Speak to O2 cs on 202 now

Also speak to your bank Cs if necessary.

I would recommend setting up a Direct Debit with O2 to stop issues like this.

phoned o2 and they were useless. Also, the o2 advisor last month incorrectly set up my DD and this is why im doing it manually.

I've had another text from this number today saying im late in paying my device plan and that an instalment of £20 is overdue.  My payment isnt due til 10th August and I dont pay £20, I pay more than that? Its threatening to divert my outgoing calls?

Most likely an error but wise to call CS on 202 to check.
