    Afternoon Gang,
    Just applied for a Capital One card whilst awaiting form my decision from Vanquis, who have already done Credit Check, called and checked some details and sent me a letter requesting Identification documents which have been sent, so hoping this is good news from them...
    Anyway with regards to Capital One, I got through the application and it did the three little ticks thing with inital credit check and verification etc. Then it went to a screen saying thanks for your application, we will be in contact soon and someone may need to contact you for further details etc etc.
    So it wasn't a straight no, good news?
    Cheers! :)

    They could still decline you, but I had the same screen and they accepted me, so fingers crossed :beer:
