New phone contract

Hi, Just wondered if anyone can help....
My husband has just applied online for a new phone,and they have gone thru the checkout and arranged delivery on Wednesday, however I'm slightly worried as it says about passin a credit check.
Now Hubbys credit score is fine, he pays everything on time, has always paid his other mobile phone bills on time, not behind with anything, BUT mine is not great, and i worry they'll refuse him because of mine,thru association?

Anyone know how they work on mobile phone credit checks???

    he'll be fine

    the vast majority of the score is related to the individual and not spouse. Unless you've been declared bankrupt or something it shouldnt matter and even then I would still think he'll pass.

    and even if he did fail, you can appeal and then quite often they approve.
