    Guys stop panicing!

    I've already confirmed the 4921 LTSB card is not full auth. Already used it on 'train; and in any case, not all my transactions leave my available balance straight away occasionally they take two or three days; not a full auth card - the full auth card from LTSB is blue ;)

    My EQ is STILL empty! I applied nearly a month ago and got delined but there was no search footprint on my EQ file.

    I appealed with 3 proofs of adddresses and a copy of my EQ report and they made an Unclassified Enquiry on my report. They then accepted me. So their search hasn't affected my score.

    I had 3 new accounts all opened in July last yr.

    oh I have just been approved for the ASDA reward credit card. credit limit is 1000 and apr 22

    I dont know who they searched though as the info is not available on my EX yet. EQ wont let me order a new report because I already ordered on in the morning.

    Asda = Santander (Eurgh!) = EX

    So your newest account was 6+ months old, fair cop. I'll wait until Mid May and apply for one myself then, at which point my newest card will be 6+ months old and I'll only have 2 searches in the last six months on EQ.

    Only two months to wait! Piece of cake...

    2 months should really be piece of cake unless you are ..... lol.

    Good luck for the future mate. Now i got 2 EX searches in the last month. Dont know if it's worth trying for the Tesco one

    ... Monthly groceries cleared in full?

    Or what I used my Barclaycard for at the weekend (first "proper" purchase since the card arrived on 7th November) - pets and everything that's needed for them :)

    I have three Rats now. They're awesome! Low maintenance, low running costs, intelligent, clean, can be taught tricks, but independent enough not to need attention all the time (like a dog would). Being caged my Landlady shouldn't have a seizure when she finds out, either ;)
