    Keep in mind that everytime you open an account they do a credit check in your name. Thats not so good for your credit rating.......

    I asked Easymobile Customer services, via Live Chat and they say they don't do a credit check. Is it anywhere mentioned in their site, that they do a credit check?.

    Is it not illegal that they do a credit check without mentioning you when you buy from them?.

    I think not, l have opened an account in my sons name. He has no credit history and they have to inform you that a credit check is being done.

    Dont know if they have it in their T&C but I had a check on my file when I bought one a few months ago.

    Maybe cause the account can go in credit with easy mobile, apparantly it is set at £10 in credit but there was a discussion on another board that it can go £60 in credit in one call before it disconnects.

    Thanks medic1978.

    Just out of curiosity, does any other network do a credit check for Payasugo?. I think Virgin does when they set-up a direct debit for Payasugo.
