    NID what are my chances of FD? I noticed you mentioned there not too concerned with searches?

    They are hard, as you know. I posted on the 1st direct thread for you mate - also I started my own so look for that as it explains my process step-by-step..... :confused:

    Cheers mate,

    Might forget FD and just go for another abbey account and attempt to get this auto-accept on the credit card.

    Abbey may decline me though as I have been in my O/D two months on the trot with them although my CF shows O/D£1500 balance £0

    I can't get a Halifax account. I can get a Barclays Premier Account, HSBC Plus Account, Natwest Plus Account, but Halifax wont give me a Rewards account. I get declined online due to credit scoring. Ridiculous.

    Sent off the forms the other day. I did put 'No' when it asked 'Do you want an overdraft' when applying, as from my past experience, if I say yes and do not meet the criteria for the overdraft, they decline the whole application.

    I phoned and was told it was all going through and had been accepted, they're just processing my signed paperwork. Once I get it all setup, I'll apply for an overdraft and see what they say.
