sheffield7 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Abit of advice guys I am on 02 network and somebody has rang in trying to hijack my number which went through. This resulted me loosing my business number for 3 weeks. I have been able to get my number back. Got a manager to listen into the call and he confirmed that data protection was broken within the 02 and the advisor did not go through security with the third party and which allowed the third party to transfer my number to a different SIM card How do I go forward in suing and taking matters further, I have lost out on a lot of money which meant by business suffered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Step by Step ... Write to O2 and ask them for what you want. Detail exactly what has happened and what losses/compensation you want reimbursed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alarmingmark Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Forget it you will get nowhere with O2 they don't give a damm....and will break a contract if it's better for them. Make sure you record all conversations with O2 as they will say they have no records of your call . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxxman Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 You could try OFCOM at http://www.ofcom.org.uk Or try the Information Commisioners Office at http://ico.org.uk OFCOM will deal with the complaint about O2 & ICO may also get involved re: a Data protection complaint.

charmer Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 You need to raise a dispute with o2 before going to an ombudsman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
999tigger Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Try the internal route first, collect all evidence and make notes of who said what when. Edited November 23, 2014 by 999tigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
