Just requesting (but not using) a PAC doesn't cancel your account
No of course not. I never suggested otherwise.

Didn't seem to happen when I inadvertently clicked on the 'close account' on the website on my current Three account (I was trying to close the other account). The PAC code was displayed and I just sort of ignored it and it went away.
I think the secret here was that you ignored it. If you’d followed through you would have received loads of dire warnings about cancellation costs.
Think about it, if the only way to close an account was by using the supplied PAC you could never simply close an account for a particular number. I used to have two numbers for work purposes. Some years ago I decided to drop one of them because I simply didn’t require it any longer. They gave me a PAC but I never used it. The account closed and no more debits were taken from my account.

I'm confused. If you don't use a PAC or STAC it doesn't cancel your account or number AFAIK. It's only when your new provider uses the code you provide them with that it closes the old account (and switches if it's a PAC).
That’s if you move straight from one provider to another. The use of the PAC ports the number. If you simply close your account with company X then you’ve closed the account. They can’t keep taking your DD simply because you’ve not used the PAC

Constantly amazed how much water can form on steel overnight (not undercover) at this time of year and we live in the tropics near to the equator (Surrey). OCT is the end and Sept you have to be an intelligent interpreter to choose your short painting window especially if your boat is in the frozen wastelands and tundra (north of Islington).
Painting! Don’t talk to me about painting! Hot day today so perfect to get two coats on the decking outside the back door before the weather breaks. Cleared the decking, brushed in some cleaning solution. Got out the pressure washer... I’d get more pressure blowing down the blasted hose! I’m not taking it to bits again, I’ve already repaired it once this year... no-one stocking a decent one local to me so I’ve ended up ordering one on Prime delivery from Amazon. I’m now hoping it arrives early so that I can get at least one coat of stain on the decking as soon as it’s dry. Gonna rain on Wednesday...
Just when I finally got my round tuit.

You do that if you are hoping they will offer you a better deal, but I thing this virus has really hit call centres and their staffing numbers. But if you just want to leave its easy.
Yes, the ‘Client Save’ departments were probably the first to go un-manned.

With a PAC you don't lose your number. With a STAC you do.
I was referring to what happens after a month.
6 minutes ago, Wanderer Vagabond said:I think if you don't activate it it just expires. I inadvertently clicked on the link for one on my 'live' account, didn't activate it and the account is still running.
If you close an account with company X they will give you a PAC. It stands for Porting Authorisation Code. If you move to company Y within a month and give them your PAC then your number will be retained on (ported to) the new account with company Y. If you leave it more than a month then the PAC expires and your number is lost to you.

Mine’s gone up too. It used to be £8/m unlimited everything but the swines put it up to £8.42/m.
Just now, Wanderer Vagabond said:If you are changing to another supplier you can get the transfer thingy (can't remember what it is called)
PAC code. All providers have to supply that pronto now and yes, it expires after a month and you lose your number. That’s the same across the industry.

I don’t get this. I cancelled a Three contract a while back and it was as simple as... log onto My3, go to My Details and select Leave Three. It was all over and done with in about 5 minutes. Why phone them?

I believe women are allowed to use hook on fake beards now.
And sandals? Not when operating the boat of course.

The good old day as they say.
We went to a steam rally some years back at Shakerstone. Our eyes were streaming from the sulphur fumes in the air and we heard one elderly lady comment “They call them the good old days? You coughed all the time, you couldn’t hang yer washing out...”

I used second hand T&G pine boards. (they came out of the Tate!) They were thick and well seasoned. They never moved, warped etc.
You stuck those rivets on the wrong side of the hull...

I think the OP is talking about an oil burning stove
Why do you think that? He stated in the OP that it is multi-fuel.

I am totally staggered by the arrogance of the OP.

He’s ignoring absolutely everyone. Presumably because they don’t agree with his flawed thinking.

Their new boat certainly looks nice and in fact, it looks as if it has just been refitted or fitted out. Everything looks new and it is a big step up from their previous boat.
It even has a cocooned genny.

Absolutely - though I think it will have taken them more than a couple of weeks!
29th August: It’s all gone wrong, Boat is sinking, we’ve had enough. Can’t afford to repair it and can’t afford a new one.
12th September: We’re buying a new boat, isn’t it nice?
I make that 2 weeks

You can happily spend an hour or more listening to all her stuff. You can even follow her progression from about 8 years old, playing Hotel California...

With these guidelines in place I reckon my plan will come together soon enough.
Note that a 5-battery bank becomes a 10-battery bank if you go for Trojan T105s as they’re 6V batteries. It’s easy to overlook that when you’re budgeting for space and cost.

Surprisingly the 90Ah battery on my car, made by Yuasa, is labelled all over in big letters "850 Amps". This seemingly relates to the current that is supposed to register on their drop-tester when it is placed across the terminals. The drop-tester instructions, relating to this particular battery, even state that the battery "should be replaced when its capacity has fallen below 550 Amps"
Yup, that’s my point. Your 850 Amp battery only has a capacity of 90Ah. Imagine how small a 100A battery would be.

When every pub in our part of the world had Watneys red barrel I took to drinking bottle double diamond and at that time enjoyed it very much.
It worked wonders you know...

We each have different pedant engagement thresholds. Amps per Hour will have me spraying coffee over the screen though. ?
One of my favourites is “I have a 100 Amp battery”. My response to myself is always “Gee, it must be pretty small. I wonder what its capacity is...”

So when you hit “Leave Three” you got a message stating you had to phone them? That’s one for the ombudsman.
