Free UK mobiles no credit check bad credit history

If you have a bad credit history you may find it difficult to locate a company that is willing to sell you a mobile phone contract. Most mobile phone companies in the UK run credit checks when you are looking to sign a contract with their service. They want to see what your credit score is. A credit score helps them determine whether or not you are going to be a high-risk customer. So what can you do if you need a mobile phone but can't get one because of your poor credit score? There are two options that might meet your needs. You may even be able to get a great phone like a Nokia, Samsung, LG, Blackberry, Motorola, Sagem, Storm or a Sony Ericsson.

And what are the options available to someone with a bad credit history? One option is to find a mobile phone company who is willing to sign you up for a low credit score contract. If your credit score is bad but not horrid, you may be able to find a  company that can find you a fairly good deal, even with your bad credit history. This would be the first option to look into when shopping for a mobile phone. Often times, it is the less pricey of the two. Just remember that having a bad credit history makes it a lot harder to find affordable deals. More than likely, you will end up paying a lot more for a phone and phone service than people who have a credit score that is significantly higher.

Another option is finding a mobile phone store that will do a no-credit check contract. If you have horrible credit and an extremely low credit score, this may be your only option and your best one, as well. However, because of your bad credit history and low credit score you will probably be paying astronomically high fees for texting and service. Make sure when shopping around for a contract that you read all of the fine print. Some mobile phone companies are sticklers about their contracts, especially with people who have credit scores that are significantly lower than the rest of the population.

Both of these options can be a good choice for someone who has a bad credit history. Just remember that these mobile phone contracts will affect your credit score positively or negatively depending on if you pay weekly or monthly in a timely manner. A great way to pay your bill each week or month is to use a debit card from your checking account. If you find yourself forgetting to make timely payments then a direct debit may be a better option. A direct debit allows the lender to take money from your secure account on a predetermined date. Whichever option you chose, just remember that paying your bill on time is a stepping-stone to a better credit score.

In these tough economic times, maybe you have found yourself with a bad credit history after a bankruptcy, a default, insolvency or CCJ. No matter what the reason, find comfort in the fact that you can still find mobile phone companies who are willing to work with people who have a bad credit history and low credit scores. Having bad credit doesn't mean you can't enjoy having a good phone.
