Solved: Over-charged again

Anonymous · ‎28-04-2014

Hi Everyone,

Hi Toby

I joined this group as I need an urgent help regarding O2 over charging me and wouldn't be considerate even though I have been with them for over 5years.

Here is my problem; Okay, I took out another line in February 2013, and ever since then I have been be calling this particular number (07874476105) that seems to be an UK mobile network.

Suddenly, in November 2013, I noticed my bill was ridiculously high, so I quickly went onto O2 website to chat with one of there gurus and she was able to help by saying the rise of the bill was due to a system error that she’s rectified it and usual monthly charges reflex on my next bill. I kept on making an everyday call to the same number because it happens to be a number I call everyday but unfortunately, in December when the bill came again, it was an absolutely appalling amount that came again, worst than the previous month. Then I took to O2 website to make another complain since the previous guru I chatted with told me it was an initial mistake from the system, at this time I was told the number I have been calling has been generating charges of the line but it is very unprofessional not to have informed me should incase there was a change in the term and conditions of contract. I never received any email or letter neither a notification to confirm changes in tariff on the number when dialled. Currently, as I type this email the charges on this particular number has resulted to over £700 and O2 is now threaten to send a bailiff into my home to take possessions worth that amount since I can't afford to pay the money required of me due to my circumstances as I'm unemployed and only on JSA benefit and also a single mother. Even though I have admitted to pay the lowest I can pay fro the time being to the time I get a secure job, still they aren’t having any of that.

Can you please help as soon as possible because this is highly a reap off. They never considered my 5years loyalty with them.

Could this be anything to do with the recent changes to the Channel Islands?

At a guess this number is based in the Chanel Islands, if so the number has now become an international number.
There were changes in the T&C's to reflect this.

One such recent thread here http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly-and-Pay-Go/calls-to-channel-islands/m-p/558416/highlight/tr...

Hi @jonsie and @MI5 ... Not wishing to appear any more of a dumbo than I actually am...but what has the

change to Channel Islands T&C got to do with the OP...is she posting from or living in the

Channel Islands then?

Good spot Adam - So it's a call forwarding number (possibly connected with overseas calling?), in which case the charges are correct and will have to be paid 😞

Calls to Channel Island mobile numbers used to be included in allowances until around November last year.....

So one avenue would be to request a transcript of the conversation with the Live Chat operator and go down the route of mis information ?

And yet again live chat fails! Should have given the poster correct advice i.e. the number falls into "non-mobile and call forwarding services" now if transcripts of chat are available then raising a formal complaint may result in a good will geasture
