o2 chasing for money I don't owe!

Hi There

So long story short: I left o2 back in November 2023 due to poor quality service at both my work and home, I spoke to the complaints team to achieve this fee free SIM only contract termination...

In December 8th, I got an email stating I owed them £20, which I thought was fair enough for the month of service I had used.

Then on December 20th, I get another email stating that I owe them £307, which I thought was weird, so I rang them up and they couldn't locate my o2 account via either my account number, name or postcode.... They eventually did after 20 minutes of faffing, they said the outstanding £307 shouldn't be there as they could see I left fee free. They stated they'd clear it within 72 hours, So because the bill went unpaid (as I frankly had no way of paying it, even if I wanted to) they've now sent it to a debt collection agency today, so now i'll have a mark on my credit file through no fault of my own, and o2 will not sort it out

Who do I need to speak to, because I don't owe this money
