Sky Mobile Contract Refusal

[FIXIT-63]

• I have been with Sky for over a year with a Sky TV and broadband Packages, but Tonight I applied for a Mobile Phone Contract and was refused even though they take my Money every month without fail, so I have been told to make a Complaint.

Who told you to make a complaint? Being a customer already for TV and broadband is irrelevant when trying to obtain something on credit. 

It’s possible you may have failed one of the required credit check(s). For a sim deal it’s just a soft credit check, for a device there’s also an enhanced check. See this link for Skys guidance ~

Be aware that if you keep trying to order the device this could further impact your credit score. If you contact Sky they would be able to confirm that’s the reason your order was cancelled but not why you failed the credit check in the first place as they are not allowed to view your credit record. You would have to sign up to a credit reference agency like Experian or Equifax, which would give you access to your credit record.

Also perhaps check that Sky have the correct spelling of your name.

Any upfront payment you’ve made should be refunded after about 14 days but recent posts suggest it’s taking a bit longer in which case you’ll need to contact Sky to chase it up.
