my contract expires in a few days, I phoned 02 to ask about new deals, they tell my I have failed their security questions and that the name on the phone account is nothing like mine. I pay the bill through my bank and have done for 23 months, I have paperwork from Carephone Warehouse to say I purchased the deal from them and have passed all of their security questions, but they cannot help me further as my network provider is 02.
02 are unable to speak to me as I don't know the bogus name that they have on my account, I cannot even cancel the account as I don't pass the security questions on this account. I did I live chat on 26/12/17 - 2.5 hours later they said they couldn't help and told me to phone 202, they can't help me as I don't pass the security questions. I have paperwork from 02 verifing the account is mine with my name on. Exasperated is an understatement - where do I go from here? I've currently spent 4.5 hours on this and am no further.

Finally all resolved , new contraced sorted, but not without hassle, things to note, when taking out a new contract online ( once everything is in your name that is), be aware that the emails you are sent are not correct, any offer is shown on an email at the full price and not the offer price, any email stating you will take "delivery" of an item, take no notice as nothing is sent to you, disregard nano and other sim card options, as you use the original sim on the new deal, be well prepared with a list of queries when you phone so you can just rattle down the list.
I spoke to an amazing woman, clearly had worked there for quite some time, a fountain of knowledge, I was sorted in a matter of minutes, give this woman an increment.
Thanks also to everyone who took the time to help me.
Cheers!!

Brilliant @Mitzy😀 and yes, the importance of getting through to an experienced adviser who knows their stuff. More importantly that they practice the old-fashioned customer service and actually want to sort issues out.
@Martin-O2 can you get more information on time of call etc by PM so that the lady in question gets the praise she deserves. There is a thing called job satisfaction and she must get that in buckets.
