Three does not improve your credit score.

[Kofogt]

Three has refused to report the fact I pay over £40/ month to any credit union so it’s a big fat waste of time. I am probably going to leave three after my contract ends for a company that will report that I pay my bills on time.

i contacted customer care. Asked them to email me not call. Asked them to cc my lawyer. They called when I was at work and closed my case.

poor customer service. Refusal to listen to a client. Asked them to send me the chat, agent said after the chat ends he will and did not send the chat.

Three are definitely reporting to the credit reference agencies for me. And they have done for all my previous accounts too. Are you on pay monthly or pay as you go. As it will only apply to pay monthly customers as you have to pass a credit check for this.

I pay monthly. I have opened several cases about it and they refuse to respond.

I’m sorry (and I say this with the utmost respect) you must be wrong. All pay monthly customers have to be credit checked before being accepted for a contract and all companies,not just Three report regularly on the conduct of that account to the very same credit agencies that were consulted prior to the commencement. Perhaps if you haven’t already done so you could consult Equifax or Clear Score or download any of their apps and check for yourself but really,I’m struggling to believe (respectfully) that you’re not mistaken in all this. 
It would also be interesting to know what Three said to you in reply to the “cases” you’ve opened.

As you can see they report 0 that I pay nothing. I pay over £20 a month for data and for the phone I bought another 20. They close my case with no solution or relevant message.

Hi @Kofogt,

I haven't approved one image as it contains personal information. However, I see what the misunderstanding is. Your balance is £0 at the time that your credit report is being generated. Most CRAs do this once per month, so it's not unusual for accounts to appear this way.

The figure you're seeing as £0 is a balance, how much you owe, not how much you pay. The cases you're raising won't result in an amendment to your credit file, unless an error on Three's part has demonstrably damaged your credit score in some way.

Thanks,
Jonathan

When fishing for a network to switch to end of my contract I tried Vodafone.

they increased my credit score by reporting how much I paid and I paid it on time. Three reports I pay 0 on time.

Thanks for this @Kofogt, my understanding of your screenshot is that you had £9 "balance" with Vodafone outstanding at the time your credit report was ran, and that you pay them on time. It doesn't make reference to how much you pay them.

I'd recommend to contact the organisation which supplies the credit report for you, if you don't think this is correct, or need advice on how to interpret the information they're supplying you.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hopefully @Kofogt you now have a clearer idea.
