Capital One Credit Limit increase...

I am due for my 4th C1 statement to be generated on the 24th August. I presume that I will get an increase as I've stayed under my limit and not missed any payments.
My limit is £500 at the moment. Any ideas what it could be put up to?

Hehe!
Oh that sounds like a good increase! Will it make my file look a bit better as it will reduce my debt/available credit ratio.... Also as it shows I've been given an increase.0 -

Can I ask how much you have been spending per month and have you been paying it off in full ?
I recieved my capitalone card yesterday with £1000 limit, although do not need it increased may as well if they will do it after 4 months , just wondered how much I should spend on it , will be paying it off in full each month though , will they still increase it or should I leave a balance on it ?TOTAL 44 weeks lose. 6st 9.5lb :T0 -

Capital one usually offer set increases for 4th statement. These are usually not effected by spending pattern unless you go over the limit, miss payment etc.Bank Accounts - Barlcays Premier[/B] - £1000 o/d, HSBC - £200 o/d- First Direct - £500

I actually had a default (later changed to late payment marker) on my file when I was accepted for Capital One. This is bad obviously, but I have loads of good history on my account so that obviously helped their decision.
I will report back on Monday what happens once my statement is generated :beer:0
