Contract issued wrongly


On October 2, 2024, I received a call from O2 informing me that my existing contract would expire in six months and that I could continue receiving benefits by renewing it. I agreed to this renewal over the phone. However, I later received two emails—one confirming my existing contract renewal and another for a new SIM contract, which I never agreed to. Since I was under the impression that I had only renewed my existing contract, I did not realize a separate SIM contract had been issued.

On October 14, 2024, I contacted O2 customer service and specifically requested to cancel the contract issued on October 2. At no point was I asked for a contract number, and I assumed that my contract renewal had been canceled. However, I later discovered that only the new SIM contract was canceled, while my existing contract’s renewal remained active.

Since then, whenever I called the O2 hotline, I was told that the issue had been raised and I would be informed but nothing happened. I am not sure what to do here. This situation is not my fault. I never agreed to the new SIM contract, and it should not have been issued. When I called on October 14, O2 should have clarified which contract I was referring to and ensured that my actual request—to cancel the contract issued on October 2—was fulfilled.

Hello ​@mka_999 ,
welcome to our o2 Community 
I am sorry that there have been disagreements here. 
A contract was canceled. 
The contract extension was not canceled. 
A complaint was rejected because the 14-day revocation period had already expired. 
Why do you want to cancel the extension? 
Kind regards,
Solveig

Hello ​@o2_Solveig,

I would like to cancel the extension because now I have to pay 5€/month more than what I was paying with my old contract.


Kind regards,

Hey ​@mka_999,

There was probably a misunderstanding about what you wanted to have canceled. You already suspected this after you called us.

But a contract extension was what you actually wanted, do I understand that correctly? What does your bill say you're paying 5 euros more for?

Hey ​@o2_Lea,

>There was probably a misunderstanding about what you wanted to have canceled. You already suspected this after you called us.
No, I didn’t suspect this within the 14-day revocation period because, as I mentioned, I had only agreed to a contract extension, and thus, I thought when I called to cancel the contract issued on 2nd October, the contract extension was canceled. 

> But a contract extension was what you actually wanted, do I understand that correctly?
Initially, yes, and therefore, I agreed on the call, but later, I didn’t want to and hence called up within the 14-day revocation period to cancel it.

My question is, why was a new sim contract issued to me in the first place? If I never agreed to a new sim contract, then it should not be my responsibility to cancel it. I am only responsible for canceling the contract extension which I did within 14-day.

Hey ​@mka_999,

I have good news for you. 😊 I have taken a very close look at your situation and can offer you the following solution: 
I have already reset your contract term to the old status. You currently have the same tariff as before, but with less discount. I will be happy to reinstate the previous discount so that you pay the same amount as before. I can also credit you with the amount you paid more for the last few months. Would that be a good solution for you and would you be happy with it?
