I think what she is referring to is being refused instore for a contract because of credit rating. Sometimes if the customers rating is too low it will ask for more information such as a second bank card - this does not guarentee an accept, but if you cannot provide it it will be a decline.

 

Sadly I think this may boil down to the fact your credit rating is too low for the contract, if this is the case you may be eligible for a sim-only deal. The sim-only deal is a 12 month contract which you can upgrade to get a phone after 6 months and (providing you dont miss any payments) helps build your credit profile with O2.

I'm not following you here, you need a bank account which provides a debit card for the regular payments.

 

If you filled in the details incorrectly you will have been refused.

That makes sense, it would help if the OP had made that clear.
