    Yipee, all sorted. Card received :)

    Did you get any confirmation before you received your card ? ie. a welcome pack.

    Or was the card the first you knew that you had been accepted ?

    It's just I am going through the same thing at the moment. Got referred on monday.

    has anyone thought, [knowing Co-op of old]....that the use of the term ''referred'' might simply mean, ''someone else is on the computer now, so we'll have to wait our turn?? Might have a go next Tuesday?''
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......

    Have to say, am surprised at Barclays. They are supposed to be BR friendly and my ex went BR owing them a fair few quid and they still opened a basic account.

    At least you got your Co-op one sorted in the end, so good news.

    I think it might be because he hasn't gone BR yet
