So, I was stupid and took out a contract for my (at the time) long-term partner. He has now moved out and seems to be using his phone to gamble and stuff online using o2 payments or whatever it's called. Is there a way I can transfer the contract to an account in his name so it isn't in my account anymore.
The break-up was less than civil so talking about it isn't an issue. As a last resort is there a way to block him for using o2 payments?
Thanks in advance.

These payments will come under the "charge 2 mobile" scheme which CS will block if you ask them.

Thanks for your help.
He has had it for 9 months and given me the money for those 9 months, I've asked for the phone back but his arguement is that he has paid for it for so long, he needs something to show for it. I guess reporting it stolen is the only way, would it work with his argument though?

It is under your name and ur contract so it is your phone and contract, he is just using it. If you report it lost or stolen and have insurance on it you would still need to pay for the contract each month till it has ended I think .. @MI5 can confirm this?
Edited: lol and MI5 answers my question as I post it

It's not a shared tariff. It's a seperate account but still in the OP's name. That means all the responsibility for payment is with the OP.
If you aren't able to agree for your partner to make payments from their own account your best option is to get the phone back off them or report it lost and get the phone and the sim blocked. If your partner wants the phone then I'm sure he/she will be in touch quickly. You will still have to pay off the account in full. If it's Refresh then you just need to pay the handset.
