Help - old DD with o2 mobile

Hi - looking for advice or to see if anyone else has been in a similar situation??

About 5 years ago i had a really good deal through o2 and paid 9.99 for what was known back then as a 'genie' sim card deal. I thought this had been cancelled when i got a pay monthly contract 3/4 yrs ago (my handset was broken). I have just discovered i have continued paying this 9.99 direct debit for the last 3/4 years. I cant remember exact dates but could find out.

Do i have any rights to claim this money back? It is clear that the mobile number has not been in use for at least 3/4 years - does anyone know if o2 have any obligation to refund me some or all of the money?

Thanks

    Nope sorry, I don't think you can do anything about it to be honest. Just because you haven't been using it, it doesn't mean you shouldn't pay, that would mean o2 owe me a days money because I haven't even switched mine on today.

    Its up to you to cancel your account and direct debits and keep on track of them I'm afraid.
