Confusing Contract Vicious Circle.

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi there to you all. I'm reaching a limit of patience even for myself with what mess a I've been dealt from o2 due to the simplest of mistakes with transferring from payg ee to a pay monthly contract with o2.

After an intense security check that trumps crossing borders and verges on military checkpoints, I triple-check the agreement I have with my in-store assistant that I want the 15gb/£20 off that is going on sale atm until 7/2. She prints the contract off that I have given an X for, and she realises that it is the 10gb/£17; fiasco ensues.

I have a package code assigned to the account; she cannot change it on the spot. Manager is brought into the fray and tells me initially that I would have to come into the store another day to sort it. After a brief conversation, he then explains that he can do it later in the day and will text when it's complete.
He does, promising that it has changed to the deal I wanted in the first place. All is well in the world.

Fast forward to two weeks later and my first bill, surprise; £35.
I call up customer service and after a lot of jargon from their Indian offices, they explain they have received an email stating they cannot change this, I will have to go back to the store.
(I also afterwards, try the online support, but then they tell me I have to phone up, so pretty useless all around.)

Instead of going into a store considering they have been able to sort out the issue apparently before whilst I've been away, I call the man responsible, and in the same hour, he apparently sorts this out again, explaining that I will receive a confirmation email and my next bill will be £5 to settle things; okay, I think. Fair enough.

Third time lucky? Don't think so.

No e-mail, and my o2 app still states £35 tariff with no bolt-on discount.

I've had enough, and time's ticking with this sale ending soon.
I feel like I should call back and see what's going on, but have lost all trust with the competency of the staff I have made the contract with. I don't think they know what they're doing.
Anybody had this issue before and know what happened; how to solve it? Any insight would be great. Thanks.

Ruth Snape.

 

(Edit: I'm currently stuck with a 15gb/£35 when it should be £20 with the sale applied. Thanks.)

Sounds good.
Well done 👍
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.
