iphone 4 orange...

just got back from "3" mobile phone shop. told the woman in there that i might have trouble getting a contract cos orange denied me last week...
she said orange are messing everyones credit rating up by denying nearly everyone that tries to open a new contract to get the iphone 4... she said theyre knocking back people living in certain areas. even if you got a good rating they wont let you get credit for the contract if you live in one of these certain areas....
she said i was the third person today(!) thats said they were turned away from orange...

that aint good...

    To have a dig at her competitors?

    Why on earth would Orange turn away customers for what is probably one of their biggest money makers ever just because they lived in a certain area?

    She was talking nonsense - there's no way she could know why Orange are declining certain individuals unless she wrote their credit scoring system herself.

    Exactly, complete rubbish.

    Gullible people fall for this talk.

    My reply was reality. If you fall for sales talk like that then it is because you are gullible, how could you ever be refused credit because you live in a certain area? Exactly.

    Your post was abuse which is why it was reported. It is the level people normally stoop to once they have been found out and don't like it.

    Maybe you will grow up one day.

    That and she was being slanderous and should Orange catch wind of her having said this she'd be in for one hell of a lawsuit!

    Utter garbage spouted by a naive, low brow, know-nothing sales jockey to coax the impressionable into the network she [STRIKE]works for[/STRIKE] earns commission from.
