Hey folks,
Quick question, my soon to be ex wife has defaulted on her credit card and a catalogue. She is now wanting me.... (oh yes me) to set up a new line for her as she has broken her phone.
She is currently on a paid off refresh plan, can she upgrade or would it fail due to her defaults. Its worth noting that her bill has always been paid on time, well it was when she was with me anyway.
I am certainly not taking out another line for her, put it that way.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Now, assuming the contract was in her name originally, she can upgrade without getting credit checked by O2, so the other defaults won't matter in this instance.
If, however, the account was originally in your name, she will be credit checked when taking out a new one in her own name.

From what she was saying though, someone told her she could upgrade her line (which is under my name) and move it to her own name at the same time.
It sounds like it would basically be a new account with the old number.
Not that I am trying to be evil here, but surely O2 would need my permission to close down that line and move it into her name?

So may be in your best interest to close that line down.

@Curr946 I understand u wanting to keep it friendly ergo a easy divorce. But in this instance you're potentially on the hook for a whacking great bill if she defaults after upgrading online...
Imo you should shut down the contract immediately and let her sort out her own telecommunications contracts and arrangements. This may cause some friction, but you'd at least be saving yourself potential aggro in the future..
If you tell her you're doing it and be straight up about why then that's probs the best way. Nobody wants to be financially tied to an ex if at all possible.
Good luck.
