Advice on possible 3three contract

Hi there, does anyone know what credit ref agency 3Three use to do a credit check,

also are they more lenient towards smaller contracts than larger ones,
for example, a £15 a month contract would be easier to get than a £40 a month contract as thier is less risk?

can someone help on this ?

    Hiya
    Nope they aren't more lenient. They use Experian (I used to work in the shop) and we tried various different things to see if it affected a persons ability to get a contract.
    Based on your credit rating, your assigned a credit limit when you sign up, most peoples is between £100-£150 and that allows you to get nearly any tariff. It's all down to your situation, but they do look upon you more favourably if you set up a direct debit.

    Hope this helps
