    Anyway - got a letter today from Ulster, what I thought would be the PIN, saying I don't meet their criteria and a decline LOL (now there is a surprise)....

    It says that it was due to info on my experian file - LOL - again, no real surprise.....

    Cif, is this what you got or was your different? It does say in last para that I can appeal by sending in info but not really worth it cos I do have several hundred searches against me so they have got a point!

    LOL, This was like 5 days ago??? I told you about it. It said thanks for your application you will recieve a CCA in x amount of days please sign it and return blah blah blah

    Ahh right so in 2-3 weeks you'll get a little envelope (the long slim ones) with a single page saying sorry, you do not meet our criteria - it will be from underwriting with a code like NEW003 or summat similar..... they never sent the ruddy CCA - not to us sub-primers anyway!

    Appeal it is my man :-)

    Debenhams clerk ( I know he properly doesn't have a clue ) but he advised that he can run through the app however GE / Santander don't like upgrading gold store card customers that use there card regulally as they are earning good money from them

    Mine did not say it was due to my file. It just stated that my score was too low.

    You could possibly get that overturned. Score can be overturned usually with 3 month bank statements
