Suitable proof of ownership would be documentation such as supplier contract or written confirmation from the Police showing that the IMEI is incorrectly registered as lost, stolen or barred.

Upon receipt of this information and the block removed by checkmend. We can return the mobile phone to you after an administration fee of £7.99 is paid.

If we do not receive such documentation from you within 28 days your mobile phone will be disposed of.
