Switch up credit check

Hamboi · ‎11-09-2025

Hi gang! Question for the room. Do we know if o2 do a full credit check on switch up customers?? Curious if anyone has ever failed a switch up? Lots of conflicting answers on the web!

@Hamboi

Yes they do and no one has ever reported failing on here.

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.

Nope, even I passed credit checks and I've been on benefits since I was 17.

@jonsie And that's why I'm currently in bad debt because I was always on eBay and stuff buying stuff on my card.

Isn't it just an internal check if you've been with them for more than 6-months and have a good payment history?
