    Yeah see what you mean,what i am saying is most of us who have been accepted for sygma cards,will be told by the big prime cards like AMEX,MBNA etc after careful consideration sorry but you dont meet are criteria.

    Perhaps thats cos they used full 6 years credit search - besides getting MBNA or AMEX is difficult anyway because of higher credit score ie 25K-30K in order to get one. Its-A-New-Age-Thing got Nationwide full account - one of the hardest to get in UK....even though he got an old default...

    Just phoned up creations about my £1000 limit she said after 3 months it will go up £300,then 4 months after that it will £450..so basically she said every 4 months get increase.

    It is mostly accepted to those who have an improving credit history....ie no missed payments/adverse data in the past 2-3 years. I don't recall anyone who has a CCJ/bankrupty being accepted?


    Hi everyone

    Hubby and I both have Silvermastercards with £2k limit each. I have mine about 4 months him about 2 months.

    We have between us about 16 defaults all dated May 05 , which is date we entered IVA. We finished IVA in May 2008. I would add that out credit files do not mention anywhere about IVA just defaults and all now paid. We also have other credit cards, mortgage etc

    We have both been turned down for Flybe cards in the past and again last week lol We got the " apply for Vanquis" letter yesterday.

    It seems as others have said sygma will accept any Tom !!!!!! or Harry lol
