They advertise bundles such as 30GB/1000mins for £10pm (not a reduced or special offer), then invite you to buy a SIM preloaded with credit, enticing you with free credit e.g.£10 for a preloaded £20 SIM

Note from the next pic that they state the £20 you are spending is a top-up:

I ordered this, realizing that the £10 bonus might not be allowed for a half-price bundle but I'm staggered to find that you cannot purchase any bundle even with your own £20! Complained to CS who told me I would have to top up even more to get a bundle, which I refused to do. I asked for the return of my money so I could buy a bundle directly, but was refused. So, the £30 credit I have will only get me 333MB of data due to their extortionate rate of 9p/MB, or even less if I spend 19p on a text or £4 on a 22 minute call to another Vectone no.

Can someone please tell me where in the T&Cs it states this bizarre restriction?

    I have to be honest, that is a jumbled mess which is very hard to read. Can I suggest you contact an advice service to get some assistance in putting your complaint clearly in writing.
