Let Vodafone sue

I wonder what chance Vodafone would have of winning if they sued the customer for the money. Maybe not much, as I believe any reasonable company would have cut the connection long before the outstanding amount owing reached a few hundred quid. The consumer protection laws in England impose a test of reasonableness on consumer contracts and I can't imagine any sane judge would hold it is reasonable to allow someone to run up a £27000 bill for mobile phone services.
