Accessory purchase and credit check

[Dazzevans77]

I just tried to purchase Beats earbuds online. I paid £40 fee but for some inexplicable reason the credit check failed, even though I have a high credit rating. I assume I’ll get my £40 back, has anyone else suffered this?

No rhyme or reason to O2 credit checks these days.

Your payment will be pending (not with O2) and returned to your bank account in a few days time.

The criteria for O2's Credit and Affordability checks is one of the mysteries of the world along with how did they build Stonehenge

That's less of a mystery tbh........
