Large credit deleted from SIM !!! Help please

Hi

 

I have three contracts with Vodafone who I have been with for 16 years, and had a PAYG sim as an emergency back up, that Vodafone gave me.  I had £30 per month transferred from my account to my PAYG SIM each month to build up a credit.  I realised it had gone too high and had around £390 on the PAYG sim so I stopped the transfer.  I was happy to have the credit there though for a time when I could not afford a contract anymore.

 

That time is sort of here - so I went to use the PAYG the other day to check what the credit amount was, and the sim was not working.  When I contacted vodafone they told me I had not used the sim and so the number had been deleted.  This I was not happy with, but could live with that, however....... they have also DELETED ALL MY CREDIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

All £380 gone and they say they have no way of giving it back to me.  They tell me it is in the T&C's that I did not sign up to!!

 

I really can not afford to lose this money and find it totally immoral.  Vodafone have been so unhelpful that I am totally shocked by there total lack of customer care.  Please - any help or advice would be gratefully received.  I was thinking of taking legal action, and contacting consumer watchdogs, trading standards etc.

I'm afraid it is in the PAYT Airtime Conditions that a number can be disconnected if not used for a 270 day period and suspended after 180. . :smileysad:

 

IT'S IN SECTION 6, PART 3.

 

Like with any T & C's its the sole responsibility of the customer to read through these, so I'm not sure if this credit could be returned.
