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.0 -
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....Bank Accounts - Barlcays Premier[/B] - £1000 o/d, HSBC - £200 o/d- First Direct - £500

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.0 -

Suppose.
I'm going to close Empire at the beginning of April when my finally payment has cleared.0 -
Cant wait until I am prime - I would say prime again, but I have never been prime haha!!
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 awayfor some reason I thought it was next year
