    You're right, but this was an old search i was chasing up :o. The conflicting info i received from GU was irritating and i needed to know what the precise reason was for initially declining me.

    Anyhoo, no more searches :rotfl:.

    Hi all,

    In an effort to improve my hubbys credit rating, we're hoping to open a catalogue account and make regular payments.

    After reading through all these threads, JD williams seems the best option, however I've just gone on their site, and I wonder how everyone applies for the first time.

    Do you place an order? Or click on register to open a new account, or just request a catalogue.

    Sorry if they're stupid questions, but I don't want to mess it up!

    thanks

    Hi
    Click register, then on next page click the box which says, 'new online customer wishing to set up account'
    Easy application, should get £125 limit.
    May find on refreshing page or logging out and back in that limit disappears. Will (or should) come back in the morning or sooner :D
    Good luck :beer:

    Congratulations Tracy..:beer:
    Not sure but think APR is cheaper if you set up a direct debit :D

    May disappear completely but when if it comes back (and it should) it could drop to £100 or go up slightly.
    They do increase VERY regularly though if you use it wisely, my Jd Williams started at £125 and is now £1100..similar increases with my other accounts too, subject to using them regularly :beer:
