Orange Proof of Address

[Guest Keithoms]

Hey all! Loving this forum.

Got a slight issue with the order of my SF.

I purchased online with the collect from store option with my debit card. I received my confirmation email. The instructions on that say to bring to store:

The email

The card used

and:

"You'll also need to bring along one of the following forms of identification:"

UK full or provisional driving licence ( with paper counter part)

utility bill such as your water, gas or electricity statement, a BT/cable landline telephone bill, a council tax invoice or Sky statement

credit card statement

bank or building society statement

The thing is, im 16. No privvy licence for a year, no utility bills as i do not pay them. I throw out my bank statements the day i read them and have no other statements.

What can I do about this? Do they care if I use a bill addressed to my parents (like our virgin bill)? It has my surname on it.

Thanks in advance for all advice.

Just explain the situation to them they'll be cool about it, I'm sure.

If not, go to the bank and ask them to print you off a statement?

Ahh Modmania, like your posts!

Sounds like a plan if nothing else works, the bank is in the same complex so I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem.

The problem is though, I don't think the bank would do that for you if you have no proof of ID! Worth a try though, but if all else fails - get one of you're parents to buy it!

Already paid for it as me ha! I have my card though I could take it into the bank of proof of me-ness.

Yup, card will be fine to get a statement. Good luck on getting it, you wont regret it.

Orange store I went to didn't ask for proof of address at all (although photocopied my payslip for NHS discount).

That said I specifically asked them if I needed any ID to pick the PAYG phone up and the woman said "no".

So you could be ok, I never showed any photo ID.
