Changing to married name on contract

Anonymous
Not applicable

Has anybody got any experience of changing their name on contract when you've got married etc? I am due an upgrade and can't at the moment because the name on my car phone warehouse account, o2 account and bank account don't match. I have easily changed my name at car phone warehouse and bank but o2 are sending me in circles. I printed the form out from the website and sent it with a copy of marriage certificate to email address shown (businessTOo...) I asked a week, sent an email enquiring what was happening and heard nothing. I asked on the online chart and they said it would be down first thing Monday morning. On Monday I had an email from them with a list of irrelevant questions not at all linked to changing a name on an account. I emailed go ask for confirmation that the questions had to be answered but no response. The second person on chat said I had to post the firms that I'd emailed. 

What I want to know is how do I quickly and easily change my account to my married name? Cancelling the contract takes 30 days so would like something quicker than that otherwise I'll cancel the account altogether. 

Thank you

Emailing the scanned documents didn't work for me as O2 can't receive attachments as 'attachments aren't viewable due to system limitations'. I've had an awful time getting my name changed and have been trying since 1st week in December.
I followed up by 'faxing' a copy of my documents and they didn't acknowledge them, I posted copies and that worked but only after 3 copies were posted. I'm STILL waiting for MYO2 records to be updated as no one in O2 knows how to do that bit. My billing details have finally been updated though. Yay! They got one thing right.
When I call them I/they still get confused as to which name I need to do the security check against.

Its ridiculous that a communications company is s**t at communicating.

Ridiculous that something so seemingly simple has to be so stressful and time consuming....

Quick question, if your billing details have been update then where does it show your old name in myo2? Is it the optional profile field?
