    If you do try again, apply for catalogue first before account.. should hoefully pre-authorise an amount to spend.. Sutton told me to do it this way and I got Empire and Littlewoods direct without a hitch after being rejected in the past :j

    It went like this - no !!!!!! mate even my mrs was like !!!!!!!!

    phone call (abbreviated version)

    N-i-D - I just applied and got declined. I'm shocked being I have other accounts and run them perfectly well. Can you look into this please?

    FREEMANS - Of course. Blah Blah Blah

    N-i-D - So can I have an account or what? I am busy!

    FREEMANS - Ok Mr XXXX, please bear with me

    N-i-D - Ok. 2mins max.

    2 mins pass I hang up.

    Check emails and get email with limit etc..... hahah

    I telephoned Grattan, who belong to Freemans and they told me to write in and ask because they could discuss it over the telephone. :confused:

    BTW I know Great Universal is part of SDG I was simply saying that I applied and I was successful in getting one. :)
