Put my account on hold

Hannah221 — Mon, 03 Apr 2023 09:03:13 GMT

Hi,

I lost my job back in December and would like to out my account on hold until I find a new job as I am unable to keep up with the payments due to the cost of living crisis.

I don't see why I am still being charged for month i have not used my tariff for? I would like these charges to be whipped off as I have not used these charges

@Hannah221

You get charged whether you use your phone or not, so o2 will not remove those charges, as per your T&C's.

If o2 put your account on hold, you will lose access to make and receive calls and Texts and also they may bar your phone, and your credit file will be affected, and you may incur other charges.

I would speak to a debt support charity if you are in financial difficulties as they will be able to advice. Google Stepchange or the Money Advice Service.

As Others have said you need to speak to the Payment Management Team asap.
