    I get my Cap 1 statment in 2 days time, hopefully they put up my limit also.

    I wonder if Cap 1 are reviewing all their customer accounts at the moment or maybe they are loosing a lot of customers to Sygma, Vanquis ETC.

    Haha the arguing is almost amusing when you aren't involved ;)

    Cheers mancini601, it looked to be genuine - just didn't think they upped it that much! I know most people on here complain at stupidly low limits for years & years!

    I went from £200 to £950 in one go...had the £200 limit for years...........

    afternoon all:j

    I am soooooooooo bored and am itching to apply for something, now I know I shouldnt and the chances of me being accepted are zilch but the itch wont go away roflol:rotfl::rotfl:

    How strict are Studio?? Cant get a cold from ANY catalogues.:rotfl:Have been "invited" to apply for a CAPONE now they declined me last year and the year before:rotfl::rotfl: But am thinking maybe I should see if they really do want me as a customer.:AAlbeit the "invite" was only thru email:A

    I am sooooooooooooooooo jealous of all those who have been accepted for the Silver card:eek::eek: Flipping fastest rejection I have had. In fact I swear I could hear them rolling around laughing at my cheek for applying down the computer:eek::rotfl::rotfl:

    I get my crap 1 statement on 23rd, with any luck they stick mine up too, but it only went up the other month :( I'm due some kind of rate decrease in a few months (can't remember when, binned the letter) so maybe they'll be nice and review my limit at the same time!?

    Oh and if I pay manually (I paid £10 manually so I could stick my insurance excess on there) do they still take the DD? My statement says £104 will be taken on 15th (or within 3 working days) but the online bit says nothing is due (I guess because the £10 is over the £5 min payment)

    hahaha!! Me too!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    I went a bit bad over last few weeks - applied for Vanqus, Aqua and Cap One - Aqua accepted me, the rest declined!:eek::eek:
    My Experian credit file is ok - have an old default on it but apart from that everything is ok. Haven't checked Equifax yet, too scared to do so LOL:(
    But I am :mad:itching:mad: to apply for something else - I should call it quits right here and now but I see all these other people applying and being accepted and I want to be part of the cool gang!!

    :)
