Sky Mobile order cancelled

amogus

Tried to sign up for Sky Mobile today and my order was cancelled immediately, citing credit checks and giving no more detail.

Called them up and they said it was because I'd tried to follow a uSwitch link that was outdated. Put it through again over the phone, and it was cancelled again. The same reason.

As far as I can see my scores are high, no red flags etc. wondered if anyone else has had similar experiences?

Score means nothing.

It is history that counts. So do you have any missed payments recently?

Your made-up CRA "score" is just that, it is not seen by the retailer.

You should look at your full REPORT and check for anything unusual there.

If you are failing Sky's check there's nothing you can do about it.

Literally nothing, no hard searches, no judgements, no missed payments. Looked on multiple agencies and can't see anything abnormal at all.

Yeah I've checked it on a couple, can't see a single thing that sticks out as anything that might go against me.

Only guessing of course….

Maxed-out credit cards? Recently moved, not on electoral register?

Honestly nothing. Can't make sense of it.

TBH, best bet by a phone, & then just get a sim.

amogus

It was for a SIM only deal unfortunately.

Clearly Sky do not like you 🤷‍♀️
