i am sparticus: Update On The O2 Situation

Update On The O2 Situation

Right, so two weeks ago I got a letter off some debt collection people on behalf of O2 saying that O2 intend to sue me. I was obviously rather peaved at this on a whole bunch of levels. Firstly for never informing me that I owed them money, secondly for never giving me a reason for my owing them money, thirdly that the money they were sueing me for was five times larger that the figure I owed and fourthly for sullying the good name of Mark Nathan Walley. So I wrote some letters, as did my parents, I also e-mailed them repeatedly (I would have rung them, but as previously noted, nobody (not any of the 118's, nor O2 regular, nor the debt collection people) had their number). No reply for two weeks. Then today, a letter arrives in the post, a personalised letter! With a non-0900 phone number! And a name to speak to! So I ring them up, speak to some guy, who apologies for not contacting me about the debt, for sueing me for so much and for not replying to my e-mails for two months. I explain to him that I'll pay the nineteen quid as it turns out I genuinely owe them, but no more as it's not my fault that I didn't pay it. He agrees, I pay them ninteen pounds and he agrees to make sure my credit rating stays at the lofty heights (or lowly depths, whichever one of those is good for a credit rating) it's already at. Hooray!

So that's it for O2 now. Barring them billing me huge amounts of money, or forgetting to tell the debt collection people to stop hounding me, or firing rockets at my house. Huzzah!
