How long does a credit check take?

[Anonymous]

I ordered a Iphone 6 last night (gone 10pm Friday night) how long does a credit check take? Also can not see the link for tracking or anything? Is that a bad sign? As I have had a contract with O2 before and only thing that is concerning me is how long i've lived at my address. Wasn't 100% sure exactly how long so guessed will this fail me also?

CCA is the consumer credit agreement for the phone plan.If it is not "signed"and sent back the order will be canceled within  72h of being placed...

The phone plan is technically a loan, and like any other loan it can be agreed in principle but if it's not signed it doesnt go ahead....

Is it not a link you click on to confirm?

it's pretend signature @Anonymous , if you open the email it will have all the terms and conditions and all that and it will ask you to click/tick that you have read it all and agree. Until they get that your phone is not being posted....

Nope, I can't see anything.

so, like @jonsie said initially its a link, but when you click on it it takes you to you CCA. Once there you will at some point be asked to accept it, when you do that it completes the "ordering" side of things.

Assuming the handset is in stock, very soon you get an email saying it has been dispatched and a tracking number.

I have the same CCA agreetment but its just a PDF file. No digital sign or link on it.

I ordered Friday & love chat told me 24 hours for credit check & I'd hear Saturday. Its now Sunday & heard & received nothing?
