I'm sorry to hear that

contact them again, they should be able to flash the correct update.
Littlewoods - I take it you are in the UK like me and if so and you know how to manually flash your device then I have Stock UK generic 4.4.4 and 5.0.2 firmware for the same device model number
I'm not saying you have flashed it - I'm offering you the 4.4.4 stock firmware to manually flash your phone or you can manually flash the LP firmware
Bootloader unlocking it not needed and if you flash the stock UK firmware as it should have then in my opinion you will be fine - I can provide full idiot proof instructions - Apologies for the wording but that's just a UK way of saying easy to follow and carry out
