    Hmmm, thing is though it is a start and to be honest, give it a few months and when you get rid of late payment markers etc you'll find this will go up. :beer:

    Well done though - debenhams won't give me a card LOL

    I thought Vif said Halifaz do not offer products to those with

    1) A decline within the last 30days
    2) More that 14 searches in a year.

    Don't know how they can check a decline however I am sure they must be able to see your millions of searches....:cool:

    Fellow MSE's

    I need some advice.

    I am on my SOS however have seem something I want to order from SDG.
    It is £100 cheaper in Very however I don't have an account with them.

    Should I use a search and risk a decline even though i am SOS?

    What do you think.

    Thanks
