    Hey guys, I applied for that three iphone offer today that has been advertised so much recently. They put my application thru in the shop and it came back as declined...not happy :(

    Apparently they check your credit rating or something before they confirm the contract. But I've never even had a loan, no over draft, not even a credit card. I've been working in the same place for the best part of 2 years and have a solid income from it.

    Does anybody know why this would have happened?

    Thanks :mad:

    It's not a credit check, it's a credit score.
    It's done entirely on the information you submit to them there and then in the shop.

    You're not the only one to have been declined though, quite a few people have reported being declined both on the Talk to Three forum and the Bargain Alerts thread about it.

    Maybe [send them a PM] and see can they indicate to you why you were declined?

    No loans, credit cards etc means no credit score!

    There are many reasons you could be declined

    1) Random!
    2) If renting, there may have been a bad debt from that address
    3) Your occupation might be a high risk category

    I wouldn't take it personally, but I would imagine that their credit vetting is a lot tougher on that iPhone offer, for obvious reasons.
