Random bills.

[bills]

I have been with o2 for years now. Unfortunately I have been off work for the last 3 months due to a serious illness and being in hospital. Ofcourse I haha not been able to pay my phone bill, which means no data etc which was ok. However. They then decided to close down my full phone where I could not make any outgoing calls or receive any incoming call. Practically living in the hospital you can see this would be difficult for me. I was going through a really hard time and sounds silly but i couldn’t even use my phone to interact with people through my boring days in hospital. I asked my mother to call in to see if we could sort some sort of plan but she was told told she couldn’t as she is not the policy holder, I’m assuming you wanting me to speak who was practically unconscious for a while. Anyway I managed to use another phone (random phone which is embarrassing) to call you guys and all i got was passed round in circles. No help what so ever. I genuinely only needed to reschedule these months on to other months. I am a loyal customer and pay my bill everyone but unfortunately Came in to some serious illness issues, which was also costing me money, not to mention other household bills I was paying and cars . I feel the company has not deal with this in a professional manner. I don’t want out of paying the money but a little empathy along the way would be okay. So again as my phone is cut off I would like someone to email me personally at ashleyfoth1x**Personal info** with some sort of resolution because agents on the phone seem to have no empathy or the natural ability to control a conversation which was hard for me to have. Thanks. I also randomly got apple charges on my phones from apps that I have NEVER used or heard from. Another £80 on top. Please get back in touch. Thanks

Hi @bills

I am sorry to hear you've been ill and are in hospital but you are not speaking to O2. This is a customer forum, which O2 do not view, and we are all customers like yourself and have no access to customer accounts.

O2 will also not email you or phone you back. You have to contact them, I'm afraid.

You need to persevere with Customer Services

http://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

and ask to speak to the Payment Management Team who are the only ones who can help you sort this out.

O2 will block a phone when bills go unpaid and the next step will be to hand your account to a debt collection agency. This is made very clear in the T&Cs you signed when taking out your contract so you need to speak to Customer Services asap to arrange a payment plan. The best time to ring is between 8-8:30am to avoid a long time on hold.

With regard to uknown charges on your phone bill please have a look here
