Withdrawal of Fraudulent Contract

2 months ago

Hello everyone,

I urgently need help with canceling my contract.

A few days ago, two Telekom salespeople came to my house and claimed that my current DSL contract with Vodafone would no longer work and that I had to switch to Telekom. They filled out a contract for me and had me sign it. Unfortunately, my German language skills are limited, and they were very pushy and convincing, so I signed without fully understanding what I was agreeing to.

Shortly after, I received a call from Telekom where the contract details were supposedly discussed. Again, I was pressured to agree, and I was told it was only for a technician visit – not for a full contract change. However, today I received a message from Telekom saying they are happy that I decided to switch providers!

I already sent an email to widerruf@telekom.de a few days ago, but I have not received any reply yet. I am worried that my cancellation request is not being processed, even though I am still within the 14-day period.

My request:

  • I would like an immediate confirmation of the cancellation and to ensure that the contract does not go into effect.
  • My existing DSL contract should remain untouched.
  • I request that someone from customer service contact me immediately.

Has anyone had a similar experience or can offer advice on how to get Telekom to process my cancellation quickly?

Thank you for your help!

      Hello Malte,

      I have not received any email regarding cancellation of my contract yet. Instead I received yesterday, a letter from telekom thanking for the switch and letting me know that they will cancel my current provider. Also yesterday, I received two emails from telekom with subjects: 1)
      Vorvertragliche Pflichtinformationen für Sie and 2)Wechsel zur Telekom bestätigen.

      Could you please check again and cancel my contract immediately? I would like to receive the cancellation confirmation as soon as possible.
      I also received the customer number and order number in the letter so let me know if you would require that.

      Thank you.
