    The abuse here is you calling me a "liar".
    Which word would you prefer as you have had to "stand corrected" previously? Your intransigence when dealing with others in this thread suggests that you carefully choose the words you write. You never apologise when caught out and this makes me (and possibly others) believe that all of your words are chosen for maximum effect rather than whether they are true or not.

    A case in point is your assertion that you have knowledge of a cashback card that offers a better deal for me than my Utility Warehouse pre payment card. I have shown on this thread how I pay less for my utilities than I would with any other company. Yet you refuse to provide any verifiable evidence to show that I can do better elsewhere in the form of a link to your wonderful card.

    Why would I deliberately post misleading info?
    Because it suits your purposes. You have been caught out previously and "stood corrected" but did not apologise.

    Why not just send the sim card back as it is of no use to you? As with all companies, there is small print. Have you read it? Was the £10 a connection fee? Does it say that the company still owns the sim card? Could that be why they want it back?

    I have sent it back but why would they want it back.. Its not like they are going to recycle it. Its just a way to catch you out to charge you.

    And your evidence for this accusation is? Don't tell me, you were asked to fork out £200 to start a business where you could earn some money if you worked at it, and, you have started successful businesses on far less and did not have to put in any effort?

    Nope I didn't join and pay £200... I'm not that stupid

    Not if you follow the T&C's. Just like any company, they have rules and regulations that are their T&C's. You sign up to them when you take advantage of the services a company provides. Follow "the letter of the law" and you come away clean. Ignore the contractual details at your peril. It's bit like an exam, read the question, read the question, read the question. When you understand what is required, it is comparatively easy to come up with the right answer if you have done your revision. I hope all turns out well for you in the end.

    You think it is stupid to start your own business for £200? What would you consider to be a reasonable sum to invest in order to secure your financial future?
