    Come on Capital One.....

    My 4th statement should have been produced today, so I'm anxiously waiting and checking my online account to see if my limit has been increased :o.

    So my limit has finally been increased. I have been spending about £200-£300 a month and have surprisingly had my limit increased to £200 from the initally £100.

    To be honest if I didn't need this card to improve my credit file I'd get rid, as I aint too please at the moment.

    If you mean an Enhanced CRB check, no worries, they don't check you banking details ;) Unless you have a fraud related criminal record that is, then worry :p

    You spent £200-300 a month on a card with a £100 limit?
