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 ****!!!!!

sorry atD, its not clear what your saying? , what did your file say about who placed (i assume)bad/wrong data to your file?, was it NTL:tw:virgin?.
what did you mean by 'in effect they incurred the cost' ?.

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...
I have had a letter from NTL after emailing them about the sillyness of it and the letter said that someone would be phoning me, hmm that was nearly a week ago and no one has phoned so far. So no I have not got it sorted yet

I had no bad data on my credit check, it seems to be a problem with the way credit checks are handled by the computers. what i mean by incurred cost is virgin told me my credit check failed, so i wanted to know why, it cost me 14.95 to check online, which was 14.95 i did not need to spend. hope this helps

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...
If you want a free credit check (until end of December 2006) try garlik.com
It takes a couple of days - lots of security checks, including sending an authorisation code by mail to your home address, but you get lots of info from it for free (they are doing a free launch offer)
http://www.garlik.com/
I found out about it from a BBC news webpage http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6102694.stm
This is the summary page, which has tabbed detail pages behind it - they will also find out all web references to you (it takes a couple of weeks).

No, if you fail the Virgin credit check you will still be able to get the 3 for £30 deal.

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...
yeah there are seperate credit checks run and if you fail ntl's credit check you will just be asked for an up front deposit on your account.

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...
would be nice if virgin could run with ntl / telewest and not along side.
with this name change next year all 3 companies will need to be acting as one. but i hope they bring some sweet improvments like higher broadband speeds and more tv channels on there basic package

If they actually phone you Jules , let us know how you get on.
I hadn't forgotten about this offer but wasn't prepared to let them further damage my credit rating by what's probably a fekkin' typo on their database!

Re: Good deal from virgin phone but...
Woohoo I'm in, got through on the 0800 052 0543 number and start to finish was about 30 mins.
No Lobster phones left though so they gave me a basic Nokia 1112, have to see what its like when it arrives but will probably unlock my current phone to Virgin as its got mp3 etc.
