Very catalogue account

If I have a shop direct account already, do very do another credit search or just go on the behaviour of my previous credit account?

I have had my current SDG account for almost a year now!

  • Oh okay! I got a generous (well in my eyes) opening limit so I was wondering, lol

    I wouldnt consider my credit poor but i wouldnt consider it good neither, I just wanted to know what they'd say! I was assuming I got that limit because i was an existing SDG customer

    I recently tried to open a Very account - and was declined!no hard credit search done only a 'soft' unrecorded search.Funny thing is most months when I make a payment or make a order or both my limit increases by several hundred pounds at a time!
