Assessing Your Creditworthiness

 

When you’re looking to get a new mobile phone, the provider is going to take a close look at your credit history. This is how they work out the best way to work with you as a customer. If your credit is in good shape, they may be more open to offering you a contract with some flexibility when it comes to payments. But if there are any issues in your credit file, they might want to play it a bit safer and go with a more structured payment plan or not offer you a contract at all. It will be all about protecting their business interests.
