Kiora, I can't remember, did you have any un-satisfied defaults?
I really hope you get the card.0 -
I am not sure how that would impact on your score, to some lenders it may look like you are being pro-active in managing your credit, to others it may look like you are limiting your exposure to debt.
I would say a couple of settled accounts could only help you tbh.
Thanks. I think I will keep it until June so I have 12 green zeros
And then I will review all my cards and the ones with the highest APRs will go. 0 -
Did they check Experian?Mr P applied on the BOI site direct funny thing is just checked equifax and they did a credit search yesterdaySince when has the world of computer software design been about what people want?

I actually had a conversation with BOI today as I opened a basic account with them. They wanted me to apply for their Moneyback card and I asked about the application process. If you apply online they credit check you and if accepted send out the agreement to sign. If I was to do it in branch I would have filled in the paper form they would send off and then credit check me.Mr P applied on the BOI site direct funny thing is just checked equifax and they did a credit search yesterday
I declined their invitation to apply.0 -
