Hello!
We want to terminate the contract with Rostelecom, and they demand to buy the equipment, which was provided in installments for 5 years. During the year they realized that their services are too expensive and do not justify the entire amount. The contract says that we have no right to return the equipment if it has not passed 1 year-term expires in September. At the same time, the amount of equipment is growing every year and it is impossible to pay it. If we buy equipment that we don’t need without their services, we still don’t take it, it belongs to the company, then what should I pay for?

Submit a claim to Rostelecom to terminate the contract and return the equipment. Write a written statement, ask for a stamp on your copy of the claim with the incoming number. In case of refusal, insist on writing a waiver and write a statement stating that you did not accept the equipment. In case of problems, fix the date and time of the call, the full name of the operator. Then you can go to court with a claim for termination of the contract.

Sincerely, lawyer Anatoly Antonov.
