Cancelling EE Mobile contract due to losing job
I'm useless at things like this please help, I lost my job and need to desperately reduce all my bills, I live alone. I have a mobile contract with EE , I didn't even need a new phone but I stupidly went ahead I pay £33 a month, started contract back in November last year for 24 months, I have now lost my job and desperately just want to give phone back and use my other mobile and buy sim only, , I called EE and the lady said just cancel your direct debit and a team will call me and sort payments out with me, Has anyone else been in this situation ? how much do they reduce your bills to or what happens ? thank you in advance

So I'd be very careful about following that advice as if you cancel your direct debit the first contact you are likely to hear us from their collections dept.
Do you have friend/family who might take on the contract?
Failing that could you sell the phone and buy a cheaper model or even do you have an old phone you can use?
You could then use the money from selling the phone to help cover the remaining contract cost.
you will also.find help on the debt forum here i recommend you post there
