    So will they not do a search just for asking for a credit limit increase?

    Yes they can search again as you've already given your agreement to this, it will depend on the increase given.

    A request for a higher credit limit could involve another credit check, so it's important
    to consider first whether you’ve a realistic chance of getting the funds you need.

    Is Lloyds Tsb likely to more than double your credit limit? I would have thought not, but it's your choice really.
    People who don't know their rights, don't actually have those rights.

    You need to make at least £100 of purchases during the first 3 months to get a 0% rate on your Balance Transfer for 14 months.

    If you don't do this, then your 0% Balance Transfer rate will be only for 3 months.

    Bear in mind that after the first 3 months has passed, those £100 purchases will start to accrue interest.

    Hope this helps.

    It means if you don't spend £100 on the card in the first 3 months, you only get the 0% balance transfer rate for three months.
  • right the limit on the card is 1.5k, i want to transfer as much as possible off my virgin card (3k debt on this card) onto this card an get the maximum 0% BT (14 months) the handling fee for BT is 3%

    How do i go about doing with, taking into consideration i have to spend £100 or someting - im a little confused
