Hi folks, I am in urgent need of help. I bought an IPhone as a birthday present but would like to return it (as they are dropping in price by £100 tomorrow).

I bought it from the CPW and they will only accept it back if it has failed a credit check. I cant seem to be able to fail the credit check so I was wondering if anyone else has and if they have the email they were sent telling them they failed so I can edit it and print it out and bring it in.

Obviously remove any personal details and repleace with MR X and ACC X etc...and include the FROM part of the email

MANY MANY MANY thanks in advance

G.

    Think they do a 110% price promise so should be okay, but would like this as a backup.

    Failing that, I'll maybe find a bum and sign up with his personal details and prob still pass the credit check!!!
  • I think if you just put in xxxxxx's for your credit card number you fail.

    I bout mine about 3 weeks ago from Car Phone Warehouse. Do they offer a one month price promise like amazon??

    Rumour has it that you should get a refund of the £100 if you bought in the last 30 days - they should let people know 2moro when the deal goes live.
    Wondering how to have a life & not rack up more debts...
