So would I.
When I applied back in August I rang up a few hours later and they told me I had been declined. Lol
I rang up straight after my application and was told underwriting was looking at it.
They then told me I was declined - I applied and won ( In writing ) No card came 2 weeks later. Called up and was told I was declined. In the end I told them to remove the search and forget the application. They did soBank Accounts - Barlcays Premier[/B] - £1000 o/d, HSBC - £200 o/d- First Direct - £500

Hi Ladies and Gents
Barclaycard have increased my limit by £400.00 pounds today:T
I opened the account 6 months ago:
APR 19.9%
Limit £750.00
6 months on:
APR 14.9%
Limit £1150.000 -
Well done, what type of Barclaycard is it?
Cheers mate, It's a Platinum.
I was in my branch today trying to increase my Barclays overdraft, but I have only had the account for 2 months they said not at the moment.
But we can see you opened your barclaycard 6 months ago and are running your account well so we will increase that by £400.00.
I was told to come back in a month and they would increase my Overdraft to £1000.00 once my 3 month internal credit score is calculated.
It all comes in handy when you have a new born baby draining all the resources lol0 -

No problem.
P.S Your searches will drop off after 12 months on Experian or 2 years with Equifax. Most lenders look at searches over the last 6 months.0 -
