hiya tried to get mobile pt back onto contract ( no debt at all with them) but because of credit check it was a no ( understandable) because of credit score the iva is in my name as was all the debt, would my credit score affect my husband getting a mobile on contract he has no debt? and does anyone know any company that will accept you into a contract whilst in an iva?
Your husband shouldn't have a problem, but you will unfortunately. However, I do know of one or two posters who have managed to get a contract with TMobile whilst in an IVA.

I think that T Mobile are the best ones to try. My friend is a discharged bankrupt and she was able to get a contract with them, and I know other companies wouldn't consider her.
hiya all thankyou for all your replys husband is trying to get one for me in his name but dont think its going to go through because of them asking for my details as well ( joint bank account) and it will def show up my past debt problems ahh well just have to keep at payg quite annoying really though because when i got accepted for my iva had a contract but cancelled it but never mind thanks again all
I've never been asked for my hubbys details when taking out a mobile phone contract, and we have a joint account.
If it is going to be in his name, I don't know why they want to know your finanicial details.

not sure why they asked for my details think it had showed up as joint account not sure though but they just wanted the second account holders name and said that we would know within 24hrs so will wait and c what comes back
It maybe that they just need to know whose names are on the account - I've had to give that before.

Although Happy Buddah has mentioned O2, I would be wary as having been with them on contract for many years before the IVA I tried getting the broadband and was credit checked so no broadband even though have never missed a payment with the contract phone. You could try online, maybe a different procedure they go through?
