    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 so :D

    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 lol

    Chocolate Button -

    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.
