Useless Dongle

I signed up for a 3 dongle 4 months ago, it has been useless - no signal, and contract for £15 a month. Call centre really unhelpful, I have cancelled my direct debit now and am being pursued by debt collection agencies, do I have any consumer rights? Should I go through the small claims court to sue them or am I wasting my time and should just pay up. It really hurts though, as I am a student and feel this is not on. Any ideas or advise please.

I think with 3 you got a few days after you took out the contract to try it out and cancel your contract if it was no good, to wait 4 months removes any rights I would have thought.0 -
Are you saying the dongle is faulty, or the reception in one location is bad? Not the same thing. Does it work in other areas? If so then after 4 months you've not got much of a case.No free lunch, and no free laptop0
