    i think it will be the instant plus you get, i believe they are getting rid of the basic account.
  • what is your current credit status mattlfc?


    My credit rating is pretty pathetic if i'm honest!

    Numerous late payments, 1 ccj for £270 (satisfied but I havent got round to getting it marked as satisfied). A couple of defaults and i'm a tenant!

    Will let you know of the outcome of my application for this account!

    Have recently been rejected for a citibank account and flybe card.

    I feel like such a child at the minute. I hate not being able to have a decent debit card, its almost embarrassing sometimes! Just requested my Credit file from both experian and equifax so hopefully I can seek some advice on what I should do to improve my credit!!

    One thing I would suggest to anyone who is struggling is do not go near welcome finance!!! they are horrible and will only renew a loan if you get in to difficulty! I recently renewed a loan but didnt sign an agreement with them so I am hoping this will have me shot of them. I know we should face our debts but I dont feel bad about skanking this cowboy operation!

    Yeah I did, They couldn't tell me what account I would be getting, and haven't had anything in the post yet either.

    Did you ever find out what sort of account you would be getting?
