sold me a faulty phone

i bought a phone with homechoice around September, only used it for 3 weeks and the phone died. not switching on. i reported this and was told they will collect it and send it in for repairs. i had to wait for over 6 weeks for the phone to be collected. and since then, have not received any feedback or an update on the progress of the repairs. its been 3 months now and i still dont have the phone. yet i'm expected to pay them for the phone that i hardly used. my advise, DO NOT BUY ANY ELECTRONS FROM HOMECHOICE......
