What you may not know, is that when you go on Refresh, O2 do 2 credit searches on you, one for the airtime and one for a "Loan" for your phone. 100 points from my rating. The girl in the shop told me that as I was an exisiting customer upgrading early, there would be no credit search at all.

Points in a credit rating mean nothing, each application is done on an individual basis and have no effect on any rating.

 

Multiple applications within a short period can cause problems.

Yes, all new contracts are credit checked but not upgrades usually.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

You only get credit checked when you are applying for a contract, you won't be checked for upgrades
