Hi

Can anyone help or offer advice please?

I’m currently abroad and have moved from O2 to Giff Gaff, having received my notice of increased bills incoming from O2 - using the 30 day period, with no added charges.

I had confirmation of this in my online text chat with an agent.

 

I today received notification of my next bill - £179.71 to be taken around 3 December by Direct debit.

Which is an early end of contract charge - which I feel I shouldn’t be paying, as per the confirmation I had in my online chat with an agent before leaving.

 

My monthly tariff was around £16.00.

 

Here is my problem.

I only return to the uk on 8 December.

I now cannot contact anyone human at O2 online as my billing details have been taken off my o2 and I don’t receive texts that the auto agent sends out with a security code in it, If I call the uk help number.

I have tried the WhatsApp number shown online but doesn’t seem to be a response.

 

My only solution I can see for now, is to cancel my direct debit for December and either correspond via any email they may send me about the cancellation (if it’s not from a ‘no reply’ email account).

Or go into a O2 store when I get back and hopefully resolve it through them / contact with billing dept vis them?

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

Is that a minus figure or just a hyphen @TonyW1 ?

If minus, it means your account is in credit
