So back in October I ordered up some cable for my dorm room through Shaw Cable. In January I realized I wanted some internet as well so I ordered that up as well.

Cable = $20/month
Internet = $10/month

When I first ordered my cable (~5 months ago) I gave them my bank information, but it turns out I accidentally gave them the wrong information. I haven't paid a cent so far and in a month I will be moving out and will no longer require their service. Now, they have tried to call me a few times but I have missed their calls because I sleep in and they call in the morning... they just leave a message saying to call them about my outstanding amount owed. Anyways, if I just wait one more month and not pay, can I not just call and cancel it without paying a dime? I never signed or agreed to anything, I just called and asked for cable/internet, gave them wrong bank information, they came and installed it and I haven't paid yet. I would feel bad but they have no competition because the main internet/cable companies of canada (Shaw, Rogers, Bell) basically divided up Canada so they operate in different parts and have no competition.

Can they legally do anything about it? Bad credit? (I don't even have credit yet).

I will probably end up paying it because I'm a push over, but I'm curious if I could just beat their system if I felt like it?

You ordered and received the service you owe the money.
Whether they choose to chase you for it is up to them.

Legally do I owe them money?

Yeah that sounds like a flawless plan.

Except they know your name and previous (well current) address.

With your name they can probably find your tax records. And your wages are taxed so they can track down your (current/new) employer.

And oh god I've just gone cross-eyed.

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me. I'm just playing the devils advocate.

Your analogy fails.

If I order a pizza and give them a cheque from an account I don't have they give me the pizza and leave and then i eat it but then they call me later and ask me for money .....

Their system may have a problem in that it took a while to notice you gave them an invalid cheque, but you took the service so you owe the money.

Or they can do you for fraud for giving them bogus bank details.

its always fun receiving calls from collection agencies at all hours. even better when a judgement is leveled against you and your wages are garnished until your debt is paid.

have fun!

Seriously, are you stupid? This will have a huge impact on you in later life. Just grow up, take responsibility and pay. I don't think you understand how Fraudulent this behavior is, Shaw is a big company for a reason, i.e., they dont forget about people owing money to them... don't be stupid CL, bad credit, being convicted of fraud, and jailtime is not worth a couple months of tv/internet.

You're basically committing a version of bank fraud. I'd pay them quick as you can, else they might cal in a (idk what it is in English and cba to look it up--huissier in French) or even inintiate legal proceedings against you.

I like pie.
