    Oh my god!!!!

    I think I have been accepted by Cap 1 for their Classic card!!!!!

    Went through the initial assessment and eventually signed an agreement!!

    Said my card should arrive in 7 - 10 days!!!!

    I assume this means I will defo get a card now - guessing £250 limit?

    Can anything go wrong with my application or has it defo been accepted?

    What are cap 1 like for limit increases?

    Thanks

    WooHoo,

    Just spoke to Cap1, They have given me a limit of £200 which is the minimum stated but who cares!!! Almost feel like a real person lol!

    Well done mate! Did they give you the APR and limit?
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Well i always thought that from a lenders point of view that you would have a lot more to loose should you default when having a mortgage.

    Before the credit crunch i wanted a 20k unsecured loan from halifax. they turned me down because of not having a mortgage.

    Having a mortgage does not change a persons risk factor, yea it helps their overall credit score under "stability" facotrs but thats it. Maybe if they have a mortgage and then secure a debt to it, obviously, but there are many factors to take into account.

    You need to bear in mind the actual available risk, available profit, loan-to-value amount etc etc

    basically a mortgage does nothing when scoring for unsecured debts other than show you can meet commitments, but then still, if you have a mortgage and loads of unsecured debts - you fall into hard times, tell me, what will you pay and what will you forego?

    I know the answer to that and so do the lenders lol ;);)
