in Bankruptcy & living with it
Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help me.
I'm moving house and want to get virgin media installed.
I'm 21 days away from being discharged and wondered if i will
have any problems getting a contract with them?
Would i have to pay a deposit?

If anyone has any info that would be great :)

Cheers

    It will depend on their credit checking whether you will pass or not. Even when you are discharged your credit file is mush for 6 years so will not make any difference being discharged in 21 days (although congrats for being free!)
    Best thing to do is call up and go through the process and see what happens.

    Even if you fail the credit check you might be able to pay a few months in advance or pay a deposit or something :)
    :hello:
    Save a little money each month and at the end of the year you’ll be surprised at how little you have.
