Last May O2 applied an incorrect default to my credit report. After a very painful process of trying to get in touch with someone to resolve it, it was finally removed but I lost out on the house I was trying to buy as a result of not having my mortgage in place.
I am now in the process of trying to purchase a new property and just been refused my mortgage AGAIN. Turns out O2 re-applied the incorrect default to my credit report in November - no idea why.
I have emailed the person who helped me last year who has confirmed it is a mistake and will have it investigated but I have been given no timescales and they have not replied to any of my emails looking for an update. I have called the payments team who havent helped, I have tweeted - that has made no difference. I have now made a complaint to the Ombudsman too.
I am now in the situation where I may lose another property because of this mistake. I cant actually the incompetence and the compelte lack of urgency in trying to resolve it for me. Can anyone suggest another route of actually being able to speak to a human being who can help with this before I lose another house!?
thanks Paula

All you can do is email them I'm afraid.

I sympathise with you on this.
It might also be worth putting on a Notice of Correction on your credit report and explaining the situation to the bank / broker who you are applying for a mortgage with.

As at the moment its taking up between 7 and 60 days to remove defaults, and some one somewhere in o2 will have disagreed with the person you emailed to have it put back on your credit report.
