Vodafone Refused my Co Credit

As per title,

is the only way to get to the bottom of this to pay Experian £99?

Have you not been trading long? Some suppliers are more wary of new start-ups because of the whole limited liability aspect of a company.

Can you get a contract in your personal name, then get it transferred into the company name?

Thanks for the response Clare,

I've been trading since 2002. They refused the transfer from a personal account to a company account.

Leave and take your number with you. I setup a business account with T-Mobile after a year of trading, and ported my number over from a 3 personal number with no problem.

I'd love to but I only get Vodafone reception at home, which is where I'm likely to be when customer calls for support.

I recently transferred my personal contract to Myco with Vodafone and had no problems. My co has only been trading since April last year too. I dont know why they may block it with you? How long have you had your personal contract with them? I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

Then unfortunately if you can't port your number vodafone can hold you to ransom.

BTW This is more expensive but have you looked at getting another number which you can forward to your landline or mobile phone?

I've also transferred my Vodafone personal phone to the MyCo without too much trouble. Filled the forms in and faxed them off. After a week or so it got transferred over.

I'd only being trading for a couple of months when I did the transfer.

Have you tried talking to the Transfer of Ownership team at Vodafone to find out why they won't give your company credit?

When I first set up my business, O2 would only open a business account if I paid a deposit. The deposit was reasonable, and credited to my account after 6 months.

Nah, that would be too easy. I think the original poster would rather come on here moaning about and expecting advice from people who have no idea about what the full circumstances are.
