Anyone else experienced the appalling service when trying to change your name?

 

I have been trying to change my name with o2 for over 5 weeks now - 4 messages and a written complaint later I got a text to say it had been changed. Only to log in today and find it still hasn't been changed on the website and my bill is wrong despite being told 4 times that the account name has been changed.

 

Pretty poor o2 as mobile phones show on your financial record and you have an obligation under data protection to keep your records up to date. 

 

So fed up of spending time on the chat and phone trying to get this done.

Have you tried this complaints link ?

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Is this due to marriage? Either way you need to send proof to this address

Send a copy of the marriage certificate (or name change)  with a covering letter giving details of all the account numbers you have with O2. (For example mobile, broadband, home phone.) to:
The Correspondence Management Team

PO BOX 694

Winchester

SO23 5AP


 Or via email with the scanned proofs to BusinessTOO@o2.com
Or via fax with the scanned proofs to 0870 6002402.

I have written and sent complaint which has prompted the text to say it's been done yesterday and it's still incorrect.

Both done month apart and text from o2 to advise it's done even though it hasn't. Good job I hadn't sent an original as it would be holding up changing other accounts.
