02 debt

Hello,

I have a 24 months contract with o2, I took on January 2013, 11 pounds per month.

I did not pay the bill for the last 2 months, and now I just found out that I need to pay extra 200 pounds to reconnect the line

The bills i own are only 22 pounds because I hadn't even used the phone for the last 3 months, which I am happy to pay now, but not the 200 pounds.

I find it lets say silly that for only 22 pounds debt they cancelled contract and that they reconsider to connect it back, but if only i pay 200 pounds.

If I only pay the bill of 22 pounds and not the rest of 200, what can they really do to me ?

Thanks in advance.

    Not reconnect you for a start but also you owing will show up on your credit record ruining any chance of further credit without paying high rates.
