Hi,
Just adding my two cents to those who have also failed an O2 credit check recently for reasons beyond them.
Recently went to upgrade my 24 month contract (£61 a month) to a new contract for 36 months (£63 a month). Failed initial credit check.
Emailed the credit referrals team and spoke to them on the phone and they could only tell me the same spiel about 'business practices' without any other information.
My Equifax score is regarded as excellent, all information up to date ans accurate on my credit record and no missed payments ever.
Went on the EE website and found the same contract, same phone, same price and signed up with them (they also use Equifax for their credit checks).
So weird that O2 seem to have these vague rules that nobody knows and they are doing nothing to try and rectify. They've just lost another customer.
My advice to anyone else is if you have failed a check with O2 and it seems weird, just go elsewhere.
