    I meant they don't have a debit card on their basic account. It's just an ATM card.

    Sutton/Innocent - I rung my branch today and was confirmed that they issue visa debit cards for all non standard ones; i.e. non cheque cards. They only do Visa debit and existing Maestro, if I got a new Plus account my card would not be Maestro but a visa 3-in-1.

    A basic would get me a 2-in-1 visa debit with no chq/gtee and it'd be full auth..... is it therefore a branch thing or something that is going through change? Maybe SS can confirm........

    I rung HBOS today - accepted for loan - I said thanks, stick it and hung up! I don't want nowt from them let alone a ruddy loan (sober now)....... :rotfl:

    Yea, I said that they don't issue Maestro above you divvy! I know what you're saying regards cg but they do give it as standard if you pass credit score (i.e. 50+)..... you don't walways have to request it mate cos it doesn't cost much to add it after all..... does your mate have a basic or advance account? Is his a full auth card, i.e can;t use on trains/planes or tesco fuel pay at pumps...?

    Yes got offered loan, 15.9% £5k @ £250pm for 48mths.... I told em to freak orf lol :rotfl:
