Please help me to remove default of£16 from my O2 account

[sravan]

Hi team,

Good afternoon! Hope you're doing good.

I subscribed to a O2 Mobile broadband plan in June 2018 and eventually closed my account in Dec 2019. 

While closing my account, I've been informed by the O2 customer service team(over phone) that the Device charge would be automatically deducted from my account and there is nothing I need to do.

I didn't even get any emails or posts since then, so I was under impression that the account is closed without any issues.

This morning, I was trying to submit a mortgage application to purchase a new house and surprisingly it got rejected on the basis of a bad credit report. 

Upon checking my detailed credit report, I was baffled to see that there is a default on my name against O2 payment for £16 which is for the broadband device. I spoke with one of your colleagues Michelle and managed to clear the debt and the reference number is "[Personal details removed]
"

I sincerely request you to help me with this and update the credit file accordingly. If I was aware of the due amount, I would have cleared it straight away.

I never had any sort of arrears throughout my life. Please help me to remove this default from my Credit file so that it can help me with my mortgage application

Sravan

@sravan 

You need to email your details to 

creditfilereferrals@telefonica.com

[MI5]

You also need to remove your personal details as this is a public forum.

Flagged to admin for removal too.

hello all, I sent multiple emails to "CreditFileReferrals@o2.com" & "creditfilereferrals@telefonica.com".
Sadly, I didn't get any response so far. I am very much worried that I might lose an opportunity to purchase my Dream house as the Developer can't wait beyond Feb. Not sure if there is any other option to get the Credit File updated soon. Would really appreciate any help. O2 team is my only hope to be able to submit my mortgage application
