    Wasn't sent recorded (I'm too tight :o).

    In your experience how long on average does it take to get a reply?

  • Cap 1 used to do a gauranteed card it was secured with a deposit of £200 I'm not sure if it still exists as my deposit was refunded to me and my account was then just a normal account with a limit of £200

    Hope this helps. M .
