    On the road to more Greeno's on the credit file.

    Thanks Guys!

    Well done, that CL will soon double then triple.....

    The limit may disappear and appear again tomorrow if you are formally accepted

    I had to log out and then log back in to get my account set up properly.
    I also heard on the grapevine that if you add a payment card and it goes to underwriters they are more likely to accept you

    Oh good, I opened it in the hope I could order a PS3 and pay for it in 4 installments.

    It makes more sense to buy a PS3 than a blu ray player and our PS2 has just died so a replacement is needed!

    How long do they take to increase?

    Jacamo seems a little limited in range, can Jacamo customers use their accounts on all JD williams brands?
