    Ohhhhh lucky you!!!:money:

    I am having nothing but mither with Next.
    Hubby got an initial limit of £300
    That was the reduced to £250
    That was then reduced to £175:mad:

    We have just made our 3rd ON TIME payment and it say's when I log in online that we have £0 left to spend.
    I have emailed customer services which have confirmed that I do £xx.xx to spend but it STILL not showing on the screen. So we don't really know where we are at with them:mad:

    Sounds familiar to me... my initial limit was £150 and then was reduced to £90. Now it shows online as £0.00 but both statements and CS say I have £100.

    Cheers mate,

    Yes this was an ongoing issue. The last I heard from them was the the incorrect links were suppressed and that they would remove the incorrect default......

    I have only found out again as I checked my CR on annualcreditreport and saw it on there!

    I wondered why Barclaycards pre-application checker said they could offer me nothing!

    I will no have to sign up to callcredit again in order to contact them :mad:
    Its something stupid like £12 a month aswell!


    Hi Innocent, It's £12 a quarter!!! I signed up with Callcredit and on there are 2 defaults with the wrong dates (Barclaycard) and not even on the address I defaulted at, flaming pain getting it all sorted again.

    Thanks for that, I will have to cough up to get it corrected I suppose.

    Hello all :hello:

    Applied for Virgin card two weeks ago, no reply though, I guess I'm not worth a stamp :rotfl:

    Default dropped off file about three weeks ago... I was a bit impatient in applying I think. :o So dare not apply for anything for the next twelve months.

    Have 8k limit with a 1k balance with Littlewoods also. Could this be too high a limit?
  • Have 8k limit with a 1k balance with Littlewoods also. Could this be too high a limit?

    When I applied to MBNA last year it was referred and I had to call , anyway they said my problem at the time was , I had a limit of £4k with next and £3k with addtions and £4k with littlewoods.

  • Abbey complaints rung me today, told me that they cannot over turn the decsion for the CC decline. They offered compo of £50! I kindly told them where to stuff it and I suggest they esculate the matter again.

    They will APPARANTLY call me back once they have tried to overturn again.

    I find it funny that I can't have a £250 credit card but can have a £2.5k overdraft
