Hi @Heartless 

Sorry for your troubles but you can't expect O2 to know of your personal problems. Also had you set up a direct debit this wouldn't happen.

No point going to the Ombudsman or a solicitor before you follow the official complaint route.

https://www.o2.co.uk/how-to-complain 

Although, as you didn't pay your bill on time I wouldn't waste time going to either.

This looks like something you’d need to call O2’s Payment management team about. You can reach them by calling -0800 902 0217.

 If you have no access to a phone then use Skype to call - 0800 032 1402

A guide to Skype here USING SKYPE

When you call, you will be asked for the reason you are calling,

Stay silent for 15 seconds and you will be taken to the keypad options.

Press 2 for Everything Else

Press 5 for More Options

Press 7 for Anything Else which will put you though to an advisor.

Press Upgrade, Lost/Stolen or Fraud if you have to.

8am is the best time to call

Or

If you message O2 on Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter ( https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG) , they should be able to help you with this

@Heartless 

I'm not sure what your solicitor will do apart from wasting your money, and the ombudsman won't care.  The agent is working to the rules, and you haven't followed the correct process...  

For it to get to the reconnection stage it has got to a very late stage in the process, and is over 1 month late.

Unfortunately this is something where the minority spoil it for other people, as I have heard customers in other call centres use all sorts of excuses to get out of paying for things and 99% of them you can tell are lying.. 

Contact Payment Management sooner rather than later, as the next is the debt collectors hounding you for payment.
