Oil filter

I had my oil and filter changed about 6 weeks ago and noticed the filter was deformed and sucked in. 

 

Ive just checked the new filter and its happened to that new 1 also after about 6 weeks. Why could this be? Cheap filter maybe?

Do you have any photos or records that might identify the make of both filters?  I suspect that the filters are incorrect for your engine.  It sounds to me as ifthe oil was flowing in the wrong direction.  Most cannister filters flow from out to in.  If the filter blocks, a bypass opens so that the engine gets oil, albeit unfiltered; for the cannister to collapse suggests it is under a vacuum.
