Does anyone else have CONSTANT billing problems?? I have been with 02 for many years.. always paid by DD until around 2 years ago.. every single month they either took too much from my account or tried to take it early before my salary went in, leaving me with Bank Charges!! EVERY SINGLE MONTH!! Since then i pay at the end of every month using the Banking App on my phone.. I incur a £2.50 DD opt out fee! Despite it being 02's fault in the first place! This month not only have they overcharged me but they have charged me TWO Direct Debit opt out fees!!!! I cant tell you how angry i am, having just wasted over an hour on 'Chat' for them to tell me 'as a gesture of Goodwill they'll refund one of the charges' GOODWILL!!!!??? FUMING!

I suggest you call customer service on 202 rather than using chat.
There is no DD opt out fees that I am aware of and I certainly am not charged so.
You can also ask for a specific date for your DD to be taken to suit your salary cycle.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

Gosh what an awful situation.
As suggested call customer services not chat
Early morning 08.00am is best.
Get your details on a paper ... dates money taken etc. so that you have them to quote to the agent.
I would request the sum you have incurred ie extra charges. £xxx. stick there.
Get your DD DATE settled correctly.
Good luck and welcome to the o2 community forum.
Let us know how you get on.
Best wishes TallTrees

A £2.50 charge is usually for a late payment rather than an opt out fee.

However you should be able to view your bills using the My o2 website and confirm if this is the case or if you are being charged for anything else outside of your allowance.
Please note, this is not customer services and we cannot access your account. Do not publish personal details (email, phone number, bank account).
