Virgin Media & Credit Check

SaLoGo

I'm wanting to join Virgin Media and have just gone through their website and picked out the bundle I want. I passed the credit check with the condition that I pay a £35 deposit which will be credited to my account after 12 months, which is fine I don't mind paying a deposit.

My issue is... I haven't got £35 spare (and no one to borrow it from) until Saturday. I don't mind waiting and paying it on Saturday, but when I go through the order form again will they do a 2nd credit check? My credit score is dismal enough without an unnecessary credit check being done.

I tried to chat to them online but all the CSA would/could tell me was that I don't have to pay with a debit card and I could pay with a credit card which I don't have. I would call them to discuss it, but I don't have a landline to call their 0845 sales line and refuse to call from my mobile at 40p a minute. I've tried all the landline numbers on saynoto0870 but they just go to voicemail.

Like I said I'm happy to place the order on Saturday, but I'm worried the credit check will fail due to 2 checks being done in such a short time. Or am I worrying about nothing??

Are you near one of their shops, you may be able to do all this in person?
