Back in january I got into an 18 month contract with 3 for one of those broadband data card things that you plug into your laptop. I worked away from home all the time and it was handy to have.
Unfortunately in February I had a lot of nosebleeds in a 2 day period and was diagnosed with high BP. I have done 3 weeks work in 6 months.
Today I contacted 3 to see if I could get out of the rest of the contract, to no avail. Asian call centre, useless and although the idiot on the phone kept on saying "I understand" I asked him how he "understood" my predicament, how I'm now on incapacity benefit of £63 a week and how £15 a month is now a significant amount of money in my life. Apparently I can "buy" the rest of the contract out to a sum of approx £250 (this was the sum he gave) which obviously is a no can do. In the end I just ended up getting wound up and putting the phone down.
I don't have a problem with item I've got, 3 haven't given me rubbish service... I was just contacting them to ask for some help with regards my financial predicament which will obviously get worse as time progresses.
I'm at a low ebb at the moment and can't believe the way my life has changed for the worse in such a short space of time - anyway there you have it. Helpful advice would be wonderful.... Phil
