Someone else's broadband account is linked to my email address

[lo11ius]

Hi team,

I am looking for some help from a community coordinator to resolve a data privacy issue regarding a broadband account. Another customer with the same name as me has accidentally registered their new EE Broadband account using my personal email address. As a result, I am receiving their private contract details and account updates.

I spoke on the phone with an advisor named Sophie, who investigated the issue. She confirmed it is a genuine clerical error (the other customer has a very similar email to mine) and not fraud. However, the email address she gave me to follow up is bouncing back as undeliverable.

Could a moderator please send me a secure private message? I need someone to look up the notes left by Sophie, locate the other customer's broadband account, and remove my email address from their profile to stop the GDPR breach.

Thank you!

I've spoken to 2 customer service reps, and emailed, raised a fraud complaint, I'm literally at the end of my tether and this forum was my last resort.

This public forum can't help you with anyone's personal details. It would be a breach of all privacy laws.
