  • It`s taken when your credit score is not strong,

    It`s only normally held for 6 months, And is credited back into your mobile account and not your bank account so make sure if you want it returned, To call after 6 months and ask them to refund it directly into your nominated bank account
  • Ah right I see ...

    I thought it would be something like that, but not entirely sure. Why do they need it then? Is it incase I take the phone and run so to speak?
  • guessing it means nothing then lol
  • It`s just to offset the risks of taking on customers they would`nt normally accept i suppose,

    It`s not a major problem as long as there are no hitches getting it returned,
    As long as payments are upto date the refund should`nt be a problem
  • It is for the length of the contract. So I must not forget about that!!!

    Thank-you MrRincewind I thought this was a lost cause!!!
