The automated email is wrong.
Your contract has remained the same
FIBRE35 £24.98 per mointh (Fixed price plus)
Start date 26.02.2022
You are out of contract since February 02.24
You have NOT been entered into a new contract.
Regards

Hi Arne,
The email I received says I've been put on a new contract at £29.95 per month, I have neither requested nor given permission to be entered into a new contract. I merely asked for the International Calls boost to be removed. My understanding is that this is an optional extra that can be added or removed on a per month basis.
This is an excerpt from the email I received at the end of my last contract:
"Dear Mr **************
As your Fibre 35 contract, which includes broadband and line rental, priced £23.95 per month, ends on 25 February 2024, we'd like to present your options.
As part of our commitment to Fairer Broadband for all our customers, we've highlighted these potential next steps for you below, along with instructions on how you can take out these offers should you wish.
Thr prices listed below do not include charges for any additional services, such as TalkTalk TV, calling boosts or security features.
The first option is to continue with your current service which includes Fixed Price Plus so you'll continue to pay £23.95 per month. You don't have to do anything. You'll then be out of contract, giving you the freedom to upgrade whenever it suits you."
This is the option I selected which maintains my Fixed Price Plus, which means my contract price only increases by CPI.
According to the email I received, I have now been put on a new ontract at £29.95 per month and without Fixed Price Plus.
I trust this is an error and will be corrected ASAP, as a loyal TalkTalk customer of over 20 years I expected better from TalkTalk, shame on you TalkTalk.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards

It just means the price has changed due to the removal of the boost, your contract status has not been changed.

Hi Arne,
Just received an email from talktalk customer services saying that my contract has been changed and that a new month contract applies.
I did not ask for my contract to be changed, only for the International calls boost to be removed.
Could you kindly confirm that I am on the same contract as before only without the International calls boost.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards

@Sheffieldtony, the option to remove boosts from My Account doesn't always show.
This fault has been occurring for around two years, intermittently.
The OP has already stated that they have tried.
@XoseGallego, if this is not picked up by 5pm today, it won't be reached by staff before Friday or even Monday now.
To avoid paying for extra days' use, try Chat or phone 03451 720088 to get this done today.
Any unused period will be refunded pro rata on your next bill.
You won't get further calls covered from the moment the boost is removed.

Have you tried going into your Boost and untick it in the end column

Hi Michelle,
Yes I've tried removing the boost in My Account, but the option is not available. I Have tried Firefox and Edge without success.
Could you kindly remove the International Calls Boost for me as I no longer require it.
Thanks

Good morning,
Are you trying to remove this in your My Account? Have you also tried using a different browser?
Thanks
