    No, no. Not always my Mum, Dad, and Brother hsd this message and they were successful. If you are successful expect a telephone call next week sometime. They will ring to tell you your credit limit APR sell you PPI and transfer some money into you account.

    If you do let us know the outcome. Good Luck Victor.
