Any help with payments while unemployed

Hi

I recently been informed that I may not have a job anymore. This is a major blow for me and will affect me enormously. I have been a loyal customer for over 5-10 years with certain companies such as SKY TV, Nuffield Health Gym and T-Mobile. I wanted to know if I would be able to retain their services while not in a job as I would not want my life further affected leading to any health issues.

I need advice on how to approach companies - any help will be greatly appreciated. Also if my information is not clear please ask.

    replace SKY with a freeview box, you'll probably get a discount gym pass fro your council while unemployed to use their services. Best cut down on the phone calls.

    I'd approach companies with a metal helmet on.

    This has got to be a wind-up.

    Youre worried that not having Sky, Gym membership or a mobile phone might lead to health issues in the future.

    Give over...............Cancel them all and go for a brisk walk every day for an hour.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    They won't mind your becoming a member of the leisured classes. You don't have to approach them about it, just keep paying the bills.
