    I applied back in 2007 and was declined. I sent in an appeal letter and got one back asking for 3 months of bank statements. I duly sent them of and a few weeks later a shiny brown Visa card dropped through my letterbox.

    He said it will cost only £2 for CRA's but I have been reading around and alot of people send £10 to Experian and Equifax. So before you send it double check the correct fee.

    Yeah I will do. I need to confirm all of the addresses. I think they are on the sub prime thread around page 140 so I'm going to have another look, confirm and send them all recorded delivery

    Do you mind if I ask how you run your account?

    * Use of card
    * Cash withdrawals??

    I think the up your limit depending on your behavior score i.e how you use the card

    Hi

    I only use the card for a couple of small purchases per month. Never use for cash withdrawls as interest is charged from day of withdrawl and at 41% would be quite high.
