    Vanquis said yes :beer:

    They tried to flog me all sorts on the phone, including offering me a £450 cash transfer to my bank account. I politely declined.

    Does the fact they were waving £450 at me give any clue as to what my credit limit will be?

    Have you rang Crapwest and asked them to see if a new card has been issued?

    I would imagine, if you had been declined you would of received a decline letter by now. IMO.

    Thanks guys :D

    Next step is car credit. Will be steering (see what I did there?) well clear o Welcome, will probably try Creditplus. I applied to them last year, got turned down because i didn't have 12 months work history, now I have.

    Any other suggestions or advice welcome :cool:

    It will be (or sounds like) the old Abacus design, thought it had been phased out in all honesty :confused:

    It should read "as a Valued owner you can take a payment break"

    How does that work when it comes too your credit files?
