Why wouldn’t you question anything before letting them get that far?

BT Sport.
No longer showing Pro14 of Scottish Football so tried to cancel my account to be told it still ran until December.
I mentioned that they had broken their agreement with me because the product that they strongly advertised was no longer available.
After a massive rant by me [very unusual] in which I may have mentioned that they need to drop the British from their BT Sport name and threatened them with all sorts of legal conundrums. I was told tough matey but we shall 'escalate' your complaint and someone will get back to you in 2 to 3 days.
20 mins later I received an email saying that I had not had a copy of the latest T&C's so I can cancel straight away. Aye right.
Sadly my £££s are now adding to the Murdoch empire.

I can add some cheer to your day. Murdoch sold Sky a few years ago. It is now owned by Comcast. However good or bad they may be, I know nothing about them, at least it is no longer him

Quite simple really. The mistake only became apparent after the work they did that day.

Perhaps (having re read your initial post about it) that both sides have “assumed” certain things, and perhaps you should have been more specific in your initial instructions and guidance.

Payment holidays on stuff he didn't need to? He hasn't saved anything then has he? Just put it off a bit. Managed to half my credit card, but not saved much. Spent most of the petrol money on internet shopping.
There is a surprising number of people that I have spoken to who do not get this
. It isn't hard to understand is it?

Yep, not saved much here. Ended up spending what I saved on stuff for the house and garden, oh and wine, lots of wine.

I've been over £200 quid a month better off simply from not having to use public transport, and probably another £100 a month better off from not going to the pub. Spent a bit of it on golf stuff to be fair... and a Download ticket.

£1.50 a bottle if you make it yourself
Yes but that needs planning in advance. I have a wine merchant that does same day delivery

His mortgage for example, he saved 4500 in repayments for 3 months say. His monthly new payment is 15 quid more now. Yes, he will pay it back eventually, but I wouldn't mind a cash injection like that at mortgage rates and terms....

Perhaps - however the instruction for the path was to have a straight path from our gate to the porch - black and red tiled ‘diamond’ pattern bordered with traditional rope edging with a new step up to our front door porch and new step up from the pavement to the path. You can’t do a proper tiling if the pairs of opposite sides of the rectangle aren’t parallel.
The mistake was that they didn’t check to make 100% sure the steps forming opposite ends of the path were parallel. And they have accepted that as a mistake rather than a lack of clarity on our part.

You may be able to do something similar without a payment holiday.
With about 10yrs of our mortgage to go our monthly payment of £1500 was crippling us and we needed to reduce our monthly payments. I extended the repayment period for our loan by 5yrs and that knocked it down to £1000/month. We would have ended up paying a fair bit more over the 15yrs, however the £500 a month enabled us to breath, and I knew that we’d be able to clear a lump sum after 10 and it would then be easily manageable for the remaining 5.
As it happens circumstances and events have meant that we were able to clear it all with 10 yrs of the extended period still to run.

Refusing someone's application and telling them not to resubmit it until they have spoken to me, in order to sort out the issues. Applicant does not phone, sends an email saying they don't understand what the problem is (that much was thunderingly apparent from the application) and resubmits another wrong application which has also been refused.
