    Why are you closing it?

    They p155 me of with the up& down credit limits. The credit manager said she will manually override to up my credit limit however it may go down again next month. I dont want the account, all i wanted was the green (0)'s and I have those now so its time to settle them....

    I'm going to close my Empire Stores one too.

    I'll have Littlewoods, Very, Capital One and Grattan. I'm then going to close Grattan or Very once I get another credit card.

    WOW, how come? Won't that look a little bizarre on your credit file?

    I'd leave Capital One. I'm going to shut my Jacamo one down too. Never buy anything from them

    I did ask this question however I have been advised that this will have a positive impact....

    I love Next's clothes, my credit limit has gone up and down, but at the mo it's holding steady at £500. It's been that for about 2 months. It was £600 before hand.

    Sounds good, I currently have 18/19 active accounts so really need to settle some as I have the 2 new cards on the way....

    In 2013 I will have no defaults, and in the mean time, my 'biggie' will drop off in 2011, but sill, 2013 seems soooo long away :( for some reason I thought it was next year :(
