Mobile operator O2<\/a> (VMO2) has been fined \u00a3150k by the UK telecoms regulator, Ofcom<\/a>, after they were found to have provided “inaccurate and incomplete information<\/em>” during an earlier investigation into the company’s billing issues (here<\/a>), which separately resulted in the operator being fined \u00a310.5m for overcharging customers.<\/p>\n

Section 135 of the Communication Act 2003<\/strong><\/a> requires providers to provide information, in a reasonable period of time, when responding to such a request from Ofcom<\/a>. Failure to supply the requested information could potentially lead to a fine or other action, depending upon the context.<\/p>\n

In this case, Ofcom<\/a>’s prior investigating into a huge billing blunder by O2<\/a>, which between 2011 and 2019 resulted in more than 140,000 of their customers being “overcharged,<\/em>” is said by the regulator to have been hampered after the mobile operator “provided incorrect and incomplete responses<\/em>” to their requests. This in turn contributed to their investigation “taking longer to complete than necessary<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

On this point the regulator is particularly scathing of O2<\/a> and they certainly don’t beat around the bush in expressing that.<\/p>\n

Ofcom’s Statement<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

O2 has a history of contraventions in this area, and demonstrated a level of carelessness in responding to our information requests.<\/p>\n

We take such failings seriously and have decided to fine O2 \u00a3150,000 for this breach of its regulatory obligations. The penalty includes a 25% reduction from the penalty we would otherwise have imposed, as a result of O2 accepting liability and entering into a settlement.<\/p>\n

We have also told O2 to review its processes and systems for responding to our information requests.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The announcement, perhaps ironically, follows only a day after we reported that the operator was suffering from disruption to their billing platform (here<\/a>). Sadly, O2 still hasn’t responded to our hails over this issue.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 11:10am<\/strong><\/p>\n

A spokesperson for O2 told ISPreview.co.uk: “We responded in good faith to Ofcom\u2019s information requests on this complex matter, which they have accepted. We will undertake a review of our internal governance to ensure we have suitable processes and systems in place to respond to any future information requests<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

The operator was also keen to point out that this is a complex case, which is understood to have required third-parties to provide data on the historical issue (Ofcom did acknowledge this).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
