    So i got my Lloyds TSB Classic account with visa debit last week, did not request an OD but do you think i should now? will they do another credit search? I do have about 4 accounts with green 0's (2 bank accounts and 2 credit cards) But have 4 defaults and ccj. What do you's guys think? Should i go for it?

    If you require an o/d ask them. I do know they are normally quite good with issuing them. If you can wait a few months, you may get pre-approved for one.

    When are your defaults and ccj's from?

    Have you got a cheque guarantee card?
