Just an update. I had an email from Tiscali today which reads the following...
Dear
Thank you for contacting Tiscali Customer Support.
I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
I have raised a Remedy Request Reference No. ********** to our Finance Team regarding when you migrated to a new ISP and your account was not cancelled.
I have requested our Finance Team cancel your account and write off the outstanding balance.
Once again, my apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Kind regards,
(name removed)

A result. I am just glad that I did cancel my dd, as I don't suppose it would have been easy to get the money back.
