  • Does the limit update on the first monday of every month?
    sounds silly ive never took any notice.i will check this month.
    the good thing weve learnt is every time you change it up or down it resets for a year.
    as a matter of interest halifax,since my recent application fest,and abbey,have removed my preapproved account offer.the loan is still there.

    halifax pre approval.
    i posted the loan up,which was slightly tailored to me.
    i also had an account one.
    i still get the account one flashing up,but thats the instant log on one everyone gets like the credit card.
    or basicly before i was getting two account offers,one more personal.and when i was in my account properly
