You make it sound so simple @Anonymous but we all know that in reality, nothing is as straight forward as it seems with O2....:smileywink:


Particulary as the op was 'disassociated' from the account by O2 in 2014....That's the same O2 that then sent them a bill for £950+  yesterday...

It should be simple I agree.....the experience shown above proves it is anything but simple slight_frown

I can only imagine myself in the same situation if honest. To get a bill like this when you thought the matter was finished would be more than shocking. To additionally hear that debt collectors were involved? Don't even go there.

If the OPs first post is telling us all they know then none of this is their fault. How do they know how to extricate themselves from a mess like this.? Quite frightening actually...Smiley Mad

A simple phone call from them to the Agency and they will stop and send it back to O2.That's actually one of the easier steps! slight_smile

The words "o2" and "easier" or even "simple" are unlikely to ever be in the same sentence these days.
