credit rating fail.. my own fault i think

lizloz_2

Trying to get a new phone deal which is better than the current one.

Stupidly I applied in my maiden name (divorced) which I am in the middle of transferring back to. So I have old bank accounts in my old name and new bank accounts in my maiden name. Signed up with new bank account and maiden name.

I signed up with a vodafone via CPWarehouse and failed the check after 3 days!

I dont owe a thing but the mortgage, never defaulted on anything ever , dont earn much but enough for a 17 a month contract. etc etc. However they did come back and ask if i was known as something else.

I am fairly sure the name thing is why I failed ( electoral roll under my married name) . But if there are multiple checks my credit rating goes down ( which seems a little unfair considering it should be based on actual credit/money issues!)

Do I apply to vodafone again (its a very good deal!) using all the "correct" info or do i not bother and wait for another good deal with a different operator? How long should I wait to make sure whatever failed checks they have done do not reduce my credit rating?

Thanks in advance
