Thanky ou. I have contacted O2 and wil let you know as soon as I hear from them. As far as I am aware I did not give the DCA any permission as I haven't ever heard from them until recently and the only thingI have said to them is that I am disputing this with O2.

I was on an 18month contract with O2 back in 2008. I cancelled my contract due to poor service on their part. I constantly had to return a faulty handset & they refused to replace it with a new model until they eventually stopped stocking the said item. I had a faulty phone for 4 months. Shortly after the contract was cancelled, I moved address, and inform O2 of this, advising them to contact me at this ddress with all correspondence. I never heard from them. I sent them a second letter and still heard nothing. I assumed they had cancelled the contract and wiped he debt. Several months later I moved to Australia for a year. On my return from Australia I tried to take out a contract with another phone company but was refused. I checked my credit rating to discover that O2 had put a default on my account in February 2010. I never received any correspondence from O2 the whole time I was in Australia (they had contact detaisl fro me) and I was never informed, or warned about the default. I mailled O2 on discovery of the default. THe following day I received a letter from them telling me that my debt had been passed on to a debt company (Coincidence?) I have since checked my credit rating again and now the debt company appears on there and has me down as missing a payment each month since Dec 08. I have never had any correspondence with with DCA. Can I wipe this debt for any reason? Can I get the default removed from my file? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
