    do you bank with FD already though? Had it 6 months and paid salary in?

    If so then you should be fine to apply, they ask lower scorers to wait 6 months, someone else got asked to wait as well i believe.... :D

    It can be difficult tbh. It took me bloody ages to get an iPhone from them. Finally got accepted. I had a few searches no late payments and 1 satisfied default. HTH

    I do. Been with then for coming up to 4 months. Maybe I should wait a while longer.
