible they will find you either via the electoral role or your council tax. In reality your short term gain will cause you long term pain and that's leaving aside the moral issue that you took and used a service that you are entitled to pay for.

Very strange he has removed his intention to not pay his bill maybe he has thought better of it, I hope so.
