Reg; GED number

Anonymous — Tue, 03 Mar 2015 02:13:29 GMT

Im trying to cancel insurance I took out on a P&G phone in 2010. The payment has been DD from my building society account since, monthly. O2 now tell me they don't insure P&G phones paying DD on a monthly bases, they only insure contract phones paying DD on a monthly bases. So after a number of calls, over a number of hours, over a number of days, with a number of people, in a number of different departments, they then ask me for a GED, telling me every DD has this number and that my building society has it.
I ask my building society for this and the they has no clue what this number is but give me a PREP number.
When I was asking for the GED number from the building society I did canceled the DD for the O2 insurance, they told me to be on the safe side I should inform the company (o2) that I'm doing this as i am contracted with them to take the DD.
O2 can't find my policy with ALL the info (PREP number included) I've giving them and are still asking for the GED number.

I have to also say, I did loose the plot (near the end of the second or third 35 to 40min call, after being "put through" to yet an other department ) with a Lee-nn, who threatened me saying she "hanging up on me and that I'd have to go through all this process again".
So now I fell like I'm being punished as since I've been on the phone to O2 several more times, both from my home and in the shop where I bought the phone and the insurance.

Having searched online and through the forum the only reference I can find is from a very old post. A GED number is supposedly Confirmation of payment made...
