Applying for a contract phone
Hi,
I have been on PAYG for a few years and now want to get a contract phone.
My credit rating isn't very good. I think I would probably get a contract phone if I enquired, but I don't want a failed credit check going on my report.
I have read that I can do a credit enquiry without a failed enquiry registering on my credit record (supposedly), but is there any way of doing an enquiry and know that any failed enquiry will NOT be displayed on my credit report???
Many thanks
