O2 or Aerial - who am I with? and why has my phone stopped working when I tried to ask O2 online?

Anonymous

My 02 contract was up for renewal and someone claiming to be from 02 phoned and offered me a new deal for 24 months. My contract now seems to be with Aerial but my bank Direct Debit is still with 02. Are they a bonafide company? Today they (Aerial) sent me a letter saying I'm due a monthly refund for not getting a new phone, and want my bank details including account no and sort code. Is this all OK? I tried getting help with an O2 online advisor but they couldn't help me and now my mobile phone has stopped working. Screen looks fine but I cannot send or receive calls or texts since asking for help!!!

Someone from O2 has telephoned me this morning and is going to try to sort this mess out with Aerial. Many thanks to Toby for his help in this matter. Happy New Year folks.

Thanks everyone, I will report back and let you know how I get on. Yes Adam, I'm also hoping it has not yet affected my credit report as I've never missed a payment for anything in my life until this fiasco.

Good luck. Sounds promising that o2 are now on the case.

I hope the result is a positive one for you.

If your credit report has been affected and the case is subsequently resolved in your favour you can:

A. Ask o2 to correct your credit report or
B. If o2 refuse for any reason you are entitled to put a "notice of correction" on your credit file.

If you need to do B in the future let us know and we can explain what you need to do.

However I feel if this goes in your favour and if you credit report has been hit that o2 would do the right thing.

You are very welcome claudiaq

In reality my feeling is it won't come to that. Now that o2 have picked up your case I am inclined to think your "business" contract will be cancelled and o2 will allow you to take on a new "consumer" contract and will adjust your balance accordingly. You may also receive some compensation for your troubles.

That is my gut feel based on the info I have seen. But it is just that, my pinion.

Just a wee update to say that everything has been sorted out. Whew!!!

 

Toby I am so very grateful to you for forwarding my problems to O2, and a lovely lady at O2 who contacted me, then contacted Aerial who then contacted me and it's now all been resolved. I no longer have a problem, it's all been sorted out between the 2 companies themselves.

 

Thanks to everyone here who has given me support and sent me messages. This forum is a really helpful place for customers of O2 to visit.

 

I wish you all a very Happy New Year.
