Wrong name on direct debit

[Anonymous]

Bought a contract yesterday and just checked "My O2" but the Direct Debit is showing the wrong name - it should be coming out of a business account but shows my personal name, will this affect payment?

As you have a personal contract the name will always be yours but as long as you are an authorised signatory for that business account the direct debit should be ok.

So even though all details apart from name are exactly the same it should go through okay?

We had direct debits from our firms account that were just in a personal name of signatory.

Just remember the bill will always have your name on it if you are going to use it for accounts purposes / expenses etc

Thanks for that info @adamtemp64 Every day's a school day

All our business accounts are under one "business" but with individuals names against each number.

Don't want to worry you but I found o2 positively unhelpful in respect of my direct debit including denying that I had authorised it

I managed to resolve the issue in the end though the first person I spoke to spelt it wrong even though I said it phonetically too! Though it has finally been resolved
