recently i phoned three to upgrade my phone after around 2 hours on the phone we finally came to a decision and was told my new phone would be with me on monday, until they ran a credit check on me! 2 years ago when i personally upgraded my phone when I was 17/18 years old earring my own money they never bothered to credit check me but now they have - the confusing part of all of this is i told them i am not even the tennent of my own home and i told them i make the average salary of the normal person in the UK, I also have a credit score of 700 (i know it’s not the best but it’s good enough) the phone would’ve cost me around £2 extra a month to what i’ve already been paying for years and have never missed a payment etc. I own a credit card to show companies i am able to pay minimum payments etc and i have no debt!! what is going on can anyone explain, think this is absolutely ridiculous when i am very obviously able to pay a phone bill!! Now they want me to wait 90 days to apply again, don’t think so, as a “loyal customer” i’ll be willing to take my business elsewhere.
