Sorry to hear your application was declined @Jessy86
The upfront payment you made at the time of your order was only a pre-authorisation for the payment, which is held as "pending" with your bank.
As your application has not been successful we will not take the payment, so your bank/card issuer will automatically release the Pending Payment back to your account. They usually do this after 10 working days.
Our care team are unable to ask your bank to release it any quicker than their standard timescales, as this is set by your bank/card issuer only.
Hope this helps.

Hi @Jessy86
You'll need to speak to EE CS on 150 if you have no tracking number.
Thanks

Hi @Jessy86
Thank you for coming to the community.
I am very sorry you have not received an email confirming the order for the iPhone and understand how upsetting this must be for you,
Did you order the phone with an airtime plan in contract for your daughter? When did you place the order?
Speak to you soon.
Leanne.
