    Yes, correct.

    Twelve payments, so you will have to wait for your 13th statement.

    Maybe he doesn't use it, he has a Ulster credit card, so he probably uses that before he would use Vanquis.

    If he doesn't use the card they aren't going to increase the limit, there would be not much point.

    Proliant or Cif would be able to answer that question more precisely.

    Both Proliant and Cif had to appeal as they both got declined. They both got there cards with a £500 limit after appealing. HTH

    Ulster is part of the RBS stable. They normally give you an immediate decision. If declined appeal with 3 months' bank statements
