DSL contract changed from FLEX to 24 months contract


Dear O2 Customer Service,

I initially entered into a O2 M Flex DSL contract on 23rd November 2022, with the understanding that I could cancel it at any time, providing the desired flexibility. Then I applied to transfer my contract to my new residence within Germany from the start of August 2023. The Flex contract remained in effect until 22nd August, even after I relocated to a new address, adhering to the terms and conditions.

 

However, to my surprise, for the month of September, the contract was automatically changed to a 24-month contract (this is what the customer service agent told me) without my explicit consent. This change was contrary to our agreement and was made one month after my relocation to a new address, violating the terms we initially agreed upon. I didn’t receive any email or letter by post informing me about this. I got aware of this when I received the invoice for the month of Sep 2023.

 

Notably, the monthly charges remained the same at €34.99, even though my contract was unilaterally altered without my consent. This discrepancy is concerning, as I had specifically opted for the Flex contract due to its flexibility and the possibility of cancellation at any time.

 

Now I want to cancel the contract as I no longer intend to use it and  I request that this cancellation is processed as soon as possible to avoid any further inconvenience. I have already sent a written letter to O2 explaining to them the situation but I received a letter stating it could only be canceled in Aug 2025. The thing is I no longer want to use the internet and would prefer the advantages of the original FLEX contract which could terminated in an ad hoc basis.

 

I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. If you require any additional information or documentation to facilitate the cancellation process, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Thank you for your assistance and understanding.

When you order a move, you can decide: Pay the moving fee and keep the contract term unchanged or pay no moving fee and in return extend the contract by 24 months. Please check your confirmation to see which of the two options you have chosen. 

@blablup Thanks for your response!

I was actually indeed charged the one-time ‘moving the connection’ fees of 49.99€ as well. Moreover, the monthly prices remained the same as of FLEX plan i,e 34.99€ (which I think should have been reduced to 29.99€ for 24 month contract).

Please wait for an o2 moderator. This may take a few days to weeks. 

btw: Flex contracts and contracts with a minimum contract term have the same monthly base price. See price list.

Okay, I see that for the minimum term contract for existing o2 customers (o2 M plan in this case) costs 29,99 euros or am I understanding something different? If they both are of the same price why would someone choose to bind themselves in a contract and not go for flex plans?

Anyway, I would have to wait for the o2 moderators to respond to this matter

Hey @Shub02,

Welcome to the o2 Community
Please excuse the long response time 

I see that a letter was sent to you yesterday :) If you haven't received it yet, please be patient. 
 

Greetings,

Flo

Hey @o2_Flo ,
Thank you for your response. The thing is that I have already moved out of that apartment and hence it won’t be possible for me to receive any letters or mails from there. Could you please forward the letter to my email inbox or to a diffrent postal address (which i can share with you privately)? This would be really helpful.

Thanks,
Shubham

Hello @Shub02 ,

it is your contractual responsibility to keep the contact information like address correct and updated. From what I can see it was send to the last address that we have of you. Did you receive the letter?

 

Kind regards, Sven

Hey @o2_Sven ,

As mentioned previously I don’t have access to my Berlin address anymore and hence can’t confirm whether I received any letter or not. As a result I am not sure what decsion was made in regards to this matter. I would request you to please share that letter over email as I don’t have a permanent address (have a temporaray accomodation for now) in Berlin. I would upadte my address once I find a permanent solution.

Regards,
Shubham

Hello @Shub02,

unfortunately, we can not send the letter again by email.

Our customer support has sent you a confirmation of the cancellation of your landline contract by November 16th.

Can you change your contact adress to an adress where you can receive mail? We can then arrange for it to be sent again.

Best regards

Giulia

 

I have changed the address now. Please can it send to the new address now?

Hello @Shub02 ,

I’ve ordered for another confirmation to be send out to you now. You should be receiving it within the near future.

 

Kind regards, Sven
