Openreach address incorrect

Go to solution

Hi. As the subject says my address is incorrect on the openreach database which is restricting my choices for provider. Anyone advise best course of action to correct this asap.

Im currently with BT. Ive been in the property 20+ years and was unaware the address was not the same as royal mail database.

Contact your provider and ask they do an ORDI ( Openreach data integrity ) check, to align the information that OR hold , with the RM/PO database .

Multiple times over the past 5 years, even on here and still not fixed. They somehow managed to change all my  billing info, but the root of the problem still remains.

Re: My BT - SORRY There's been a technical error

Looks like I was too quick to think my errors were fixed completely.

 

My billing address was wrong and now it's fixed, but you would have thought that ordering anything would use the same address. No it seems they are completely different.

 

Went to order a new sim, got through all the selections fine and just as I am about to select proceed, I notice the address the sim would be sent to is wrong. Checked back to my billing address and that is correct, why on earth would the addresses be different. HELP it was trying to get my address fixed in the first place that started this months of errors and customer support fiascos of lies and false promises. I HAVE ONE ADDRESS MY HOME PHONE IS ATTACHED TO.

 

How hard can it be to get an address corrected.

Re: Openreach address incorrect

You asked on your previous post why there would be more than one address for an account, AFAIK, in the past it was possible to have an billing address , different to the address the service was being supplied at, more a business thing ( but presumably some residential customers may have benefited ) you could have several addresses but wanted all the invoice/bills to go to a central point for payment…( basically the branch office ‘bills’ were sent to ‘head office’ for payment ) …probably a historic field in a computer database that’s not needed anymore ( especially for residential ) with direct debit etc,  but if filled in incorrectly could cause issues, it however shouldn’t have any effect on moving providers as it’s ‘BT’ rather than OR.

If your ORDI has been checked previously ( and was OK or amended ) then issues you have may not be down to that, if of course it’s still wrong, it should be sorted, but you did say it was done on your early post.

Re: Openreach address incorrect

At the time there was only BT, OR was unknown to me, and for a naive residential customer to understand the intricacies of how an individual business works internally regarding addresses for billing and services is a bit presumptuous. I understand now, but if I have a problem with getting things delivered, I speak to BT customer services having no idea of OR role in all this. Hopefully once OR has updated their database all will sort itself.
