    Got turned down for the mainstream CC I applied for. Guess I was over-reaching :p

    Not sure if it is worth trying to get them to reconsider (they mentioned things to include) as I have pretty hefty savings that should prove that I am good with money!

    I'm going into town in a little while, so going to pop into HSBC and see if they can override the overdraft decline. I'll let you all know how it goes later. :)

    I'm back! And with good news! :D

    I have managed my finances, and paid off all my sub credit cards and removed them all - with the exception of my halifax pink card which I happen to like :D

    I have just been accepted for an Amex green card - so happy!
