How to Cancel NOS Contract


NOS continues to send me bills after I cancelled my service.

I requested to cancel my service in December in the store in Tomar and they told me I needed to call. I called several times and they hung up on me several times. After confirmation of my cancellation request, I went back to the store. They said I needed to call again. After explaining this the second time on the phone, they assured me it would be ready to be cancelled and said that I would still need to pay through February! Fine I said.

Yet again, the store had no record of it upon my return, so I insisted it be cancelled immediately. Finally, I signed the papers to cancel my plan. My plan was for 33 euros per month, and they continue to send me a bill to pay 37 euros for the end of March.

My original contract was for 30 euros a month. The price was raised to 33, now, after paying the bill AFTER I cancelled I'm being charged 37??

 

THIS IS THEIR PATRONIZING RESPONSE THEY SENT: 

Hello, Brandon.
The service cancellation date is correct. We received your request on January 31, so the service was canceled at the end of the billing cycle. To cancel in January, we would have needed to receive your request by January 20, but that didn’t happen.
If you have any other questions, please let us know. We're always here for you.
Thank you, and have a great weekend! 😊

HOW TO CANCEL YOUR CONTRACT: 

Once your contract period of one or two years has ended, go to the store and demand to cancel your contract. 

They will insist that they cannot do it in the office, and that you have to call. This is a scam. If you call, they will keep running you through this process so they can continue billing you. 

 

Be firm, and insist, and eventually they will grab a piece of paper that allows you to cancel. 

 

Once you’ve cancelled, ask for the “livro de reclamações”. It’s a red book where you can file your complaint and explain how they went through great efforts to prevent you from ending your contract.

Hello ​@Brandon Salo,

The cancellation request must be made in writing and submitted at a NOS store or sent to the designated address. If it is not submitted at least 10 days before the billing cycle renews, the next month will be charged.

If the request was made after this period, the cancellation takes effect at the end of the following billing cycle.

Let us know if you have any questions. We’re here to help.

Best regards,

Yes Jaoa, 

 

The system is setup to prevent customers from ending their contract in a timely manner. The NOS assistant lied to me over the phone, and forced me to make several trips. Had I known the actual process, I would have been able to end it in December, however, your staff didn’t allow me to do this. 

 

Therefore, it’s important for NOS clients to understand the process and to write a complaint in the Livro de reclamações for this horrible policy to be changed. It’s simply theft and many of the NOS employees encourage this. 

 

NOS CLIENTS: Demand to end your contract in the store. There is no need to call. Avoid this scam!
