Just got an email from Apple, my loan application was cancelled. Cancelled my iPhone 12 Pro Max order too. What an absolute joke this year has been for the new iPhones. Barclays is useless, what a terrible bank, don’t recommend them at all!

Makes no sense since I was pre-approved for the loan earlier this week and it was looking like everything would go smoothly. How wrong I was. Wish I had’ve just bought it upfront or from Amazon now.

Guess nowhere on planet earth will have any left for launch now?

Did they give a reason? Pre-Approval unfortunately doesn’t mean you’re absolutely confirmed you’ll be able to get it. It just gets the early stages complete ie, checks eligibility etc. It’s not till you click that confirm order button that the loan is applied for and goes through.

There must be a reason they will not accept you.

What reason did they give for cancelling?

Thats awful !
Must admit i found the whole process quick and easy, applying to Barclays very simple and quick, ordering my phone just took a couple of clicks and went into 'preparing to ship' straight away!

I hope you get sorted...

Does EE issue eSim for pay as you go?

None of the networks do.
Apparently this is some sort of limitation.
I once read this is the handset manufacturers saying the networks can’t for some reason but none of the networks in the world do PAYG eSIM (apart from the global sim companies)

You could probably buy one from John Lewis on Friday for click and collect the next day.

I need to stop looking at pictures of that California poppy case it’s really tempting me with the blue phone 🤣

I’m not usually a bright colours guy and I’ve been going caseless for the last couple years. 10 years ago I did rock a yellow bumper with the iPhone 4 though🤔

Just that they couldn’t verify my identity, which is strange because I just recently finished the upgrade program with them.

This is the email I got:

Thanks, I will try that. What time will they go live?

 

[Broken Hope]

I received an email from Barclays outlining my payments etc so looks good in regards to finance on my end.

Just had the Baltic Blue case delivered from Amazon. Looks great.

Put my XS Max in the case for a size comparison.

Have alook at 'Nodus' the Saffron yellow looks good!

My recollection is that John Lewis don’t go live until launch day, not sure when.

Maybe someone on here who got their 12 / 12 Pro from them a couple of weeks ago can help with the specifics.

I see other people have had the text from Barclays this morning. Do I say yes or no to the question asking have I received the goods?

Say no, then it asks if you’ve had partial goods, say no to that and the it asks if you’ve had a confirmed delivery date which you can say yes to.

I'm not sure quite how true this is as this time last year I quite easily bought a '3' Hong Kong PAYG esim online for when I was visiting HK...all very quick and easy; emailed me the QR code minutes after paying online. Seem to recall another network there does PAYG esims too.

When do they actually do the credit check? As that's all the elegibilty that they need surely? They should deny at the pre approval stage if they are going to decline.

Not recommended tho. Quite ugly similar to Samsung old model phone with sleeve.

Leather sleeve Saddle brown 12 pro max available on 15th Dec. Did not aware of any other variances.

Thank you! Done it now. Was worries saying no might cancel the loan or something!! Haha

My email says it was accepted and started on the 7th, not sure when they actually did the check.

I got that email too! Looks good so far!

 

[bigup]

Used barclays finance, No text received yet. Order still says processing for the 13th.

Anyone in the same boat?

I'm pretty sure they do the check there and then when you click submit. However even the littlest things can cause things to go wrong, for example if billing and delivery addresses don't match or you miss-entered your bank account number and it appears like you're trying to use someone elses bank account
