  • Some providers will decline you automatically as they don't want to spend time/money on the extra checks required.

    I know banks can do that 😊 if they wanted to..

    But thought if you have Cifas cat 1 & 2 and have a very good credit history e.g no CCJs or Bankrupt etc they would accept you but just do extra checks

    saw that on Cifas website  

    So banks Mobile phone company’s etc are too lazy to extra checks & will just decline you instantly?? 

    I think that’s really stupid if they do wasn’t my fault someone used my details etc

    It's not a question of laziness but a question of policy & cost. Some might do the extra checks, others might not.

    Ooh so so basically most banks e.g Lloyds HSBC & phone company’s e.g o2 ee will do checks, 

    But some of the small companies might not due to cost etc 

    Lloyds did & will find out tomz if they accept me & due for phone upgrade soon hopefully can get the new iphone
