When taking out credit in-store with CIFAS

Hi,
I have a Victim of Impersonation marker on my credit file and when I take out anything on credit it normally gets referred. What happens when I try and take something out in-store though? Like a mobile phone contract? Does that get referred too?

Obviously I'll have ID and everything with me in a store.

    What so I'll have to go into store? go home and wait for the refer to come back and then go back to store?

    Depends how long it takes. Go into store M-F 9-5 not weekends, evenings, BHs etc so that the referrals dept is fully staffed.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.
