Undesirable

Has anyone ever had a credit check come back and basically say "no"? There's no amount of money you can pay us to give you service, we don't want you, etc. Usually it's like Class B $0, or Class D $500, but this just says "Undesirable". I had three already this month. And no, I don't even work in the ghetto.

I haven't ever had the word undesirable come up, but I have had "call credit" come up and had them tell me that either the customer pay thousands of dollars in defaulted bills in order to get re-evaluated, or just say, nope, nobody's going to get a phone today.

If the word "Undesirable" showed up on my screen I'd probably burst out into uncontrollable laughter and have to apologize or something.

How did you keep a straight face on that?

It's rough. Especially since you kinda have to look at them and tell them, so...thanks, but no thanks.

I get AR (Analyst Review) statuses all the time and usually it's an account in collections or a typo.

I have never had a 'no', but my co-worker had a $999,999 once. It came back on a guy using his tax ID that he claimed he just bought from this other guy a month prior. We assume it was a fake tax ID because when we called credit and activations to see if we could get it waived or lowered they said no, and laughed.

Closest I've seen is with Verizon where they require a 1K deposit. Usually at that point I'd sell 'em on Sprint, where they would get a $150 deposit.

It's not saying no, but it's making it very fincially unpractical go to with Verizon.

I'm guessing somewhere, someone has paid a $1,000 deposit and somehow ran up a $2,000 legit bill and bailed.

This is why we have undesirables.
