    wont want to do it just yet but will sygma be better?


    Sygma search Equifax only. How is your Equifax file? Any defaults?

    You don't need a spotless file, i have a satisfied default which is over 3 years old, i have a Silvercard issue by Sygma with a £1300 limit.

    I just called Flybe and they've increased my limit to £1300, was put on hold for a few minutes while they credit checked me. They need to change that awful on-hold music, my ears are bleeding.

    EDIT: Tried increasing my Tesco limit and got the message: Sorry, we are unable to complete your request. Please contact us on 0845 604 0409 textphone 0870 154 1192, if you want to discuss this in more detail.

    I use it quite a lot and clear the balance each month, not fair!

    I said to my OH apply for a card from Sygma, he has no adverse, only thing is, his credit ratio is high as it's displayed on Experian?
    He's used about 50% you see:eek:

    Hi Innocent, when they increase your limit to quite a high amount do you use it then pay it back? If I used £1000 it'd take me about 3 months to pay back.
