    Are they having a laugh....

    Did you phone them for an increase?

    Or information on the sub prime forum loyalty card scheme?

    Called to confirm I had set up DD. I asked what offers I had and that was one along with some balance transfer deals.

    TBH I don't see how @ 24.9% they see this as a deal..... The advisor thought this was quite good :rotfl:

    Nearly as nice as Vanquis who offered me a cash advance at 59.9% before my card arrived. She seemed a little put out when I laughed (by accident) and said no ta.

    The same people that think payday loans etc. are a good idea I think.

    Offers like that cash advance remind you who the people behind Vanquis are!

    phoned up sygma about my silver card application and told to wait for 7-10 days.
    does not look good.

    It really could go either way... it's not a straight decline, and not a straight accept. Don't give up hope!

    I removed all notice of corrections from my credit report as they caused more harm than good. Sometimes the system may accept but NOC cause a refer to underwriter who can decline.
