Wanting to change my contact name

Anonymous
Not applicable
When I was under 16 my mum took a phone contact out for me under her name and I’m now 19 and don’t live at home and want it under my own name to build my credit score. My mum travels a lot and isn’t alway in the country, dose she need to be there when I change it over to my name?

You can only change to your name when your contract is due for upgrade or renewal.
It isn't possible to just change the name mid term unfortunately.
This is because you need to pass the credit and identity checks which can only be done with a new contract.
