Hi all,

I am hoping the forum will solve my issue or the next step is small claims court and the ombudsman.  I originally had one contract with 02. The wife’s phone was due to end with Vodafone so I naturally as I pay the bill I said I would take an additional line on my account for her. We were due to go on Holiday in 3 days time so I did a click and collect for the contract for an iphone 7 for next day.

 

The next day I went into my local 02 shop to collect the order and the phone had not even left the warehouse. The manager of the store suggested I take out another contract and when the phone I ordered over O2 online came into the store she would send the contract back. She explained I would see 3 numbers on my account until the phone is sent back.

 

I took the third line and we took the phone away with us. I come back of holiday nearly a month later and I see the contract still listed on my account. I go straight back to the store that apologise perfusely and explain that they forgot to send the contact back and unfortunately its gone over the 14 days. At this point I am now angry demanding to see the manager but she will not come out. The other store manager explains this is a mistake and they will sort it. They asked me to take the phone contact 02 for the return and they will type “notes” to explain this is there issue.

I ring 02 and explain the above and get the phone sent back.

1 week later, I ring to chase up and they can see the phone has

 

  • NEVER been used
  • Sim card never been used

I provide them the royal mail tracking  number which shows signature and who signed for the parcel.

 

GUESS what the phone still listed on my account and I am now charged with a disconnection fee and threatening to ruin my credit rating. This is totally outrages and I feel victim of fraud basically. The store refuse to take issue and 02 still have not removed the phone from my account.

Hi @Bmwboy this sounds a real mess.

You need to make an official complaint. https://www.o2.co.uk/how-to-complain

Use Resolver in the complaints link. It usually gets better results Resolver

All we can suggest is that you make an official complaint.
Try using Resolver for the best results https://www.o2.co.uk/how-to-complain
If that fails to give you satisfaction, you can then escalate to the Ombudsman.

As this is a customer to customer forum, unfortunately not.
@Martin-O2 or @Marjo can liaise with O2 but generally don't work at weekends, sorry.
