More than one in three consumers face credit score problems because of their
mobile phone accounts, according to recent figures.
Checkmyfile.com analysed more than 1,000 credit files, taken at random, and
found 37% had mobile phone accounts with missed payments.
Some 34% of English consumers had mobile phone account missed payments, compared
with 36% in Wales, and 39% in Scotland.
Barry Stamp, Joint Managing Director at www.checkmyfile.com, said he was shocked
at just how many people had left themselves exposed to credit refusal in this
way.
He explained: "Missed payments on mobile phone accounts are much more serious
than most people realise.
"We find that many people are surprised to discover that their mobile phone
account appears on their credit file at all.
"Many of our customers find they have an unblemished credit file, except for
their mobile phone account."
