Broadband Deals with No Credit Check

Can I get broadband with no credit check?

Yes, absolutely. 

Some companies will check your credit rating before accepting you as a customer, but you won’t be subject to a rigorous check like when applying for a mortgage or a loan. So even if you have a poor history, you should be able to find a bad credit broadband package out there for you. 

Some providers offer broadband without a credit check at all. If you are really worried about your credit rating it may be best to go straight to one of these. 

Which providers offer broadband with no credit check?

Plusnet and NOW Broadband both offer broadband without checking your credit score.

If you opt for Plusnet you can get a broadband contract for 12 or even 18 months without needing a credit check. Plusnet is also highly rated as one of the UKs best broadband providers for its customer service. 

NOW TV offers fibre broadband without a credit check. All you need to set up a broadband connection with NOW TV is 10p in your bank account so they can check your bank card is valid, and your connection will be up and running. 

Both providers offer excellent broadband deals, so don't be put off by their policy to not run a credit check on new applicants.

What if my broadband provider needs a credit check?

If you are set on a big broadband company, such as TalkTalk, Sky Broadband, BT or Virgin Media then you will have to go through a credit check. Don’t worry though, as this will be far less stringent than credit checks for mortgages or loans.

TalkTalk is the most likely household-name broadband provider to accept customers with bad credit. BT and Virgin Media will usually ask you for a deposit which they can use to pay your bills if you are unable to do so.

If you are unsuccessful in getting a deal with one of these providers, you can always head to one that doesn’t run a credit check at all.

If you are unsure where to start it is a good idea to look at cheap broadband deals; the cheaper the deal, the better your chance of being accepted with bad credit.
