Yes this happened to me a two weeks ago on my Very account. Credit limit increased from £1600 to £1900 after making a purchase. Limit was already increased to £1600 from £600 three weeks previous.

I was told by SDG that limits are reviewed every 12 weeks unless requested.
It appears that this is not the case....Bank Accounts - Barlcays Premier[/B] - £1000 o/d, HSBC - £200 o/d- First Direct - £500

What would happen if I had a twin brother, who has the same name as me, same DOB and living at the same address? How would the CRA's be able to distinguish between us both?We’ve had to remove your signature.

I would imagine they would ask for copies of your birth certificates and they put a reference to the time of your birth after your name, mine would be 20:28
Can't see too many other ways of doing it.0 -

try and find the old cat thread .i explained it all to brian.he tried it live and confirmed.
it doesnt happen from new account point.i think it starts at 3 months in.
paying in full,high or low balance doesnt affect it,you must purchase.
i think me and o/h must cancel some now as we have over 25k available accross them all.littlewoods/littlewoods direct/marshall ward/kays/greatuniversal/empire stores/addittions/grattans/next/ambrose wilson.barclay card/cap1/bos/vanquis gold/vodafone/3 .dell finance/currys finance
