Post DRO, getting insurance & broadband

miss_mojo

I am 2 years into my DRO and am starting to rebuild my credit. Ive have found that i can still pay my car insurance monthly and am not charged a higher rate of interest through the lending company. However i want to apply for broadband as i currently have Pay as You go, has anyone had any problems applying for NEW broadband or a phoneline?? I know the companies run a check. what about contents insurance??

Have found barclays to be the most helpful bank of all offering access to all accounts and even a buffer and overdraft facility, amazing as santander upgraded me from basic to current but then wouldnt offer me anything else after 2 years with them, not even another current account.

Thanks in advance guys

2 years into a dro? Or Do you mean your dro ended a year ago?

I'm still in my dro so can't answer the post parts but wondering how you can be 2 years into it?
