Having Virgin services

Hi
we completed on a house last week
and we have set up Virgin to install. It will be in my partners name and they ran a credit check which was fine. Now I know you shouldn’t get too much credit initially and we have that and don’t think anything else has performed a credit check.

I am trying not to spend on my credit card and pay it down.
Am I doing ok. I don’t want the mortgage to be removed

Your mortgage won't be removed for wanting broadband and to watch TV.
It'll be removed once you haven't paid the mortgage for a few months and they've repossessed and sold the house.
Everything is fine.1 -
Credit checks are carried out for all sorts of utility accounts... I wouldn't worry.

Thanks just I know people often want to get things on credit like sofas and cards to pay for items and get told not to.Mortgage free wannabe
