Changing Bank Detail and Name

[Anonymous]

Hi O2 Commuity.

I want to change my bank details and name for my phone contract. My phone is currently under my boyfriend's name and bank account, as he offered to put it under his name because I was under 18 and wasn't allowd to buy a phone contact. Now I have turned 18 I want to change it to my name and bank account. Could you help me to do it, or tell me a way how to do it? 

Thanks

He can change the bank details to your account in My O2. 

However to change the name he would have to pay off the contract and you would need to take out a new one in your name and it would be subject to a credit check.

Changing bank details is easy enough.....but as said the contract will remain in his name unless he pays it off. I don't think people realise this when they do something which they think is helpful.....

Of course if you default on payment this will affect his credit not yours.

... which in some circumstances can be a good thing

Not possible to change the name unfortunately.
You would need to take a new contract in your own name.
