    Is it worth appealing against a decline for Littlewoods and Empire if there are late payments on my file? Empire didn't even credit check me, just said they cannot offer me a book :confused:

    Thanks for the advice NID, i've decided to leave it. I'll give it 6 months and save my money:beer:.

    Digital and Rose you've nothing to lose by appealing a decline, because i've just had my GU decline reversed! :j

    I called the council and they confirmed i'm on the electrol roll. So, i got the freephone number for GU off saynoto0870 and was put through various depts. Kept being transfered to different people but i was polite to everyone i spoke to :D.

    Explained i'm on the electoral register and that i had never had an account with them previously (even though they insisted to the contrary). After much questioning from me, they realised that a previous homeowner had ordered the catalogue :rolleyes:.

    Anyway, i'm now a GU customer with a £100 credit limit :rotfl:. Don't laugh, i know it's not much, but i just want those green 0's :T. Was told the account is reviewed every month, so hopefully i'll get increases soon enough :)

    Deffo go for it, girlies :money:

    So thanks peeps for your advice and encouragement :T.

    Drinks are on me :beer:

    they both kept on creating errors with the CRA's on a monthly basis which took me a while to sort out, so I closed the accounts down.:p
