I have not had this today. How long did it take for you to receive the Email??0 -
The day after the application it was. I was going to phone them that day to find out the limit as I got same message as you did at end of application but got the e-mail so didn't bother.
Perhaps phone and ask them the limit.0 -
Ok thanks.
I will see if I get anything from them tomorrow on Email. If not I will drop them a line and see if they will tell me.
Did it take long for your card to arrive?0 -

Aah right, hopefully not too much longer then!!0

Yeah but they should make up their minds as to when they are sending it out on confirmation at end of application it states within 5 working days and on e-mail it states 1o working days!!0

I was just thinking exactly the same thing actually!
It's odd that you get the confirmation Email the day after acceptance as well. I wonder if they actually carry out further checks before they really accept you in full.0 -

I dont think they carry out further checks, it would probably say that in the confirmation if they were conducting other checks, I belive you have been accepted like I was.
Let me know how you get on!0
