    Hi All,

    Whats happened?

    Niddy applied to 1st Direct again yesterday - a year after I last applied (First Direct)! Lets hope this time they give in to their desires - they know they want my custom lol.....

    Bank of Cyprus is still a handy wee parachute account to have, I use it for money laundering purposes and they are fine with it :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    :o 2010 - year of the troll :o

    When was it last issued/increased mate? :D

    As for 1st Direct - don't do it if you've just opened a CC with HSBC as it will bring your behaviour score down (apparently) - you need to give it a good 3 months as FD are stricter on new accounts, in fact you went Sygma mad didn't you mate? LOL - numpty! :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Seriously though, regards to FD - if I get it then you will, as I have a HSBC Cifas lol :eek: - but they never auto declined me! However that means little, last year - see here #5 - then in the end it was declined - gutted!!

    Last time O/D was issued was November 2009 and that was just the standard "you can keep your existing overdraft for another year" letter. I have not actually applied for an increase in over 18 months.
