O2 Overcharging Taraff calculation

Anonymous
Not applicable

My signed up tariff is £8.40.

But O2 charges tariff at £7.01 + Vat = £8.41. So overcharging 1p per month.

How many accounts are being overcharged. ??

Agree that this looks like a rounding issue rather than the annual price increase in line with RPI. If for no other reason, the increase isn't applied until April each year - so this years hasn't been applied yet. And as already suggested a 1p on £8.40 increase doesn't appear to fit any recent RPI rate.

 

Also agree that it's the principle and me being me I'd probably query it with CS, however whether 24p over the life of  the contract is worth half an hour or more on the phone is a matter for you. Maybe worth a query with Live Chat given it's a low value credit, I'm sure they could sort it for you too.

I work for O2, however any advice or opinion given in this community should be considered my own and not necessarily representative of Telefónica UK Limited.

I'm sure if you asked they would refund the 12p over the course of the year.
Have you taken into account the annual price increase on your tariff rate?

Looks like the annual price increase to me. I wouldn't worry about it if it's only 1p a month

Thing is that it is actually explained to you at the time of signing up or upgrading so you can't really say that you weren't expecting it

Next month?

1p will not cover the annual increase, if it stays at 1.3% it will be more like a 9/10p rise.

Much more likely to be the old rounding up scenario rather than rounding down.
