Just got my credit report from Equifax and have found four entries by Orange - two when I originally ordered the 3510i cashback deal, and two more about a week later when they sent me a replacement handset (as I got someone else's SIM card with the first one and they had to take it all back and send another).
Two questions really:
- Is it normal to have two checks for each contract phone application?
- Is it normal for them to check me again for the new phone/SIM despite me already having an Orange account? I think this is a little unfair as, to the best of my knowledge, this could look very bad on my credit report, and wasn't actually my fault.
I'm thinking about adding a Notice of Correction as I thought I would only have 2 searches in the past 6 months, but now actually have five (!) - however, if there is a better way (e.g. speak to Orange/CPW about it?) I will do that instead.
Many TIA for any advice, Claire
