Want to leave T mobile
Comments

Not being funny but you were happy to take a new phone of T-Mobile a couple of months ago, now the newness has worn of you want out. How would you feel if you gave someone a expensive phone and said pay me for the next 18 months and after two they said they did not want to any more. T-Mobile have been fair in letting you drop your price plan down to £15.00 pm. From reading your posts it seems like you have a issue with managing money at the moment. instead of trying to find a way out of the contract why not see if you can earn a little bit of money some ware.

Try doing that with a car you have bought on HP and see how far you get !!!
Seriously, this is the problem with long contracts in an economic recession. Hence my advice to anyone who relies on employment to pay the bills is to go sim-free on a 30-day contract.
And a contract is just that - a legally binding agreement. You would have been moaning if T-Mobile had increased your contract mid-way through.
And as for returning the phone. Would you have been happy if T-Mobile had sent you a 2 month old phone instead of a new one for the same price when you took out the contract?
This is NOT having a go and I have every sympathy with anyone who has lost their job. You need to keep on paying to avoid a bad credit rating which will haunt you for years when, hopefuilly, you get a job again and the economic gloom recedes. In the scale of things, the few £00 that is owing over the period of the contract just isn't worth it and an overdraft doesn't hit your credit score as much as not paying bills.
Good luck with the job hunting.0
