    I could refer you and that way you get a £15 credit when you spend £50. Just PM me your email address

    Thanks. I applied, but all it said was ''Thanks for applying for Next Directory. Our customer service team will look at your application and your account details will be posted to you''...?

    That's the same message I got when I applied 2 years ago. They send you a letter with your customer number. I also had to provide a proof of address

    If they accept me, will they tell me what limit I have? :)

    That's enough for me. If they don't accept me for credit, I can always just pay full on my card when I checkout I guess? :)

    Morning Everyone,

    Did you all have a great weekend??

    I have littlewoods direct with a £2000 limit, held it for nearly 4 years now; however they will not allow me to have anymore catalogues within the Shop Direct group..they say its because of 'adverse info' however it was there when they opened this account. The account has been maintained, no missed payments, no late payments..nothing :confused:
    :eek: Debts: Capitalone £0, Vanquis £220, LX Direct £1197, Mutual £1107, JD Williams £23 :eek:

    Hi Kpnut

    Do you think it's your CIFAS, which is causing the problem?

    Hi Sutton,

    Could well be although I thought they couldn't decline for that reason only.. I thought they had to do extra checks which proved that it was a risk of fraud before they could decline for that reason.

    However Sygma have said they will not remove the Cifas, however they will do reviews and remove it once they think the threat is no longer viable.
