Hi
Just wondering if I should try and get a pay monthly contract mobile phone to help rebuild my credit. I am in the process of cleaning up my credit files but only recieved early discharge on 27th Feb :j so not very far forward. I also have ccjs listed and am aware these may cause problems.
What do you all think do I stand any chance with any particular company or should I just wait longer. I already have a mobile in husbands name (he has a pay as you go) but ideally wanted one in my name so can help rebuild credit and would give my husband his phone back lol
. His pay as you go is just a cheap phone so not really losing anything.
thanks in advance for any advice

Hi,
Maybe go for a SIM only deal at first - it still gives you the green ticks on the credit report!
I had an O2 PAYG just before BR and upgraded to SIM only while still undischarged and they've since invited me to go for a full package so it's definitely possible!"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't -- you're right" - Henry Ford0 -
I got a monthly contract with phone from Virgin Mobile one month after discharge.:pB&SC No. 298
