    Evening guys!

    I spoke to MBNA today and apparently, they declined me for the MBNA classic card because I dont have 3 years credit history. They also said I dont have 3 yrs checkable address history - only been on E/R 1yr.

    I said I was going to appeal but they said dont bother because it's company policy lol.

    Spoke to Capital One again about crappy credit limit and that I wanted account closed. The Floor Manager advised me to write to the Manual review dept, who may be able to help.

    full address:

    Manual review dept, capital one bank, po box 5285, Nottingham, NG2 3HX.

    I was advised to include the limit i wanted and to say what i want it for - purchases or BT. I said I wanted 1000. well, i know they would say it's too much that will give me reason to close account lol

    Please also indicate that you're happy for crappy1 to access your credit file info.

    Apparently, they will do a soft search but will need your permission.

    Anyone can try this as you stand to lose nothing if they say no.

    I know alot can change on credit files so while I was being accepted I was going to apply. I want to get my app stint out the way so that I can start my SOS..

    LOl. Be careful though as that could be interpreted as a sign of desperation probably fraud. Why not wait if you've already got a couple or so:)

    secure message will come back to say 'sorry we dont increase credit limit upon request.' You get to be told the tricks when they actually see that they are going to lose you lol
