Direct Debit Problems

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi,

I am getting increasingly frustrated with this.

 

New back account (now over 3 old weeks as I type this) - attempted to manually change direct debit for my o2 payments page.

Get error "incorrect sort code or account number"

Tried a few days later, same result.

 

Called o2 a week ago, support tried manually - same result, said to wait a few days and try again.

 

Tried myself again on Tuesday, same errors.

Called O2 again, manually put it through and said you will get confirmation in 48 hours.

It is now Saturday, 4 days later. No confirmation.

 

Logged in once again to MyO2 today, option for "view payments" has now disappeared so I now cannot attempt to amend the old direct debit details.

Called O2, tried to again manually amend but yet again same error regarding account number and sort code.

 

My new back account is fine, I have already got another direct debit setup on it.

Called my bank, they say there are no errors on the account, no restrictions or blocks.

 - What is going on?

 - How can i solve this?

 - Why are your details out of date?

(it proves this is the case as I have setup another direct debit with another company)

 

I have wasted at least 5 hours on it that I wont get back from my life.

 

Really not happy and feel rather unsupported by this.

Probably going to get cut off or restricted now because no payment is setup currently from what I can see on MyO2 account....Not paying by card, purpose of this was to setup direct debit.

 

Also, would have preferred email but it did not list any under the contact us webpages I was directed to. Phone numbers only, which to date has not been any help to me.

Good to know it's sorted. It's been a difficult task for something that should have been easy to do.

Thanks all

 

Ok latest is now MyO2 is showing the correct Direct Debit.

No text or email confirming the change, is now over 24 hours.

 

Bank account has not registered the Direct Debit yet from online portal (was pretty fast with first one I setup, within like 2 hours). Will keep an eye out for this over next few days.

 

Looks sorted but I won't be counting my chickens, until I see it registered Ok at online banking and go out properly.

 

Regards,

F

If it's set up on your account and showing I can see no reason for it not to be taken.

Hi

Just a final note.

Got sorted, wasn't charged any late fees and after the complaint I got a few quid off my last 2 bills.

They had a record of all my calls trying to be proactive, with the issue remaining unresolved each time, which really helped my case.

 

Anyway thanks to all for assistance, just thought I should let you know final outcome.

 

Mods, feel free to close this out.

 

Regards, F
