Help with release of "pending" transactions

Having been thwarted in all but one of the three attempts to pay in full for my handset, I am now left with two "Pending" transactions reserved from my current account.

I cannot cancel them, and the bank tell me they also cannot cancel them saying that only O2 can do this.

I have emailed the CEO's office giving the authorisation codes for these reserved transactions but no one there is helping me.

My worry is that these purchase attempts were not "seen" by O2 during the attempts to buy the phone, due to the browser's pop-up blocker having interfered with the process on two occasions.

I think this means that O2 are blissfully unaware that these two aborted attempts to give them a total of £1011 and so will never recind the codes.

CAN SOMEONE ADVISE ME WHO TO SPEAK TO IN THE UK ON THE PHONE?

Thanks.

Thanks PhoneChanger, have to say I was initially impressed with their efficiency but that may have been earlier in the day.

What really wound me up was the total lack of response to the phone call, it is unforgivable that a caller is held in a queue ad infinitum without any supervision of the dratted robot DJ.

In my case I elected to hang up after 34 minutes!

Today, I have received an email advising that the cash management team have now released the reserved sums!

Yay! party weekend at mine!

Hi everyone, I have the same problem with £760 x3 being on hold for 48 hours. Confirmed this with my bank and they cannot cancel it. Been trying to get a hold of the Payments Management Team without any luck.
Hoping for a quick resolution.
