    Hi everyone,

    I hope you dont mind me joining in. Thanks to this thread i now have a Cap1 card with £500 limit and today was accepted for Vanquis with limit of £250. I also have a vivaladiva account (the same as all your JD Wlilliams) with £1500 limit. Im so chuffed as i have went years with no credit, so thanks guys!!

    Sutton, i see you have just been accepted for Grattan catalogue. I was accepted for this a few weeks back, got the cat through the door with £300 limit. All was good! Anyway, i call up and make my first order and that was fine too but received a letter a week later to say i could not have it now due to credit check. I have just left it at that but is there anything I can do?

    Kerry

    Just applied for the Flybe card. If I don't get accepted then I'm offically done with applying for cards, atleast for a good year so my credit file can recover. I'll just have to find a way to suppress my credit card addiction. :p

    Good luck :beer:. I want to get a flybe card one day...
