I am a VM customer. I wanted to order 3 new SIM cards for my children whose current SIM only contracts are coming to an end with another provider. I inquired about credit checks and I was informed that each SIM card would be hard credit checked. VM intends to credit check for the first £8, and then credit check again for the next £8, and finally credit check again for the third £8. These would all be hard credit checks. Surely, this is an abuse of the credit checking process. Why can't VM process all the three cards together, given that the same name, address and payment details will apply to all, and then do one credit check at the end? Why do three credit checks when only one can suffice? What do community members think about this policy?
