Looks like you don't have to worry, leave it a week or so

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...

ooh! oh dear... I must not get the phone. I must not get a new phone. I must be contented. Credit / contract is a bad idea. Look at all the problems ntl have with changes to packages as it is...

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...

Hi,

I am posting on behalf of my mother, she just applied again after reading the front page of CF for the Virgin Mobile offer and has been rejected again we have been a customer of NTL for 1 3/4 years coming up to 2 soon.

Is there anything she can do, I have the order ref of virgin mobile

I don't think that credit rating should matter as in my opinon it should be to do with your NTL account how you pay etc...

Regards,
Garry

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...

I just tried and failed their credit check to!

Weird as I don't owe anyone any dosh and I am on the electroll register???

I have been with NTL for a year and a half and have always paid via direct debit and have never missed or been late with a payment!

Think i'll stick with vodafone after all, maybe more expensive but as some one once said:

"You get what you pay for"

theres a very good chance that it is infact NTL:tw (credit control?)that have placed your credit file in (unlawful?)default etc, and hence why Virgin in this case, are refusing you credit, in light of several posters here also saying they have failed , YOU should really think about finding out what ,when,who and why these bad marks etc are on your credit files, and have them removed ASAP by filling in an N1 county court application if need be.

its also werth restating that EVERY TIME some/any firm makes a check on your credit file, it will be registered there and if an undetermind number is found there, then that will also mean you fail the credit check so its not a good thing to keep asking Vodaphone to re-check you, you can check as often as you like as its marked as you checking your file, although im sure some automated checkers will ignore the fact its you checking you, and so might also fail you on that basis.

heres a link to (in this case a vodafone) default removal and how these companys dont like to remove your personal data to get you started.

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...istress-2.html


rememeber its £2 +registerd post and postal order charge (easy tracking/proof for later)to get your credit file from each of the 3 main CRA'a , no more than that so dont let them con you into paying more unless you are ready to pay for instant online service, and that doesnt get you full access as you cant customise your request as easly.

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...

Well...

i was considering this offer (for my daughters phone) as she was getting 300 offpeak mins & 500 txts from o2 for (my) £20 p/m - i was thinking 300/300 + Lobster was pretty good from Virgin for £10 p/m.
When i used this as a bargaining tool, i've ended up with 750 anytime mins/750 texts plus a Samsung E900 for £20 p/m!
so thanks to Virgin i'm better off!

(I didn't fancy the credit check nonsense)

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...

I failed the credit check three times before I got my virgin mobile/ntl deal. The person taking the information got my name and address wrong. It is a good deal but takes perseverance!

I already have a Virgin post-pay PAYG SIM so have passed their credit check. Does anybody know whether I can have the £10 pm deal added to my current number or do I need to take out a new contract?

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...

You can have your current Virgin Mobile Number added to the deal as this is what I have done as I had an old PAYG Virgin Mobile account.

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...

Applied yesterday for the offer at 16.30 in the afternoon. By 17.30 everything was done, and my new mobile number was mailed to me also. Just waiting for the SIM card to arrive. Hope I don't regret this..
