It was her first order on her own account yeah, and nope, she didn't change the address.
It's actually more confusing that they refuse to give a reason..This thread has me so pumped, I headbutted my dog and we both screamed.0 -
Received my freemans statement today and credit limit increased to £1950 from £1600. That is all my catalogue accounts had credit limit increases in the past month. I wouldn't care but the balances on them are small and there is not way I would max those limits.0

I've had mine 3 months, My limit has gone up £100 each month and my account has been pretty much maxed out as there's been things I need. Although I intend to pay the whole balance off next month.
Aslong as you're making minimum payments I don't think they're actually bothered. (so it seems)This thread has me so pumped, I headbutted my dog and we both screamed.0 -
