why can no one at 02 set up a direct debit? I have been trying since January to set one up. Every month I have to phone up and get told that its all set up. Then I find a threatening text message to say the bill hasnt been paid! This is for my elderly mother and its driving us both mad! Please can someone help? She is stuck in a contract so cant even switch.

Explaining that to O2 is all you can do, somebody must listen to you eventually.

Have you checked the DD is in place with your bank?

If that doesn't work raise a complaint: http://www.o2.co.uk/how-to-complain

O2 should be able to supply you with their details to set it up yourself. I'm not sure why they are having problems setting it up, they are always able to do it with new accounts. Any particular reason she cancelled the original?

Hi @Anonymous

I am sure this is indeed very annoying and worrying for you.

In addition to what others have said I would also suggest that you check, if you can, that there are sufficient funds in your mother's account at the appropriate date each month.  It may just be a cash flow issue.

 

Good luck.
