Changing to Virgin Mefia if on a DMP, will there be a credit check?

Am on a DMP for last 6 months and still looking at ways for trimmimg back the SOA. Virgin Media do a free TV channels deal if you take a phone line from them. This wouldn't cost anymore than we currently pay BT for line rental but would save us paying out for SKY. Because of where we live we cannot use a Freeview box and aeriel viewing is v bad because of lots of hills surrounding us means no signal. However I know that I have got defaults in last few months since starting DMP and wonder if I am likely to get turned down by Virgin Media because of the credit check. Anyone else had this?
Thanks.

    When i took up my deal with virgin I had a problem with them and whether they would come to my house but it ended that they did a credit check on me twice and then refused to give me a deal until i was able to explain that they had performed both checks.
    So basically you could have some problems with them
  • I am on a DMP, and I got VM ok.
    Good luck!
