Coop Debit Card

This is my first post, I was discharged Sept 2007 and have found the Coop bank very good. I read this forum at the weekend and decided to call the coop.

I stated that I had an electron card with them and could I have the new debit card as I wished to use it for online shopping. 5-7 days he said and it will be a Visa Debit Card he assured.

He also added that all cards will be upgraded as they expire

Many thanks
Michael

    Depending on how you use the card online some places will still treat the card as an electron NOT a visa debit as it's listed....

    Hmm car finance will be a nightmare for a while particularly in the current climate...ever thought about credit unions?

    Micheal, have you cleared up your credit file yet? Do you have lots of little green '0's on it? Its not just BR that causes a problem, but not having enough little '0's can also be detrimental and having old defaults still showing too.

    There is a credit clear up thread here. And check out the Sub-Prime threads on the Credit Card board - there are suggestions there of how to get the credit file back up and running. (well, trotting rather than running!!)
