Talktalk account not cancelled 6 months later!

[Traveller3]

I sold flat 24th May 2024.

Was mix up. Landline and broadband services were disconnected as switching provider and keeping landline. Instead of full disconnection. 6 months later I still have talktalk account. I can't get provider to take over disconnected line in property i no longer own. Talktalk say they can't shut disconnected line and can't stop billing me for it forever!

@Traveller3, My Account doesn't get closed because you may want to check back through old bills for a year after you leave. 

If you are being charged line rental alone, you must have been on a very old, rather expensive legacy package?

What was it called?

Talktalk hasn't charged line rental separately from the broadband service since 2016:

Landline and broadband services disconnected 3rd june but no provider took over and not full cancellation. Was mistake. Myaccount is not closed, line rental charged each month. I can't get provider to take line no longer own flat. Talktalk not stopping disconnected line, charging me forever. No provider can take over.

Why do you think the account is still active ?

[Traveller3]

I know it was disconnected but no broadband provider took over and wasn't fully disconnected either. I need TalkTalk to SHUT down this disconnected line. My talktalk account is still active, i am still and no broadband provider to take over line!
