    Does anyone have any news on sub prime lending at the moment, i.e new cards, loans etc?
    Seems to be between Capital One and Vanquis at present, Provident being a runner up.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Congratulations!!! :beer:
    Have you received the credit agreement? Did they tell you the limit?

    As I have written in other posts, I was turned down, but appealed and was accepted.
