    So it seems like it may be worthwhile applying.

    Thanks

    HFC searched Experian for me in October last year, got rejected but didn't have much history showing then. Now it might be a different story.:confused:

    Yes was looking for a new laptop. Do you not reccomend it then? My current laptop is only 18 months old but am fed up with it....

    Just checked my Equifax, definitely no search on there so unless they have changed it's Experian.
    I have 3 old defaults on file, 4-5 years old but now lots of well run accounts so may be different now :j

    Why not try Littlewoods then, good choice, reasonable payments and search Equifax. Bit dearer than the big stores but not that much taking into account the payment terms.
    Just a thought :beer:
    Plus its more green zero's
