Credit Check Problems

[Anonymous]

I went into an O2 shop yesterday and when they did the credit check they asked me for a second debit card and my drivers licence. I have a drivers licence but I only have one bank account so only have one card. They said they could get around this if I had my passport which I didn't and it's out of date. I would like to know if an expired passport will be accepted or if there is any other way to get around this issue.

You're too quick off the mark, bob. I reread your reply and deleted my response to you.

Could be worth trying to order online or by telesales instead? Unless of course you are getting an O2 Open or Student discount in which case you would have to do it in store

To be honest I think it would be a whole lot easier doing it online but I don't know if I can get a student discount then.

It looks as if the OP is posting questions using two different names.

You can't. Have to buy in store to apply the student discount. Assuming it isn't an iPhone 5S you are trying to buy on which the student discount isn't available (sadly as otherwise I'd have it on my bills too)
