If you've not already, it would be worthwhile your daughter obtaining a free copy of her statutory credit report from the 3 main credit agencies. This would ensure there's nothing untoward on there, and is a sensible periodic check in any case.

@rabl Just to point out any discount you get for having that line on your account will be removed if/when your daughter takes ownership of that contract. There will be a discount between 10-20%.
