Internet/Landline when BR

Hi

I am currently with Virgin Media for my landline and internet but hoping to leave the house soon and go into rented pending a BR application.

I have bad credit just now as my hsuband and i have Trust Deeds.

Does anyone know of any companies who will give a phone line to a BR? Looked on the BT website and they credit check you, as do Tiscali.

Unable to just transfer Virgin Media as now cable in the new area i am going to.

Thanks
Amanda

    We got a BT line with no problem, went BR in March, signed up with BT in August.

    Hi am not bankrupt yet but did have defaults and arrears when joined BT. The only thing they did ask is a deposit up front from us of £25.00 which was no problem. So they may do that but I don't think you should have a problem.

    We left Virgin for other reasons - absolutely awful service where i live and six+ engineer visits later we decided we had enough and went to Sky. ;)
