    Ring their Customer Relations department- they should be able to sort out your problems, it really doesn't surprise me that one of their staff has done that- I was called several names by one of their staff a month ago, which isn't really on.

    Yes, they are in clear breach of their contract with you and should should be able to cancel.

    They are responsible for the acts and omissions of their employees.
