  • Hi There

    A friend of mine went to a mobile phone shop called INTEK and got a contract phone with no credit check. He just needed a card like yours and passport and a letter with proof of address-preferably a bill but benefits letter is cool.
    Hope that helps.

    I think most companys will offer you a contract - if you go down to the o2 shop or vodafone shop and be honest with them - I think they will take a deposit from you (£50 I think) then when you have been paying your bills nicely for a few months the give you the deposit back.

    Mobile Companies do not offer you a contract just because you pay a deposit.It depends entirely on your credit score at time of application.They might offer you the opportunity of paying a deposit at the time of application ,if you have a low credit score,but you are still acceptable, providing you meet their criteria.

    piniguotis, what are your objectives?

    Do you want a mobile phone or do you want to improve your credit score?

    Do you want car insurance or do you want to improve your credit score?

    Why not ask your credit score questions on the appropriate board?

    Likewise car insurance questions.

    I'm with KeithP on this one.

    Are you trying to achieve immediately something which takes residents a time to obtain?
