DRO & mobile phone

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has renewed their mobile phone contract while on a DRO?

I am confused as to whether this would count as taking out credit - I know you have to stay within £500 while in the 12 months!

Any advice would be appreciated! :)

    I'm pretty sure I just renewed mine at previous cost, which I'd gotten down to a good rate the last time around. Renewed Feb '14, DRO finished Sep '14 - Will renew again in Jan/Feb '16 and try for a better deal then.
