Three credit check?

I have just placed an order with three for an iPhone 5 on pay monthly. They say I have not automatically passed the credit check and they will be doing a manual check which will take 24 hours. Has anybody else had this? I can't think of any reason why I would fail. My credit report is impeccable - the only thing that I can think of that might affect it is that there have been a few checks done on me recently by Halifax for my mortgage.

    Yes and yes - not really an issue, as it needs a human to look at your file. Not a biggie unless this results in a refusal, and then you need to get your file to find out why!
