o2 Mobile Contract - IPhone 3G S

Hi All,

Anyone looking for a mobile contract could try o2. I was declared bankrupt last year (May) and got ED 15th January. Applied for a IPhone 3G S today and was accepted :)

Hopefully its the first step in improving credit report

    An online order can go through but might not credit check you there and then - you might get a call in the next few days asking you to confirm some things or pay a deposit. Worth keeping an eye out for emails too.

    which credit file ( Experian, Equifax ) does o2 search when doing the credit check?
  • Just received the new IPhone this morning :)

    To answer a couple of questions:

    which credit file ( Experian, Equifax ) does o2 search when doing the credit check? - They check equifax

    Are all your credit files updated correct and have you any other credit ie credit card. - In the process of updating my credit files following my ED. But I dont have any other credit.
