Hello, Can anyone help me?

I'm looking for someone in UK to take over an Internet broadban
contract (AOL Silver) and a BT landline (BT Together option 1
contract.
These contracts were set last August (from August 1st 2005) for a
least 1 year.
I need to move back to France to start my new job and look for someon
who will be interested to take over these contracts until at least th
end of July.

Advantages:
- Free modem,
- You will have to commit for only 5 months and not 12 months and afte
this period you can keep the contracts or cancel whenever you want,
- I offer 1 month free Internet,
- I will help you to set everything,
- package upgradable to another option.


Please, contact me as soon as possible!

The only way for them to do that is to move into the house that you are
vacating and not change the details on the phone line.

Cannot be done! Pay up and shut up.

Hello,

In reality, it's more flexible: I contacted BT and AOL and they told m
that I have the possibility to move my contracts to another posta
address in UK (not abroad). I just need to fill in their "moving home
forms and they will set the contracts at the new address. Afterwards,
person at this address will only have to call AOL and BT to update th
bank and identity details. Obviously, before that, I will have informe
BT and AOL that this person is going to take over my contracts.

Best regards,

Only if you lie to them. AFAIK neither AOL will allow the contracts to be
transferred to someone else.

From AOL's Terms of use

'Assignment

We may assign this contract at any time without notice to you. You may
not assign this contract to any one else.'

Moving house is not the same as re-assigning contracts

For a consumer contract, might that not fall foul of the unfair
contact terms rules? If one party is allowed to assign the contract,
then is it not equitable that the other should be able to as well?

but they couldn't transfer the broadband contracts. Everybody loses
their connection!

Agreed - and it nearly happened when Affinity Internet Holdings (or
whatever they were called) went down the plug-hole and Plus.Net
made sure that users did not lose their connections - as they could
become customers of Plus.Net, at a time when a "cease" and new
"activation" would have been needed... about 3 years ago now.

I haven't located this comment in the online AOL's terms of use, bu
this one must exist, however the interpretation made might b
incorrect.
From my point of view, this comment only indicates that a contract ca
be defined or managed only by its owner. Would you be agreed tha
someone else performs some operations on your behalf? That protect
every consumer.

In my case, an AOL agent gave me this advice "you have the possibilit
to tell us someone to take over your contract even if this one i
located at another postal address!". Obsiously, before transferring m
contract to someone else, I will ask AOL one more time the permission.

I'm not looking for someone to fool and really I take all the risks
I'm not pleased to receive answers where the purposes are to contes
what I wrote.
The second answer I received was "Cannot be done! Pay up and shut up."
This person forgot to add "you are a liar, f**k off!".

I was expecting some advice telling me the ways to follow.

Finally, I solved half of my problem. I've again contacted BT and the
have accepted without any problem to stop my contract. Well, I'm likel
going to pay some fees but it doesn't matter.
To clarify my request and get some help I will post another thread.

If you are in a negative mood, please, don't help me.

Thank you

You can find it at para 10 (ix) at
http://www.aol.co.uk/about/legal/cos.adp.

I read it to mean that the contract is not transferrable by you.

If you only wanted answers that agreed with what you wanted to hear then
you shouldn't have posted to Usenet.
AOL's Conditions of Service are available for anyone to see and are at
odds with what the rep was telling you. I know which would hold up if
things got messy. Things put together by lawyers tend to hold up better
than a half trained rep's dubious interpretation of the same
