Refused credit from Carphone Warehouse

Both myself and my Husband have been refused credit with Carphone Warehouse online, no reason given but to either contact Experian (which I have) or Vodafone. My credit score with Experian is 999, has anyone else ever had this for no apparent reason? How long shall I leave it before applying again?

    You do know your score has no bearing on you getting accepted ?

    Maybe you should watch Martins latest episode on Itv, catch it on Itv+1 channel at 9pm or in the catch up service.

    They aren't entitled to accept you as a customer ?

    Your credit score is meaningless.

    What appears on your credit files? Any obvious issues?

    If not, you may simply not meet their criteria.
  • Credit history is fine as is my Husbands, no reason why
  • No issues with credit before and nothing on credit report. We are already a customer with Vodafone and have been for nearly 20 years,they cant match the deal but Carphone warehouse do not want us!
