    Experian and the are pretty ok for sub prime

    They increase every 3rd or 4th statement aswell.

    You with no searches and no adverse WILL get that card 99%

    I got an instant decision when I applied in 2007 with a starting limit of £350. My limit now stands at £1700. Never missed a payment and always pay off more than minimum.

    They will only search both CRA's if there is something missing on your Experian file for example you are not on ER on Experian but they will do a follow up enquiry on Equifax to verify this. That is just 1 of many possabilitys

    Once again the default could have triggerd this. I have applied twice and both times only searches on Experian.

    I've applied for an aqua card yesterday - it said approved in principle then i had to fill out a form and have to wait up to 10 working days. I'm not on the ER. I couldn't apply for Vanquis as don't have landline. I've also tried to get my credit file from Experian but can't get it as there's a problem with my address - i'm not holding out much hope for the card.
