When it was changed to £1000, they did a hard credit search as well ..
did you ask for increase or did they just do it and do a search? I;d be mad if they just searched me then wrote and said sorry (even though I never asked)

ok mate time to apply for barclaycard then as they use Equifax and 6 searches is fine (remember they dont have to drop off mate) - they can be 7 months old which means that when someone searches you, in the last 6 months it would only count back 6 months - i.e. in Jan you do 20 searches and then nothing til March when you do 5. Come July the ones from jan are discounted and therefore you have 5 searches to your name even though the credit agencies show you as having 25.
they only count back the last 6mth from application date. 2010 - year of the troll
