Broadband Credit Search Criteria
I noticed that Broadband services now require a credit check, even the ones for social tariffs. I called two companies to find out more, they were only able to say it was binary, you pass or don't pass. Can anyone please tell me if there is a specific score or how would the check be calculated?
