Was pleased to see this.

Although I had a perfect payment history I never got my $20 back from these scum.

I think TPG does the same.

  TPG's $20 deposit is different. At TPG, they use the $20 as a balance so when you make calls when aren't included in your phone plan, they'll deduct the cost from the $20 initial balance and once it reaches below $10, they'll require you to top it up again to $20.
  
  Vaya just takes $20 and hope you forget about it when you switch carriers.

Vaya and Live Connected have agreed that in future they will not require a security deposit unless an individual credit assessment has first been undertaken.

Great news, what's the process for recovering our $20 deposit now that it's no longer required?

The article says they can do security deposit if they do credit assessment on you.

So I am guessing that's what they're gonna do next. Credit assess you to keep the $20, and in the meantime, credit assessment will appear in your credit record too.

Good to hear, but do we get the money back?
