Three don't search Equifax, they're exclusively Experian. They searched me for my Sim Zero, but they didn't search me for my Internet Texter 200 + E71 when I went in store.
Maybe further down the list showing up as an Identification: Generic Check?Cashback Earned ¦ Nectar Points £68 ¦ Natoinwide Select £62 ¦ Aqua Reward £100 ¦ Amex Platinum £48

After 2years and 4days with capital one and still on the opening £100 limit, I have closed my account with them.
I have been twice refused an increase - so they can stick it.
Although, I have a cunning plan.....
I'm going to wait a few months and then apply for their progress card and see what happens.
You can do it the day after your old account is closed; doesn't matter if the account isn't reflecting as closed on your credit file yet; applying while it shows as open will probably strengthen the application anyway
Good luck & keep us posted!Cashback Earned ¦ Nectar Points £68 ¦ Natoinwide Select £62 ¦ Aqua Reward £100 ¦ Amex Platinum £48

Evening all,
the wife's Vanquis limit went from £250 to £750 over the weekend at some stage
had it 8 months now, always leave a little balance on the card.
pretty good increase
