vodafone - not a customer but opened a new credit account on my credit file
Hello There
I am being alerted by credit expert about Vodafone opening up a new credit account on my name on 16/01/2012. This is incorrect as I am not a customer of vodafone. Initially i ordered a sim only monthly contract but has cancelled it well within the 7 days period. First time, they didn't cancelled so i called them and cancelled it and got it confirmed from the service person. She didn't gave me a call reference number but assured me that it has been cancelled.
I am really shocked. Can any one suggest how i should approach this issue?
Thanks

Get on to Vodafone and double-check that the contract has been cancelled. Ask for written confirmation.
Leave it a week and then check your credit record again.
Lastly, do your research first and don't waste companies' time by ordering and cancelling. A sim is not like a dress that didn't fit.0 -
