payment complaint

Hello, 

I am very unsatisfied with the customer service of O2. I have had a contract with O2 in Germany for 2 years which was going to expire at the end of October 2020. I decided to renew the contract and was offered a better alternative. However, due to circumstances caused by the pandemic I had to leave Munich indefinitely and on quite short notice and therefore I cancelled the new contract as of 23.01.2021 (after a long exchange of emails with very poor communication from O2 I must add). I was charged the 3 months penalty cancellation fee (for November, December and January) which I understood. I was even charged the 40 EUR activation fee for the new sim card even though I have never used it. However I thought this would at least be the end of it. Much to my surprise I received an additional invoice on top of all these payments (in total of around 110 EUR for a sim card I never used once) in the amount of 12.25 EUR for the time period 05.01 - 04.02. I contacted the customer support for an explanation but I did not receive any proper clarification on this. Can someone explain to me why I was charged extra? I find this situation very disappointing and I must say if I ever move back to Germany, O2 will never be on my list of potential providers again. Your company feels like a rip off.

Hi @Cosmina

 

nice that you found the way to our English Community. 

 

I understand that sometimes the invoices are not easy to understand for our customers, esspecially when you follow the termination procedure because of moving abroad. 

 

First of all, I am happy to inform you that your contract was deactivated on 24th January 2021. 

 

Please find here the information concerning the cancellation because of moving abroad: instructions concerning the cancellation because of moving abroad

 

Under this link you find the following statement: 

Usually the final invoice is released retroactively. It contains the proportional basic charge until the termination date and the remaining fee if you signed a 24 month contract. Connections outside the flatrate such as calling helplines or abroad are also charged.

 

So, additionally to the 3-months basic fee that you have payed because of cancelling your contract before the normal duration of 24 months, of course the monthly basic fee is charged until the 23rd January 2021.

 

This is now the last invoice that you receive from us. There will be no further payments. 

 

I am happy that I could help you with this information. 

 

Loving greetings,

Tobias
