Ah, that makes sense, as I had to agree to a loan contract to get this phone too.
However, I wasn't credit checked, or at least the operator on the phone when I upgraded glossed over it as I was only asked to confirm that I could afford the contract, that was it.
I would say to phone VM to ask if they could override the credit check based on your long standing account but I suspect I know the answer. I really hate these checks when they fail you despite a current contract that you're clearly paying with no problem! Computer says no should not be the be all when it comes to this sort of thing.
