    thanks for that again i tried for a Natwest card through my bank Natwest and got declined, i think i tried for a Halifax too around 4-5 months ago and was declined.
    Bad luck, but thanks for your feedback.
    What i will do if they try and increase my interest is just close my account, i think i can then freeze the interest rate at the previous one? i may be wrong but i think that's how it works from reading others stories.
    Yes, following government intervention, it's now a requirement to offer this option ;)
    What do you think my chance of getting an MBNA is? Is it usually bad news if they say they will get back to you in 7-10 days?
    Not necessarily. From feedback here, it could go either way.

    I think a lender that has turned you down recently for one of its credit cards (Virgin) and has blocked BTs and money transfers on your existing card, was not a good bet tbh, but this is just my opinion of course. Only MBNA knows the answer.

    Very best

  • thanks for your input it is very much appreciated:beer:
    hopefully fingers crossed this will be ok and i'll get the new mbna if not it looks like i'm gonna have to try and pay the £500 cash on my hsbc pretty sharpish.

    don't deal with MBNA - they will rob you blind - deal with ANYONE else - there are plenty of legitimate lenders - don't make my mistake!
