    Evening all!

    Helllllooooo IA, nice to see you back, happy anniversary to you both....

    I applied on spec for an Alliance & Leicester current account thru Quidco, and i ticked a box to get salary paid in and transfer direct debits... I've been accepted for an account, with no overdraft facility (unless i have one on my existing account, in which case they will match it).

    The thing is i don't really want to transfer everything to it, as there isn't an A&L in my town, so i couldn't bank cheques n stuff.

    It was £50 for opening account, and £50 for the switchy part... do you think i could just have the new account....

    I was only chancing my arm really, i didn't think it would say yes... does this mean my credit rating is on the mend?!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Maz, is it the one where you have to put 500 in each month or just a standard one?
