    You have you apply for a separate account with Barclays, which will be declined! :(

    HSBC, mmmm, I'll apply online to spare the embarrassment of a decline! :o

    sutton when i went into hsbc and spoke to personal banker they looked at it and told me when to apply and i would get accepted.and not to apply then.no search,becuase i had my cra's on me.
    nice people,no enbarrassment

    i sound like a broken record banging on about halifax.however i do know how they can be.at the time my o/h credit filesmust have been very poor.
    my guess would be ,open current account and loan offer would come within 3 months.
    goodluck if you go for it.
