    I applied for Capital One and I got 3 green ticks, I'm not sure what that means then it said they will write to me within 7 days. :confused:

    I won't hold my breath I expect a decline because I defaulted before. :rolleyes:
    Hiya mate,

    I got the three ticks and got a decline letter a few days later....

    How old are the defaults? :confused:

    Both are 5 years old. I also have a note on one of my accounts saying I am on a DMP that I am trying to get removed with NID's help.

    When did you apply? I always think you have to buy something from them first and they just give you an account.
    Applied last September and again in October with no joy.
    Didn't attempt to buy anything apart from £3.75 for the directory.
    Wasn't on electoral roll though and my accounts, apart from bank were all recent so little history :confused:
