Credit check

[Anonymous]

Hiya can i just ask how they did a credit check as im not sure whether mine was dodgy or not?

@Anonymous We don't know what criteria O2 use for credit checks. They will just offer you a contract  or refuse it.

You could be checking your score via sites such as Experian or Clearscore...

Have you had your "Welcome to O2" emails?

Sorry i dont think i explained myself i meant what did they ask for in order to do a credit check as i got asked for my card details including my security code has this happened to anyone else ?

[MI5 · Accepted solution]

Yes you get credit checked and yes they need your card details to set up a direct debit to pay your bills.

Did you ring O2 to place the order?

If you were speaking to O2 and placing an order, this is routine. The same procedure was carried out for me when I started my contract.

I think they use your credit/debit card as verification of indentity.
