    No, I'm not a criminal.

    Neither am I abusing you.

    I am actually trying to give you good advice based on the information you have supplied. Following the path of supplying an incorrect address to obtain credit could make things awful for you!

    And no, abuse in the Netherlands is not OK either.

    If you give a mobile number rather than a landline number I believe this can have a slight negative on your application.

    Good point, but I refuse point blank to give my home phone number to ANY company and neither will I put it on ANY form, including the re-mortgage form we completed for our existing mortgage, because I have had all the constant calls when your number gets out into the public domain before and never again. Especially important as I am a shift worker, not even my employer have my home number, if they want me it is mobile or nothing!

    Home number changed and registered with TPS and also our home number will not accept anonymous calls, now we get no hassle at all. :) I have never been refused credit because of this.

    The only calls we get on the home phone are calls we want to accept, family / friends / School etc.
