Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...

I've just found out that I failed their credit check as well (something to do with my address apparently)

I've just faxed them my driving license.

Hopefully that will do the trick!

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...

I think Rorschach was a credit referral rather than a failure, I am not taking them up on this offer out of principle, I have been an NTL customer for years that should be reference enough for them.

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...

That is what I would have thought as well, NTL have had thousands off me yet I can't be trusted with a phone for £10 a month, when I rang Virgin and pointed that out I was told sorry but there is nothing we can do.

Does anyone know the email addy of customer services at Ntl? I think I will email them and let them know how there customers are being treated, ok so it will do no good but it will make me feel better

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...

the problem is they are still in effect seperate companies that happen to be running an offer together, i know ntl use equifax credit referance agency, not sure which one virgin uses, im surprised they dont use a credit limit like ntl aswell though

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...

Well I've just failed the credit check again! AND Virgin can't tell me why!

What's worse is that I can find out by going to the Equifax website (yes Virgin use them too!) and getting a credit reference report for the princely sum of $14.95!!!!

Why in God's name don't Virgin get a credit refernce from NTL? Equifax are clearly at it and they have just cost Virgin some business.

They can shove their free phone up their ****!!!!!

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...

yep they have been bought by ntl but are still run as seperate companies, so they still use their own processes such as credit check, i assume that sometime in the future they will be integreated but not at the moment

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...

There is a announcement on the front page so hopefully this can now be sorted out.

Full marks to Mick for the work he is doing behind the scenes to sort this out

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...

I'm so tempted... virgin was cheaper than vodafone which Anton and I are on now... signal was a bit lacking sometimes.. hmm... I should resist! I probably wouldn't pass their credit check anyway, I'm surprised I got ntl at all in the first place!
