Orange contact info required

My wife's Orange contract ended in January and, in early February, she
received a final bill showing a credit of £27.60.
The bill stated that the credit shown against the account balance would be
deducted from the next invoice, which obviously can't happen.
She wrote to Orange returning a copy of the bill, asking for a cheque to be
sent to repay the credit but this has not produced any action. When she
attempts to call the Orange Billing Helpline, the automated attendant first
asks for the Orange phone number in question, states that the number is
invalid (which, no longer being connected, it is), and terminates the call.
While my wife can write to Orange again, this is further time and expense
that may be unproductive so does anybody have a contact phone or fax number
that will bring her enquiry to the attention of somebody who will actually
do saomething about getting her refund to her?

Thanks,

Peter

The trick is when prompted for your number don't type anything in,
remain silent. The voice then asks you to try again, and again you must
type in nothing. Then you get past the validation thing and on to the
menu structure.

Success rerport as a result of email:

My wife was contacted yesterday by Orange who advised that the outstanding
dosh has now credited to her bank account.
They don't seem to be able to grasp, though, that you may be talking to
them on a phone that isn't with Orange.

Thanks for the advice.
