    normaly they will be doing further checks if you get this one
  • Yeah you get that, then 1-2 days later you'll get a phone call and if you been approved in principle letter will come same day/day after the call...
    Currently going through this route myself :)
    Good luck

    I got this same message and then got declined but as a previous post mentioned they will still be doing checks so it could go either way.

    I keep getting quoted @ 24.9 by LTSB at the moment!!!
  • Yeah I got 17.7% as I am 22 years old, have only had a credit card for 1 year as well as an overdraft for the same length of time and have never had any loans before so I assume I am a high risk. On the plus side I pay all D/D on time, I only ever had 1 late payment in 2006 (which is new to me but its on my exquifax but not experian).

    They are checking my bank statements at the moment, not sure what for though?

    24.9% APR is the highest rate lloyds offer.

    If you bank with lloyds the quotation you were offered will be based on your account conduct and any additional borrowing commitments you have.
