Hi,
I have an outstanding balance on an old Orange Mobile account which I was unaware of. I know the phone number. How can I pay the balance?
Many thanks

Thanks in advance

What makes you think an old debt is preventing you from getting a mortgage?
I only ask because this would normally suggest you're looking at your credit reference file. And if there's an entry on there that is believed to be causing issues, I suspect Orange/EE will have long since sold it onto a debt-collection agency - meaning your dealings with need to be with them.

Hi Bristolian - thanks for your reply. It is a credit check issue - and I also thought any debt would have been passed to a collections agency, but I've confirmed with the credit rating agency that its still will EE. The problem seems to be that its an old Orange account and therefore not visible through EE systems. Any further advice would be much appreciated.
