    Were you accepted for the accounts? Have you received the Barclaycard? I think that all 3 of the above lenders search Equifax........

    I was automatically declined for the CC, and got the referral message on the other two.

    You may not have met the application criteria for the CC so it didn't get to credit search?? Or rather their internal credit scoring?
    Got Halifax Classic to reduce my interest rate by 5% woohoo - 10/06/08 Thanks MSE!
    Another 3% shaved off 10/12/08

    There must have been some issue then. If there is no search showing there obviously has been a problem call the lender and clarify they have searched the correct address, DOB & then call CRA's

    One would assume that he checked the criteria
